Property is very old and needs updating. (Crappy beds, small tv, only a couple of plugs, doors stick) We did not have any roaches, but the tub drain was very slow so you would be standing in a couple inches of water by the end of the shower. Beach right there and was great.

The rooms are horribly maintained. The shower faucet handle was loosley hanging off the wall, the shower pan was lifting from the floor with a clear gap full of mold under it, the walls were missing photos with hooks just left there, the furniture was all pulled out from the walls with a single power cord behind it to run the mini fridge caked in dust and grime. The mini fridge was so loud we had to unplug it to sleep. Every switch, knob, surface was coated in dirty fingerprints. The bathroom door would not latch to close. Maintenance staff was painting over mold on the outside of the building. It looks like there is a wall of windows for the room based on outside photos, but 2 of the 3 windows are walled up from the inside of the room. The positive side is staff was friendly, baseboards were oddly the only part of the room dusted and the toilet was clean. Its a cheap spot if you are a kid on spring break, but not reccomended if you are trying to have a romantic getaway.

Beautiful beach!

This was my third time staying at Boardwalk Beach hotel with my dog, and I will be back! The beach is breathtaking and the sunsets beautiful. There is a nice boardwalk to walk the dog. Several restaurants are nearby, and there is one right at the hotel (although not open every day). The room is basic but clean, and big enough for setting up the dog’s bed without stumbling on it. I wish they had more rooms with a queen or king bed for couples. There was some noise from work they were doing on the exterior of the building. During our weeklong stay the floor got quite sandy and not cleaned, it would be nice to have a broom in the room.
