We called the wrong number to book a room and when we realized our mistake 20 minutes later, they wouldn't let us cancel our reservation. So...since we had spent $170+ for one night in this dump, we went anyway. The place is older, though there are renovation supplies everywhere. Our room was not nearly clean enough and our bed was...

This was the worst place ever! Stayed with my girlfriend on Memorial Weekend. Floor was so wet the carpet squished when we walked on it and it stank. Complained and received no service. Went back and complained again and this time they came up with towels and tried to mop up as much as possible and left fan running, assuring... More

Upon our arrival I found the hotel to be as expected, older and budget. It was accross the street from the beach, but the access was easy. It was a bit irritating at check in as a child was playing behind the counter and distracting. The first room we were placed into was a majoy disappointment. While supposed to be... More

The Beachside is NOT on the beach, nor does it have its own access to the beach. Our first room neither the air conditioning nor the refrigerator worked. The second room featured sandy floors, peeling paint and very hard mattresses. When I went downstairs looking for the nonexistent ice machine, the lobby was under water from an over flowing toilet.... More

This place possesses an amazing value, with outstanding customer service. Each and every person that we encountered at the front desk was respectful, courteous, and informative. The maintenance personnel was awesome as well, and they were very expedient in handling our personal needs. We had an issue with the water heat that our shower was producing, and we had an... More

When we booked this hotel we were aware that it was spring break, however, when we found lots of beer cans all around our car and the parking lot, throw-up in the stairways, etc. in the morning, the staff just replied - "well, it is spring break." The hotel could be a first class operation, but apparently they really do... More

The proximity to the beach is wonderful. I expected a little more since it is located in a tourist hot spot. The room was very clean, but smelled of cigar smoke. The bathroom looked to have been completely renovated. I think the little restaurant was great...good Mexican food. I feel if they would change the room decor and add air... More
