Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, a By The Sea Resort

This was the worst hotel (condition wise) that I have ever stayed at in the last 20 years. It was dirty, rundown, noisy, and the staff could not have cared less. The ocean front balcony was unusable as there was water (dripping from the room above) covering most of the floor of the balcony with black mold. There was black mold on the ceiling above where the water was dripping from, so this was not a recent problem. I reported this to the person working the front desk, and he said they were working on it, (they weren't). I asked to change rooms, and he said they were completely booked. Also, the pictures on the Hotels.com listing must have been from when this place first opened, so if you were to imagine that same room after 30 year of wear and neglect, that's what it looks like. I won't even try to describe the bathroom. If we hadn't checked in so late, I would have left. I'm still amazed at the recent reviews this place received. Either they're family members, or we just got the worst room available because we were late checking in. Either way, this place should be bought, torn down and rebuilt, because it does have an incredible view of the beach, ocean and a great location.

Staff were super friendly. Place was very well kept. My only complaint was the heating element not working in the hot tub or pool but they were still usable.

We will def be returning to this property. It was exactly what we were looking for great location and family friendly

The location is excellent-about a 20 minute walk to the boardwalk. The beach was beautiful and the Tiki bar on site was awesome. (Limited hours) The facility however needs some work. A fresh coat of paint (everywhere) and cleanliness would make a huge difference for this hotel.

Wonderful experience will stay again
