Overall, our stay at Boardwalk Inn was very good. Everything was great except for an issue with our room key not working at first. It turned out we were accidentally booked for one day instead of two, which caused a bit of panic when the key didn’t work. Thankfully, staff fixed the issue quickly and easily. Other than that, everything was great.

Tyler is awesome. We came for my wife birthday. We are enjoying the weekend. Thank you Tyler for making this weekend her best birthday celebration. Your customer service is definitely a ten. We will tell all my my friends about the Boardwalk Inn. Easy access to everything. The room were very clean. Right now we are sitting on the balcony listening to DJ playmusic. We watch a Christmas movie from the balcony last night. Just a great place to stay with lot of things to do and places to eat.

The view is nice. It’s quiet if you come during the week. There aren’t many options for eating halal and they don’t allow food from outside vendors into the hotel. It’s nice but very overpriced. We came here to stay close to the boardwalk but a day trip is enough.
