• Proximity to the beach and access to the beach.
• A little noisy at night.

• A fantastic, flawless beach.
• No wireless internet, but I got a signal from adjacent hotel.

“It is the type of place where carloads of single women show up on Friday night, get drunk, do things they would not do back home and leave with a hangover on Sunday afternoon. Not bad if you like that sort of thing.”

• Couldn't have asked for more. We shall return. But the front desk is in need of a tiny face lift. Once past the front desk, we were very impressed.
• Outdated office furniture and floor carpet in the front desk. Also, too little soft music from the live bands at the hotel bar.

“We had every possible need catered to. The beach was a few yards from our room, the pool had a very low to a deep water range appropriate for 5 year olds and adults alike, there was a hotel bar with live music which played all day long and which served drinks to guests in the pool, there were European style food cafes for morning and mid day meals across the street from the hotel, there was a seven eleven across the street and a gift shop next to it with more items than a grocery store, a McDonalds a few streets away and were centrally located to go to the downtown area for entertainment such as the pier, museum, dolphin viewing cruises, etc. Great vacation.”

• Great view of the ocean.
• It could use a makeover.

“Hotel is in need of a makeover, but the location and price was worth it.”

• Good location; on the beach.
• Room was dated. Needs to make it more modern.

“A reasonably nice hotel on the beach. It has a good location and ideal for kids.”

• House keeping did a great job. Front desk very friendly.
• Bar/Food staff very unfriendly. Hotel old, needs maintenance.

“The landscaping was wonderful, front desk friendly, and housekeeping. The hotel parking is terrible down a narrow one lane alley. Its a very old building in need of much maintenance. Their indoor food locations allowed full smoking despite FL being a smoke free state. The wait and bar staff were very unfriendly and twice drove away our business. This hotel does not deserve 2 1/2 stars, it is far below that. Romance at this place, no way. Never did we feel pampered nor really romantic here.”

• The lawn.
• The room and pool.

“The overall outside look was very nice. The room smelled bad, the pool water level was low causing the filter system not to work for four days.”

• I liked being close to the beach.
• Overcharging for beach chairs and umbrellas.

“This hotel was good as far as what we needed it for. We spent most our time away from the room. The beach was close by, staff was friendly and informative. The music at night was great.”

• Convenient access to the beach.
• Parking was extremely tight!

“This hotel does not have enough parking and you have to back out to get out of the sides parking lot.”

• Location.
• Old, rooms need upgrading.

“The hotel is in a good location right on the beach which is a big plus for us. It has a nice courtyard, is fairly clean but needs upgrading.”

• Jimmy B's Beach bar had a great atmosphere and it was easy to enjoy.
• The bathroom was small and the room had a faint smell I couldn't recognize.

“Upon arrival at the Beachcomber, the staff was quick and friendly- we were able to get to our room in no time. The housekeepers were always concerned about the cleanliness of the room and of anything we needed. The courtyard area was well taken care of as well as the pool areas. The hotel is a casual place to stay, close to convince stores and restaurants. Would stay here again.”

• It is located on the beach.
• A lot of rowdy parties at the hotel.

“We were given rooms you had to walk up a flight of stairs with your luggage. My mother had trouble with the stairs and we had to switch her room downstairs. Next door was a party which was very noisy. People had luggage on the lawn, the pool was dirty. Parking was difficult on the weekend.”

• Common area is relaxing with beautiful trees and shrubs and nearby beach.
• The room was short on amenities and very old looking. Too much light in room while sleeping.

“Good family type place for those on a economy budget. Many stores and restaurants nearby on a busy street. The on-site entertainment is a plus for those liking diversions without driving your car. Beach on site is a big plus.”

• Private beach access, outdoor live music and fun atmosphere, clean and friendly staff.
• Nothing comes to mind except parking on the side of the building.

“This hotel should be described as a resort. I would stay longer next time. It was the best hotel that we stayed at while visiting Florida. This hotel is a must if traveling with children and is just as much fun for adults.”

• Beach access.
• Took almost 1 hour to check in (nobody else there!).

“We reserved 5 rooms, 2 of the rooms arrived later than us and they only gave them 1 room for 5 large, tall people. Not very professional. Room not very clean, toothpaste in sink, bed linens wrinkled and not crisp. Good location.”

• Have all the features we want.
• Parking spaces are very tight.

“This hotel is located directly on the beach. There are 2 heated pools and an inside bar & a beach bar with daily entertainment. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Our room was efficiency with a separate equipped kitchenette. It was spacious with a walk in closet and all the amenities including a safe, clock, hairdryer, iron/board and free wifi. It was a very enjoyable "pre Christmas" holiday.”

• Nothing.
• Rundown rooms, furniture, this should be called a motel.

“Poor room quality, with dated furniture and bathroom. Needs some serious updating. Should be rated as a one star or no star hotel/motel.”
