The building is right off an alley, with landing right on the alley and property line, no set back at all. We can’t open the curtains as it look right into the alley and no privacy from thouse across. It’s not what it shown in the photos when booking. The building is very old apartment with new finishes, but no insulation for sound. We can hear every step from upstairs guests. Water running from upstairs. Sheets were dirt. Red stains, hairs from eyelash, long curly hairs, pubic hairs were all found on white sheets and pillow cases. I emailed those to the staff, no one is onsite to provide extra change of sheets. Street parking is free and plenty available when we asked about $25 onsite parking with delayed response. The area is great. Safe to walk around. But the property itself is lack of what hotel should be equipped of.

The rooms are fantastic. The quality of the materials and decoration are impeccable. A wonder. Very good location (2 blocks from the beach). The only thing left to do is improve the cleaning in detail, glass, and make the check-in process easier. I had to call while at the door because I had not received the entry information. Thank you!

Staff was great with communication through phone and emails and was friendly and helpful in person as well. Just a short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Olive Cafe and the bakery are a must. Parking was limited next to the hotel but you can reserve a spot. Room was clean and well furnished.

No Staff After 5PM
Great hotel once settled in but there was a communication break down about the lack of on site staffing after 5PM. Be aware that nobody is at work here other than 9-5 business hours, and it took me hours to get someone on the phone to provide parking and WiFi login information. The remainder of my trip was lovely, but this was a very rocky start.

What made the place a high rating was the girl working the front desk. She was very attentative and the things that this poor girl had to do to accommodate everyone was above and beyond. Give this girl a raise. The room was clean and parking is easily accessible but you will have a guaranteed parking for 25 dollars a night in front of your room. It was quite a show the 1st night but the situation was resolved immediately by the front desk. Everything is in walking distance and the Steak house (Moe's) is right down the street which was amazing as well. Thank you Boardwalk Hotel for making it a great getaway from society.
