Not at all what we were expecting. Old, dirty, smelly, noisy. Asked to change rooms due to dogs barking, the smell of weed, and we were told we couldn’t switch and we couldn’t cancel or we’d lose our money. So we were stuck without any other choice.

The overall stay was good. The room was adequate for the six of us. Aside from the mattress on the bottom bunk being bad they quickly replaced it once we let them know. Front desk staff was ok,cafe staff was horrible. Prices were not displayed on the menu and when asked the attendant seemed irritated. Housekeeping and grounds staff were very nice. One of the pools wasn’t available but the next day it was. No umbrellas at the pool either. The location was great and beach access was a breeze. As I recall the website said beach chairs available but that was not the case. If you did not want room serviced there were no do not disturb signs it would have been something you request at check in. I will visit again because of the price and accessibility to the beach.

This was by far the worst experience we have ever had with staying at a hotel. Staff were rude and not accommodating at all. Our room reeked of weed, so we had to walk all the way back to the front desk to get keys for a new room. Were called by security (@ 1am) that we had ro move our trailer to an overflow parking which we were not informed of when checking in. When i called in the morning to extend our checkout time, they said I could pay and take care of it at 2pm when we check out, only to be called once we got halwlfway down the beach saying we had to pay then. Utterly ridiculous! I will never stay at The Boardwalk again. We come to this area multiple times a year but will never stay here again. And I will make sure everyone I know knows what a horrible experience we had and we would not recommend to anyone.

Being as fair as possible. The location is great, and the value is going to be in being on the beach for this price. The room was clean-ish when checking in, but due to the vinyl flooring, it holds so much moisture and dirt, so we had to wipe our feet before getting in and out of bed. The pools are dated but clean enough. Much of the exterior is worn down, even some of the ceiling of the breezeways peeling paint. The other upside is they allow larger dogs and only $20 a night per dog.

This place is not like the pictures at all!!! They had us in a completely different building than what was pictured. Myself and children were scared for our safety in the dimly lit hall way with a bunch of crowds smoking pot and having extremely loud trap music going. We could not sleep due to the noise and this room was NASTY. We refused to shower, change, or sit on the toilet.

Exactly what we needed

We stayed as a family and it wasn’t fancy but it was safe, and the beds were comfortable. Way better prices than the other hotels in the area. Also the staff is great, my only real issue with the place is the lack of elevator. All in all it was a good stay.

Stayed in a Tides balcony room. Housekeepers kept the grounds very clean and were more helpful than the front desk. My door didn’t shut had to move to another room but the card didn’t work. Toilet was bolted to the wall the whole wall moved when you sat on the toilet. Pedestal sink no vanity for items, they don’t show you that in the pictures. Pool was dirty and always crowded. Couldn’t sleep because fire alarm went off no fault of the hotel. Only one ice machine in lobby. Beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Internet and TV kept going out. Overcharged $20 for pet fee.
