Boardwalk Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful! The best part about this hotel is the location and direct beach access. You can tell that at one point in time the property was a very beautiful place to stay. With that being said the rooms and buildings were very outdated and in need of minor repairs. The check in process was a horrible experience that lasted hours even after the timeframe given by the app, booking details and staff. I will say that the staff do a FANTASTIC job at getting you a parking pass and allowing you to enjoy the pool and beach while you wait. The staff all get my thanks on being patient and kind during what was a VERY busy check in. I could not do what they do and I appreciate their kindness as other people checking in were not as kind. I traveled with a range of college aged kids to age 8 and we all felt safe whilst having a fun and memorable vacation. For the affordable cost the stay was still well worth every penny."
