We traveled to the Beachcomber by the Sea Feb 1 - 5, 2012 to visit relatives also staying there. After having read reviews of this hotel on tripadvisor I was very afraid of what we would find. While this is not the newest nor the fanciest place on the beach we were very happy with our choice and our stay... More

This is our third stay here. Their prices are competitive. November 2010- (1 week) Our first stay was OK ...no complaints except that the room had an odor. October 2011- (2 weeks) Our second stay was OK, but this time the room odor was worse. But for the price we bought Febreeze and the odor was gone. We also noticed... More

We had read some bad reviews about this place after we had booked it but was pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was. This is no fancy joint and we were really not expecting it to be so but what it was, was exactly what we wanted; a clean comfortable room with adequate facilities, no parking problems, a place...

My husband and infant son stayed at this hotel and it was great. The kitchenette was very useful since my son was so young. We had great views of the beach and it was right outside, we were able to walk and swim very easily every day. The hotel has a great location because we were farther away from the... More

We got a pretty good rate here compared to other hotels that we were looking at, but once we got there we realized why - rooms were very dated and super small. Think Super 8, 1995. We didn't see any bugs like a lot of others are mentioning, but I'm not surprised. Customer service wasn't great, wasn't bad. I wouldn't... More

We stayed here on 09/23/2011, we went to a concert in Frank Brown park and when we returned to the room tired hungry and ready to go to bed, we were greeted by roaches. We decided to stay and hope it was just a stray few bugs that maybe someone brought with them when they stayed here before us. When... More

The staff members were very helpful and friendly. They allowed us a late checkout, held our luggage safely, printed our boarding passes for our flight home, and recommended a good place to eat that was nearby. The hotel itself seems a little rundown, but clean. Being right on the Gulf with the constant salt air blowing is bound to cause... More
