5/5 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Boulevard Inn! The location is perfect. Close to shops, restaurants, and the beach. While it wasn't beach season yet, we still enjoyed walking down to watch the sunsets. We dined in the Bistro the first night for an early anniversary celebration and they gave us a signed anniversary card and a special dessert. Nice touches. Highly recommend the Elk. Amazing. We also had one breakfast in the Bistro. The staff in the Bistro is top notch. Very friendly. We highly recommend The Boulevard Inn for a couples getaway or a family vacation. Rooms are more than spacious enough for families. The decor is eclectic and maybe a little outdated, but that's part of the charm. Really it's all about location, location, location, and this hotel has it. And the staff is friendly and welcoming. Oh and I can't forget, the fresh baked cookies in the afternoon! Definitely a welcomed perk!"
