DeGrandeUnited StatesWe will definitely be back.
We liked how close it was to the beach.
The parking is very crammed for a SUV
DamonUnited StatesJust average.
Fun decor, and of course the private hot tub.
Location is in a weird high traffic alley. Walls are thin.
MarioUnited StatesThe location was excellent and the rooms were clean. The front desk staff, Juliet, was also great and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Close to the beach and safe for family with children
-Not cleaned properly; thick dust over some of the furniture top.
-The automated flush didnt work properly.

Questions about The Boardwalk Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at The Boardwalk Hotel?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Boardwalk Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Boardwalk Hotel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does The Boardwalk Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Boardwalk Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Boardwalk Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
