Yachtsman S805 1 BR

The property was okay. They have two buildings with a glass tower inbetween. The building I stayed in was run down and dirty. The only exterior bathroom was absolutely disgusting. The pools and hot tubs they advertise for were in the other building and shared with the glass tower. There was no activity room or library. The room we had was recently updated which was good but they cut corners during it, paint was splattered everywhere bathroom door didn’t shut all the way and tub jets did not work. The tub was also clogged up. It was nice having a full kitchen however the fridge/freezer has no ice maker. It does have a balcony however it’s not one you can sit on. It’s not even a foot wide. Parking was a little hard. There are two small lots across from the hotel and then a parking garage a little farther. The two lots were hard to identify because the city had parking right next to them. Overall the stay was okay. Good location lots or restaurants, front staff was friendly and right next to the strip. Which my building was cleaner and amenities were all there.

The property is ok a little dated... would have preferred a beachfront balcony. Parking is aggravating and outside pool in the North wing was dirty... but all in all it was ok

It was a good budget option right on the boardwalk. Don't expect anything fancy. The room was dated but had everything you would need. Full kitchen was very nice. Great view of the ocean. Only issues we encountered all weekend were having to get our keys reset (at least 5-6 times) and the elevators breaking. One elevator broke on the first day we were there and was never fixed by the time we left. The other elevator would break once or twice a day for an hour or two each day we were there. I'd recommend getting a lower level room if possible so you aren't stuck walking up 10 flights of stairs. The location is great. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are not dirty. Just not updated. I would probably stay again just for the price and location.

Most hot tubs were out of order. Pools were small. Outdoor lay on chairs were brown and really old. Definitely gave motel vibes. Seemed quiet empty and still got lowest level room. View was completely obstructed. Priced not so reasonably well. Expected more.

The beach view was great but had no balcony opened the door and no where to sit and watch the ocean the parking is two streets over but not bad this is an older hotel

Disappointed. I once owned 3 time shares there and loved it. It hasn’t been kept up. Looks run down. Couldn’t even get in hot tub. It was out of order all week. Pool was supposed to open at 9:00. Was opened at 10:30-11:00 each day. Mold on the ceiling in foyer. Rust and paint peeling on dishwasher. Rust on tub stopper. I usually take baths but not in this tub. Safe didn’t work. It was really sad how run down it was.

Beware the hot tub. We went in 1 time and the chlorine was so strong it completely ruined both of our bathing suits. Location was excellent. Staff was friendly. Accommodations were dated but ok. Building was in rough shape

There was minimal handicapped parking and the only place to park was 2 blocks away in a parking garage with only stairs, no elevator. So if you had a person in your group that needed elevator access this was a big problem. Check in time took forever as they only had one person working on a holiday weekend.

The pool area wasn't the cleans and the pool for kids was close the whole 7 days we where there on both side

Renee the front desk manager is so helpful. Although all swimming pools and hot tubs are never open

The rooms smell so bad and very dirty

room was filthy. mold on ceiling and floors, refrigerator look like a college frat house's refrigerator. linen had stains. needless to say we didn't stay there.

I did not anything about this property, it had black mold in the bathroom wall alone with a hole, the blow dryer caught a fire when turned on, the tub was dirty as well as the carpet,the love seat and the smaller chair in the living room, the racks in the frig was rusted, the phone was not even hooked up and there was a roach. It was nasty nasty

Upon arrival we checked in to the hotel and immediately once going into our room we were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the room. The freezer had brown, rusty stains in it. The mirrors had a lot of streaks and looked unclean. The air conditioner was filthy with dust making the room smell like musk. And the supposed “balcony” was literally 12 inches long in width. You can only step a foot onto it. The couch had brown disgusting stains all over it. And the only working elevator stopped working when we got there causing us to bring our 89 year old elder up four flights of stairs along with all of our belongings. We stayed in the room for no more than 20 minutes before deciding we wanted a leave and get a refund. We paid a travel protection plan and the receptionist told us to call Expedia for a refund and now we received an email saying the manager of Yachtsman hotel is denying our refund. We are completely unsatisfied with the way the hotel has handed the situation and are trying to steal our money for a hotel that we never even stayed in.

The room wasn’t the cleanest and bathroom tub was dirty and moldy.

Very dated property. While room appeared clean, there was rust on many appliances, holes in the furniture, and fraying carpets. The room has a narrow hallway for entry and smelled very musty. Room did have view of ocean and an ocean front restaurant. While location is good we could not stay in this room and booked other accommodations.

Very gross around the property, mold in our room on the ceiling and on the fan. They don't change sheets, bring extra towels or anything. You have to ask for anything additional you need, so not convenient for a long stay. People at the main office aren't friendly and don't care about the moldy rooms, etc. Other people were in the main office complaining about mold in their rooms. Wish the health dept would come visit and see what they think. :) Would NOT recommend.

Amazing location with a great view of the ocean and pier 14. Only complaint is the room was dirty, had not been swept, mopped or vacuumed, mirrors dirty etc. NO BUGS, so that was a huge plus. We would definitely stay again.

The room was spotless. Great location and quiet

Not well kept...pretty dirty and falling apat

For an older building, it was in good shape. 1 thing I did not like was no balcony to sit on. You could open the door and stand but not sit. Had all amenities you will need and great water pressure and very hot water ( after it ran a little bit) Very close to all kinds of food choices. Will definitely stay here again.

Great check in and check out. Perfect location and large enough rooms for our family of 7

Room was clean but a bit outdated. Bed was not comfortable at all. View was beautiful.

The beach view was great but had no balcony opened the door and no where to sit and watch the ocean the parking is two streets over but not bad this is an older hotel

Bed was terrible

Loved the room but the balcony really sucked

Loved the location. The room was clean. The overall facility is pretty dated though. I also loved the view of the ocean. One major complaint is that the balcony is not really a balcony. It is only large enough to open the door and stand there. Literally like a foot on length.

The room we stayed in definitely could use some work. A little noisy at night with the bars next door. Didn't like the fact that there was no balcony sitting facing the ocean. Overall good location, close to shopping, restaurants etc.

The room was a bit cramped but it was a nice room. There was only 3 handicap parking places. The staff was very nice and helpful. The description of the room wasn't clear. The room had a king size bed and then had a pullout double sofa bed, but also had another small room witha set of bunkbeds.

It doesn't have a balcony to sit on, just a stand up but everything else was good

The parking and access to boardwalk and beach was amazing. The customer service rep were also very helpful.

Check in ladies were nice, but property is very old - the elevator acted up a few times. Told some cleaning people we saw, but they ignored our comment. We ended up using the stairs because we were afraid the elevator would malfunction. The phone in room did not work which I had to use my cell phone to call the front desk for extra towels and lady in front desk told me to go to the lobby to get new towels and more toilet paper. I’ve never experienced that before in any hotel. Our room floor was oily and I almost slipped, bed had stains and hair all over it. Extra blankets and pillows in the closet was dirty and had stains. Outside property looked better than inside. It was a ok stay, but very old building and dirty and doesn’t look like they did laundry or change the bedding in our room. Seems like they just made the bed with the same sheets whoever was there before us. Overall, I wouldn’t go back. I’d spend more money on a better, cleaner place.

I was displeased with my check in host. She was giving instructions to multiple families at once whereas it was a confusing check in. Once she handed me my keys and car pass she turned away to talk to another family…. I then asked “where should we park!” She told me “let her finish talking with this family and I will get to that next!” I feel like she should have handled one family at a time and been more pleasant

Great Price! Beautiful Scenery from the oceanside rooms but no balcony. Key Card never worked and had to be escorted every time we left the room. The manager was very apologetic but she was understaffed during busy check-in hours by herself. Made it difficult when we needed to be escorted to get let in. Parking garage was a little sketchy but it worked ok.

Everything was nice and the customer service was great

Great staff

Had issues with type of room received. Manager Joshua very helpful with resolution. Security pwtson Mark also helpful during late night check in

First of all, the view from the room was amazing! I am pretty sure that all rooms have that view. The room was clean, spacious and had a full array of kitchen appliances. The staff are friendly and accommodating. However, my husband is disabled and uses a wheelchair. We booked an “Accessible” room, but there was very little room around the bed for either of us to get in it, and certainly not for his wheelchair, walker or bed rail. We made do with me helping him in and out of bed. The threshold on the room entrance was not accessible in a wheelchair, so we kept a walker by the door so he could get in. Also, the parking lots were not on property, the closest (always full) half a block away, and the next a full block. There were 3 disabled spaces right in front (often full) and about 10 “15 minute” spaces. We used one of those to park when getting my husband in and out of the car with me retrieving/returning the car from one of the lots. The bathroom was not accessible either, but we knew this ahead of time by checking with the hotel and brought our own assistive devices. We didn’t think to ask about the threshold or the space around the bed, since the room was listed as “Accessible”. When I mentioned these problems at checkout to the very nice person at the desk, she said that there were more accessible rooms, but they weren’t aware that we needed one, even though I had asked them about the bathroom at the time I booked. Nice hotel, but not ideal for the disabled.

I was so nervous about booking here due to the reviews but I’m soooo happy we booked. They are currently remodeling the North Tower which is where we stayed. They only had the first 2 floors done and were waiting on furniture for the rest of the units so our room had just been renovated with new appliances and everything. The view was gorgeous, the location was absolutely perfect and the staff went above and beyond anytime we talked to them. We were able to let our 12 & 14 year old go explore the boardwalk by themselves, we just gave them each a gift card upon arrival and told them they could use it for food, souvenirs, arcade etc. so they had fun with the independence. The beach is right there, the pier is seconds away…I just can’t speak highly enough for the location. I would definitely book there again!

The rooms were clean and the check in was good. The key to use to get in the room never worked and always had to go get it redone. At desk services we were told they had to replace the battery and the maintenance guy would come and do that which it never was replaced. The smell of weed was so strong coming in and going out. We had to turn off the air conditioner because when it would come on the smell of weed would fill up our room as if we were smoking. Checking out we informed the lady at the desk about the situation and she said she was sorry but they couldn’t knock on doors and do anything about it. I think if it is against the law I’m sure you could call the police or someone to get them out. Other than those two things it was good.

Place was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Only thing I didn't like was no balcony. Location is very close to the boardwalk and entertainment.

Location is absolutely the best!

Location was perfect right on the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Placed was good does need some upgrades but you can’t beat the price and being right on the beach

Property is showing signs of age, there is parking but is 2 blocks over. The building is not very sound proof you can hear everything. The staff was nice, the view was nice. Convenient to walk to shops and restaurants around the area. It did not smell like weed in our room, but once you stepped outside the door the entire outside of hotel and everywhere you walk in the area in public smells of it coming from people around(just warning you if you have young ones) I’m not blaming the hotel for that.

It was more or lees quiet, the view from the balcony was perfect and overall just nice for the price of the stay, I had no complications in or out and there was so many local things to do nearby, like the board walk, the amusement rides and a ton of other things, great place for a first time stay, would come again.

Great stay, friendly staff, wonderful beach access, beautiful layout and amazing location. One and only drawback is 10am checkout. Just too early. 11:30 should be standard. Overall though, excellent.

Value for money. Amazing beach front view. Steps away from beach. To help others plan better, I would like to mention that they don’t provide beach umbrella, beach chairs or beach toys. Swimming pool is small.

Liked the location

Amazing view! Great dining and attractions nearby! Facilities are dated so the appeal isn’t there from the optics. However, solid stay!

The location of the Yachtsman is ideal. Right on the beach with a phenomenal ocean view. Close to shops, restaurants and rides. Had a great time!

Location is perfect for dining and entertainment

To hear the ocean at night. Nice kitchenette. Walkable to Pier for food or fishing . We booked at last minute getaway. And loved it.

It was right in the middle of everything and the Pier right in front

The location is phenomenal and we loved it. The room was clean, front desk staff were friendly and helpful, we didnb't have any hassles. When a drain clogged in the kitchen, they fixed it right away and we didn't have any more problems with it. Pier 14, a fantastic restaurant, is a 2 minute walk on the beach, Olympic Cafe Pancake House is across the street, gay dolphin 10-min walk, New York Pizza is about the same. The kitchen is fully equipped and we cooked ourselves breakfast most mornings and some terrific dinners most of our evenings. The dining area is spacious for the room, the view is unmatched, and the sleeping comfortable. The place is looking its age though, so there were some permanent stains on the sofa, drawers would get stuck, and so forth. The balcony is alomst non existant--it's basically a ledge with a railing so you don't fall out of the sliding glass door and have a place to hang wet bathing suits and towels. Also, while the room sleeps four, it a little cramped for four people to hang out with luggage and everything else. Still, with good weather, about the only thing we did was eat dinner and sleep in there so it was never a serious issue. But you know what? We paid 54 dollars a night for middle-of-boardwalk-on-the-beach lodgings, and for that, no serious complaints. If you're a budget traveler, this Yachtsman is a fantastic choice. Not sure how long that will last because they are selling units and converting to condo. Get 'em while they last.

It was more or lees quiet, the view from the balcony was perfect and overall just nice for the price of the stay, I had no complications in or out and there was so many local things to do nearby, like the board walk, the amusement rides and a ton of other things, great place for a first time stay, would come again.

There are 2 building with the exact same hotel name, but one is the hotel and one is apartments or something. That was a little confusing. I figured out which building was the correct one by asking someone, but it wasn't obvious where you check in at. Aside from that, the stay was good. The place was clean, if not a little older, and it's right on the beach which was nice. There are some places to eat within walking distance. I'd stay again.

The location of the Yachtsman is ideal. Right on the beach with a phenomenal ocean view. Close to shops, restaurants and rides. Had a great time!

Nice, with excellent location. No restaurant/lounge does detract though.
