Besides the regular damage caused by by the salty air the door handle was tricky to open at times due to the rust. The paint on the ceiling was concerning for a while wasn’t sure if it was water filled or just an air bubble. Didn’t leak on my head since it was above the pillows. Staff was helpful and informative.

The location is GREAT! It is a simple, older beachside motel and you shouldn’t book this one for the flashy amenities- because there aren’t any. BUT the parking was plentiful and easy to use, the walk to the beach was only a few minutes, I felt safe the entire time and the employees are wonderful! The full size fridge in the room was great, too!

A few tips that made our stay better - there is very limited drawer or storage space in the room so we grabbed hangers at Walmart and that helped a ton! Our room only had a single hanger when we checked in
Also - there is only 1 ice machine for the entire property and you cannot fill coolers. We grabbed some ice trays and made ice in our room freezer and that worked great!
Overall it was a great stay and I would go again!

1st. Check in time is 4. We arrive in town with time to kill, so we did arrived at the hotel right at 4, (after receiving 2 emails from the hotel stating they were excited about our arrival) only to be told, they did not have any of the rooms ready because of a staffing issue. No offer for compensation, no offer of apology, just a we will take your info and call you when its ready. By 630 no call, I call 4 times, no answer. I return to the hotel. Again no apology,no compensation, just yes your room is ready, I asked for a later check out time and they could not due that due to policy and bookings.
2nd. Arrive to the room its cleanish but the floor is damp and linens feel damp, its the humidity. The AC is running but not really working to pull the humidity from the room. It is apparently a big enough problem that the metal surfaces in the room are all rusty.
3rd. Moldy shower, sandy floors, and used soap left in the bathroom area. 4th. 4 towels/2 wash clothes for a room that holds 6 people.
5th. TV remote was broken, held together with tape and will not turn off the TV or control the volume only change the channels. Lucky we weren't there for TV watching but it was on when we arrived to the room.
6th. Pool was clean but it poor shape, no towels or shade covers in pool area and the the surface needed resurfacing. Rusting around the handrails

Only positive, its very close to the beach without being right on the beach.

Other than the location across the road from the beach, this place is a joke. Very run down. Rusted out lights, moldy bathroom, stained towels, icky microwave. I know other beach locations are more expensive but this can't be considered good value. I'd rather not go to the beach than pay $170/night for this, and I'm a beach junkie.

Our stay here went well. When checking in, I thought the staff was slow and a little rude but maybe it was just the day because they were great for the rest of our stay. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because when the name of the hotel is Beachside, I expected it to be just that. It was not right on the Beach, We had to cross a busy road to get to the beach. It was a short walk to the beach though and we did enjoy our stay.

Hotel was clean and for the price, better than expected. It was noisy and parts of the room were falling apart. For example, the bathroom door lock didn't work. The towel holders were gone and with being next to the beach, it would have been nice to have extra places to hang clothes. But the cleaning team was really nice and super helpful. They worked around our schedule. The front desk lady was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the pool and the ice cream parlour onsite. Overall, it was worth the price and we would stay again.

The room was decent, very outdated and small. The hallway/walkway was full of cigarette butts. Staff brought fresh towels daily and changed trashed but only swept the floor maybe once during our stay, which was kinda aggravating since sand was everywhere and there was no way to keep floors clean. But the short walk to the beach was nice and convenient and the location to restaurants and shopping was also nice.

It was a convenient location for beach access. The room was not very clean and housekeeping didn’t do anything but take the trash out during our stay. No clean towels, no bedding refresh, nothing besides the trash so that wasn’t ideal.

They had people putting furniture together in the lobby. Refrigerators in the lobby in boxes waiting to go to rooms. The hostess desk were make shift desk not real hostess area just open to the lobby. The pool was on the 3rd flood which did not look very safe or clean. Hostess was not very friendly. Elevators were nasty. The Tv in our room barely worked. It was a last minute booking on a holiday weekend & will definitely never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

I’m not trying to be rude, but I wanted to leave honest feedback in hopes that it helps improve future guests’ experiences. Unfortunately, the staff was extremely rude and unprofessional during my stay, which made me feel unwelcome.

The hotel also was not as nice as it appeared in the advertised photos. The rooms and overall property did not match the expectations set by the pictures online.

Another issue was the shower design. The shower is built in a way that causes water to spill out and flood much of the bathroom floor during normal use, which was frustrating and inconvenient.

I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I believe addressing these issues could greatly improve the experience for future guests.

Reception was one of the worst I have experienced, but maybe they did their best. Felt unwelcome which doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it matters. Ice cream on the property was 2 dips for 15.96! Each side of our two doubles was caved in. The tub didn’t drain. This became gross. Nice fridge, maids were helpful with towels, TV worked. There was no working Internet. The location is across from beach. Bring a cot for persons 3 and 4 if you need the location to be close to beach. Put your own ice cream in freezer, and brace yourself for front desk. Rained / double red flags for ocean/could only sit by beach for 3 days. Was okay.

I’m not really sure where to start.. when we arrived we were greeted and checked in although it was a bit discombobulated. We got to our room and there were gaps around the door that we later discovered also let the rain in through the cracks. There were also what appeared to be burn holes in the bedding.
There is zero noise control in the room. We could hear people having conversations down in the parking lot from inside the room with the door closed (we were on the 4th floor). We understand the staff cannot control this, but just be aware that it is noisy. The time we did complain was when a group of rowdy children woke us up each morning before 6:30am by screaming and knocking on our door. The solution to this was to loudly tell the children to go back to their room which did nothing to stop them.
The elevator was very damp each time we used it and had a large potential to be a slipping hazard.
There was mold in the shower area and several areas of water damage on the ceiling as well.

The positive is that it is close to the beach access and the ice cream parlor on the property was delicious.
I can’t say we would ever stay here again. We were pretty disappointed to say the least.
