Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, A By The Sea Resort

“Budget friendly sorta”

Parking to check-in was difficult. Loading and unloading all must be done in the portico(overhang) along with everyone coming or going UNLESS you were lucky enough to get a spot right in the front of the hotel which was very hard to do.

Parking to check-in was difficult. Loading and unloading all must be done in the portico(overhang) along with everyone coming or going UNLESS you were lucky enough to get a spot right in the front of the hotel which was very hard to do. So most of the time we had to park across the street. That was not too bad if you were not checking in/out. There is a pedestrian crosswalk right there. Rooms, building, elevators, beds, and grounds were clean. Room could use a few upgrades and a paint job but still ok. Biggest complaint is the access to the beach. Only way down to the beach was through the pool area. To get to said pool area, large set of steep stairs! Then head past pool to gate where there was yet another set of steep stairs. Pulling a loaded wagon was awful!!! Once on the beach, chairs and umbrellas that you have to rent, of course get the premium spots. Pool on the small size and of course fills up quickly with unsupervised children being children. Hot tub small and filled with said children and no bubbles or jets, just hot water.

3 out of 5 stars!! Came down for a quick getaway. Stayed 2 nights, originally booked a King handicap accessible room. When we arrived, we were told that the King ADA rooms were being remodeled, so we were upgraded to a King room with a Jacuzzi tub. This room met our needs, my wheelchair bound spouse was able to maneuver himself in and out of the Jacuzzi and really enjoyed being able to soak. However, the first morning we wake up at the hotel, I get a call from the front desk stating that the room we were currently in was reserved for the night and we would have to swap rooms!! Very frustrating!! We were moved to a king ADA room, which is what we had originally booked but was told was unavailable! Once we got moved, the room was good. Another thing that was disappointing is that the handicapped lifts for the pool and hot tub were not functioning!! So my husband did not get to enjoy either of them. Hotels should really be forced to follow laws for making their facilities ADA compliant. Having the equipment there with wires cut and parts missing is not compliant!! Also, I did go down to the hot tub one evening, although the temperature was good, the hot tub was not functioning correctly. The jets did not work, nor did the filter. The water was full of leaves, sand and even some trash. Overall the room was fine and the staff was very friendly, however we do not plan to stay here again. If the pool and hot tub lifts were fixed and the hot tub was repaired, we would love to stay again. Sad that we probably wont.
