"Friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms. Great location."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Our two day stay was very good. Our needs were met and the front desk girls were very friendly and willing to help us with finding a pickle ball court and giving us table service and bowls so we could eat our own breakfast in our rooms. The room was large and clean. The weight room was great too. The hotel was close to downtown so we walked everywhere including the beach nearby.

We stayed at The Boulevard Inn for a wedding. They were very accommodating!
