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.

Nice location, clean,but when I called the staff for an issue I was having she told me flat out she didn't want to be bothered. I handled the problem myself. She should not be on call to help customers, especially telling them that she didn't want to be bothered. What is she getting paid for? Other than her I thought it was a great stay.

The room was cute! The bed was comfortable. The pool could really use updating. Lots of mold and broken umbrellas. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut due to it being swollen from humidity. We asked to check in an hour early and she wanted to charge us $35 extra. The room ac unit is VERY loud. I didnt sleep well due to it. Some may like that. Location was great though. The outdoor shower could really use some cleaning. It was nasty!

We live a small motel and have been bring our kids to CB for MANY years (they’re now grown)-the boardwalk inn was beautifully remodeled and so close to the boardwalk to the arcade and restaurants…and the beach! Having the dog run was perfect for a quick bathroom break for our pup and all the different sitting areas meant you could spread out…we lived sitting in our rocking chairs on the porch (we were in #6 so we were second floor at the end so no one was walking by so Milo could sit out there with us. They had the grand opening while we were there and there was food and drink and everyone was friendly and nice! Don’t pass this one up-it’s affordable and convenient to everything!

I loved how cute the place was & convient to walk around town . But I was a little bummed at the room . It wasn’t even the room I had booked . It was smaller . The bottom of the shower curtain was nasty . I had to bathe my 3 year old in the shower bc I had no tub . I had two small kids and we had to walk the stairs up to the room we didn’t even book . The bugs around the pool was awful ! It was a cute little place but I feel it was talked up a good bit online . I heard several others say the same . It would have been nice to get the bigger room I paid for !

I didn't particularly care for the pets. Barking all hours of the night and very thin walls don't really help for sleep. No hot water on the first day to take a shower. Then the hotel manager opens my room door with me half clothes laying in the bed. I stayed because it was cheaper but I think I'll pay the extra next time for piece.

This was a last minute decision to find somewhere to stay overnight. Price was good, on the beach, VERY clean. We’d stay here again. We liked the bar across the street. They had live music and it didn’t bother us when we went to bed. The pool/pool area could use some help. Overall 👍

My main concern was the cleanliness of the pool; unless they use odorless chlorine, this pool had no chlorine at all, I felt as if taking a plain water bath in a bath tub. This was a turn off! Another bather shared my concern while at pool with me.

Motel room is okay, big enough for a couple, good mattress. Shower is so tiny, if that doesn’t bother you, good, A/C unit is LOUD but some people like that, music outside is also loud, but that’s just part of its location, what can you do? Now the door to the beach, holy moly it was so difficult to get open with the pin, I saw MULTIPLE people struggling including myself. I have a short temper, that door pissed me off, my front door also had issues with the pin. If you don’t mind struggling/noise it’s a “cheap” stay. If you read this and make a face, don’t stay here.

The room was clean and everything was done by text. They do not have an office where you can speak to someone but they said they were available via phone. Parking was good and the pool was nice. Great super close beach access. The shower was really small, anyone over weight pregnant or claustrophobic would not enjoy the shower.

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!
