Amazing little gem!
Amazing location with easy beach access and boardwalk. Great virtual fronk desk. Communication was great! Room was cute and clean. Perfect for the 2 of us. Shower faucet was loose, air conditioner loud but worked great, and walls were thin. But overall perfect for our wknd getaway and would 100% book again!

The location was great and the room was up to date and decorated well! The only downside due to it being close to everything was noise late and the people thumping around upstairs. We would definitely stay here again though!

We had a corner room #10. We had amazing views of the ocean from every window. The walk to local coffee shops and stores was very convenient. Loved the room beach decorations.

Great location! Easy parking. V tired pool.
You can’t beat the location for the beach and boardwalk. The room was cute and well laid out. The bathroom is very small overall with a good size shower. The tiling needs a refresh but it was clean.
The kitchenette is great and the full size fridge was a bonus.
The pool area was disappointing. The pool and concrete area around it are crumbling to pieces.

My wife is a hotel and inn snob and I was a little apprehensive about her opinion once we arrived. First thing she said was nice job on picking this place. It is close to everything, especially to the beach.

Boardwalk inn cozy
Convenient to boardwal and beach, pool warm, good kick back area, could use upgrade, kinda like a home porch area needing a remodel, but sufficient. Studio is small. Next time i would book room with kitchen

Newly renovated and super nice!!! Great amenities, in walking distance of many restaurants and shops. Right on the boardwalk. Nice rocking chairs outside of the room. Highly enjoyed our trip and we were very pleased with the accommodations. Will stay again.

Great place with updated, clean rooms. We loved all the little touches. We came early, so I wish there was a place to change, but all the outdoor spaces were great. Convenient to many things!

Really nice property. The the room was awesome. The only criticism I have is next door there's a bar that was really, really loud. So if you're trying to get some rest, then that could be a problem.

A little getaway
For the holiday weekend so close to the board walk and the beach, the price was unbeatable. The room itself was nice and cozy and checkin was fast simple and easy. Free parking with pass was included which was really helpful and walking distance to entertainment and food. The only this i did not care for was the shower. The water pressure was too light and the shower head didn't really allow you to apply soap before rinsing it away. I would suggest a detachable shower head instead.
