What guests think

At Beachside Resort Hotel, travellers highlight the walkable location across from the beach and generally friendly staff, but note the older, budget property shows wear with inconsistent cleanliness and various maintenance issues that can affect comfort.

Many rooms offer three beds and large fridges, though mattresses and in-room features like TVs or phones are hit-or-miss. The rooftop pool and easy parking are appreciated, but pool upkeep, elevators, and laundry machines are unreliable at times. Expect a basic, convenient stay near the beach if you prioritize location and price over polish.

Sand on the floors in the room like it wasn't cleaned well after the guest before me. one of the elevators broken so it always took long to go up or down. that should have been a priority to fix it since its busy season. water coming in under the window seal in the room. we had to use the towels to clean it and request more towels for us to use.

Nice hotel just off the beach on the main road. Loved the swimming pool on the third floor overlooking the road, made for a lovely evening sitting area to watch people in traffic go by. Across the street from there was a Bahama Bob’s which offers a lovely happy hour and good food

No one at the counter at check in, waited 15 minutes while another employee just sat in the lobby. I had to ask him to get someone after I called the hotel number and it rang for 5 minutes with no answer. Pool was gross, I didn’t even want to look at it. Most all of the lounge chairs and chairs were broken or bent. Garbage everywhere.

I like that Beachside resort is across the street from Bahama Bob’s and the beach, plus near Sunliner Diner and various shops. I enjoy the retro aesthetic of the hotel and the rooftop pool but there were many minor maintenance failures and no towel’s available in the poolside towel rack.

The hotel was old, so you could see the age on it. Our room was nice, but did have a few issues. Main issue I had was the window. The window was at the walkway that everyone walked by. I was unable to close the curtains so people could look into our room. We have to figure out something to put over the window. There were no phone in the room, so you could not call the desk. The next morning I went down and reported it to the clerk. I was never fixed. The hotel advertised a bar and restaurant, both were closed.

For the price i dudnt expect luxury but i dis expect clean! The entire place is dirty! The outside was dirty the elevator was disgusting and nkt cleaned once while we were there. Our room was dirty and falling apart. The beds were uncomfortable and the room smelled awful like cheap cleaning prosucts that i know hadnt been used. I dont know how rhos place passes an inspection. The ceilings are peeling off holes woth sharp edges in the tile. No drain cover in the sink water wouldnt drain in the tub. People in the parking lot climbing on top of a car. Someone knocking on our door at 2 am. Very trashy place. I was 8 hours from home and had no choice but to stay for 2 night's and found something else. Do not waste your money staying here!!

Rooms

Rooms are spacious for families, with options for three beds and large refrigerators, but decor is dated and some mattresses sag. Noise near the pool or walkway-facing windows and occasional TV or phone issues affect comfort for some.

Great location with a nice pool for the kids. Two of the three beds were comfortable, but one mattress was terribly worn out. The shower area needs a few corner shelves or some place to put a bar of soap or bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

Best deal right at the beach. It’s not super fancy but it was really clean. The tv needed to be replaced due to double picture a the door handle/lock to the room was coming off the door but it could still be locked from the inside. I did tell the front d ask and she said it would get attention asap. My family will def be staying again in the near future.

It was a good location but the room was definitely sated. Stains on the creeping, deadbolt on door didn’t work, remote to tv didn’t work, ac made rattling sound, we were right by the pool so you could hear kids screaming till 10:00. But it was cheap and a short walk to the beach so it is what it is. Would prob stay again if I was on a budget but get a room away from pool and check everything before I unpack.

The place was not what I expected from a 'Beachside resort'. It is more like a Motel 6 across a busy street from the beach. The room was clean, but the place is run-down. The toilet seat was about to fall off, the window shade was stuck, and the only ice machine was in the lobby. Maybe a decent place for a quick overnight, but nothing I'd stay in for a week's vacation near thee beach.

Front desk reps were always friendly and professional. Stopped in daily to say good morning to Penny. Pool towels were requested late afternoons which were never a problem to get. Pool had a good bit of sand on the floor but its expected due to the beach is across the street. Breakfast was beyond what I expected for quick grab & go items. Staff provided great recommendations for dining & activities other than the beach. My family & I will definitely stay here again when in the area.

I had requested a room on an upper level and on check in was told we had 112, on the ground floor. When questioned about it, the check in person, grabbed the keys away and gave room 302 instead. The room turned out to be on the same level as the swimming pool, so it was okay. She just wasn’t very personable. She offered no instructions as far as amenities available like coffee, pool hours, directions to the beach, etc. The beach was across a street just a short distance away.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here and the past 2 times have been good, but after this last stay we probably won’t be back. We were laying in bed relaxing and 2 maintenance men unlocked the door and came into our room….and instead of apologizing and leaving, they STAYED and kept fixing the cable!! After 5 minutes or so, we decided to leave and when we came back probably an hour or so later the men were gone but they left our door open and all of our belongings were inside. The bath towel had a glob of hair stuck to it, there was a blood stain on one of the pillow cases, and there were plastic wrappers on the bed (maybe from the maintenance men?). Just such a weird experience this time and not very enjoyable. Will try somewhere new next time we are back in town which is unfortunate because the beds are comfy, the location is great, and the price is very fair. Also, the rooms aren’t completely terrible but they are pretty old and dirty. Lots of dirt on the baseboards and in the corners, cracking ceilings, holes in the walls, etc.

For the most part it was a good experience. BUT, the free breakfast was still in COVID conditions and didn't show "Resort" as the name applies. It was all packaged goods, packaged muffins, cereal, packaged juice (only orange and cran-grape) their actual dining area says Temporary Closed, staff only and looks like they have been using it as storage since COVID. The people there were nice but the "Resort Breakfast" was severely lacking and they need to get out of COVID and into the present. It was very disappointing. Will not come back until the dining room is up and running again. Having a family of 5. Juice fountain and waffle maker is a must, which from past experiences they had before COVID.

The room was right near the pool, so it was very loud with children and adults talking and several loud bangs on our door and walls on both sides of our room. No free breakfast as it indicated on the website when booking. It was one of the reasons we selected that location, along with advertising that it was beachside. It was not "beachside" really, because you have to cross the road and walk to the public access before being on the beach.
