We enjoyed our stay at the boardwalk. Great location that is an easy walk to beach, restaurants and shops. Room was spacious and comfortable. Parking is limited so I recommend booking a parking spot asap to secure one especially if you have a large car.

We LOVED our stay at Boardwalk Hotel. Chloe was very attentive to all our needs. Our room was clean & affordable for extended stay. LOVED having a kitchenette. Bidet was a bonus for us, after traveling to Japan earlier this year. Hotel is super close to beach, eateries & shopping. Highly recommend for ease & comfort.
