Really nice property. The the room was awesome. The only criticism I have is next door there's a bar that was really, really loud. So if you're trying to get some rest, then that could be a problem.

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!

Awesome place nothing but friendly people around here and great atmosphere. However there just isnt any office which gives off an unprotected or no help feeling. No one to really call if you wish to discuss an issue or anything. Just wish there was an office staff it is a hotel otherwise lovely expirence. Great area i do recommend to others just maybe not in busy seasons. Love the rooms decor and amenities will definitely consider staying again.

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 !

Beautiful Retro Beach Hotel.

Ive traveled extensively for work and play, so the franchise hotels get a little boring. I was in Carolina Beach NC, and this little place pops onto my screen. I liked the colors and the theme, so I booked it for a couple of nights. Pulling in and parking, I immediately felt like I was back in my childhood at one of those places that dotted the beach everywhere. Entering the room, I found a brand new renovation complete with higher end fixtures. The fridge and microwave were completely retro. The beds are quite comfortable and thebroom was clean. The location is perfect as it sits right on the Boardwalk. I was able to park and walk everywhere i wanted to go including work. This will not be the last time I stay there. The staff is equally as awesome. I checked in online and they sent me thebdoor code. Received good morning texts asking how my stay was, and giving tips on where to eat and things to do. Again thoroughly awesome. Do yourself a favor and check out this little gem.
