Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, a By The Sea Resort

Rooms, property and upkeep was not good. Spoke to 5 other renters and they all were not happy with the property

Good location, beach

The room was in terrible condition, the floor was dirty, your feet stuck to it, the air conditioner was clogged with dust and smelled unpleasant.

Love the place and love the view

The view of the ocean

Nothing

The entire hotel is trashy Including our beds were broke The room was not clean the floors had not been swept or mopped

The friendly staff and that the facility is on the beach with a beach front view

The shortage of parking but it was ok to park across the new street, since the have a walk way now.

Polite and helpful staff. Great pool, hot tub, and tiki bar (although food only 2 days a week…usually just drinks), and wonderful access to the beach. We loved the balcony, as well as a stove, fridge, microwave, dishes, large bathroom, and roll-out couch. Also, convenient location not far from restaurants, bars, and even Pier Park. Very walkable area.

The elevators were the worst — only two for the entire place and they take forever: forever to come, forever to move, and when the doors slowly grind closed (sometimes) you find yourself hoping they will indeed open again when you get to your floor! Since they only put us on the second floor (even though we had requested as high as possible), we often took the stairs in order to avoid the elevators altogether. The parking lot in front of the hotel is very small, so be prepared to park across the street, adjacent to a half-torn down building or vacant lot. It ended up not being a problem for us, and I’m glad they paid for our parking; but it was a little dark on the sides and I would have been nervous parking there if we had to (many other guests did). It was annoying also that there was no broom in the unit, and bare floors throughout — so sand came in and was eventually all over. I was glad I brought slippers. The set-up (with the beds right next to the front door, instead of the entry-room and/or kitchen first), felt a little odd and less like a homey condo; but I suppose they can’t change that! It was also weird finding a some previous renter’s clothing pieces in the unit, which had fallen behind the desk/dresser and were never removed. But overall… we did like the place a lot, and would probably consider staying again.

Location and proximity to the beach. Great view from the balcony.

No exclusive parking for hotel guest. Had to park across the street in a overload lot
