Overpriced for Very Little
The stay was not what was expected nor advertised. The ambience on the first floor (check-in) was lovely, but the room was similar to other 2 -3-star rating hotels. The price paid was not validated by the type of room we were placed in. The tv barely worked and showed only a tiny blurry picture (seemed as though the cable was bootleg). Could not watch a decent show at all. We purposely paid for a room with a waterfront view. The chairs on the balcony were flipped over as if a strong wind turned them over. The chairs were filthy dirty. The night receptionist was nice but lacked knowledge regarding typical questions asked regarding specials and dining rewards we were supposed to have. She gave us towels that had either nail or lipstick stains (red) on them. The room did not smell fresh (stale). Be aware that the walls are paper thin, and your complete conversation can be easily heard from the hallway. The phone in the room looks like an old cheap retro phone. Note: there is not enough handicap parking at all! Overall reminded me of a Hotel 6.

Highly recommend- very cool place!
Fun stay at the Boardwalk Inn! We had a view of the waterfront and loved watching the sailboats go by. Super friendly staff which made for a pleasant and easy check in and checkout. Very comfortable bed and we took full advantage of walking the boardwalk. Live music was fantastic and many restaurant options within walking distance. Recommend highly. Families with kiddos enjoying rides and games on the boardwalk too. Pretty cool!

Regular rooms are small
Hotel was nice enough, old and chipping but ok. Rooms are small and tight. We took the family for my daughter's 11th birthday so there were 4 of us and it was so cramped. Only 1 lounge chair - no couch, and 2 dining chairs, barely any walking around room. I don't think they want you to stay in the room.
