Beachcomber Motel

Lovely location, but I came home with bed bugs, so never again.

Edit: This is what I emailed to management, following their response below:

We stayed in room 301 from Friday, July 4 through Sunday, July 6. I did not see bed bugs but I received bites while staying in your establishment. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, I assumed I had been bitten by something at the beach and shrugged it off. However, upon returning home, this morning I woke up with 4 new bites that are in the classic "bed bug" line pattern, and a 5-star pest control service in my area has confirmed that they appear to be bed bug bites. I am having my home professionally treated by an exterminator on Monday, and then retreated in two weeks. I have never had any vermin infestation in my life, and I lived in New York City for 4 years. Attached are photographs of the bites, which I have added to my review, and my invoice for the pest control service. As you can see from my review history, I do not make spurious accusations.

Update 8/10: a certified bed-bug sniffing dog just confirmed that I do still have an isolated bed bug infestation following two pesticide treatments. The Beachcomber maintains that their exterminator found no bugs in the room I stayed in, but I didn't have an infestation before staying there, and I do now. Draw your own conclusions. I will be having the area steam cleaned tomorrow, and my total expenses for dealing with this issue are going to exceed $5,000. The Beachcomber has admitted no liability, nor refunded the cost of my stay. Lesson learned: don't skimp on the hotel!

Tbh, I enjoy the closeness to the beach, and I also appreciate the clean room as most motels have bedbugs there is even a TV and two beds parking lot is small but fine, and when we came back they organized everything they folded our blanket we brought and clothes and towels brought fresh one to.

We stayed here for a weekend. I’ve seen mixed reviews online. Here’s what I can tell you. The parking lot is smaller, but I was told in the lobby it’s enough for one car per room. Which was suitable for us. When we were given our room key, it was to a room that had already been assigned to someone. While, everyone involved was understanding about it, this could’ve been a large safety issue. There is an elevator to get to the upper floors, however, it’s very slow and it’s faster tenfold to take the stairs. When we arrived to our room, it was very specious, but it did have a musty smell. Upon further inspection, our A/C unit had black mold. I did my best to clean it up, however, housekeeping should pay better attention to those small details. The A/C kept up with our room fine because we kept the curtains closed and turned the air down to a lower temperature. The layout of the room does put the dining table in front of the A/C unit, so we moved the table to allow the air to disperse throughout the room. The dining room chairs still had food crumbs and looked as though they had not been wiped down. The remainder of the room was clean. The bed and sheets were very crisp and white. The bathroom is small. Only one person can use it at a time, however, this isn’t a huge deal because the mirror and sink are in a separate area from the toilet and shower (bathroom). There wasn’t many toiletries besides toilet paper and hand soap. This was fine except that we were planning to use the kitchenette and there’s no dish soap provided. The location is great because it’s right on the beach. All the staff was friendly and housekeeping checked on us to make sure we had enough towels. There are some amenities besides being beachfront, there’s a TV with xfinity and an outdoor pool. The pool was very clean. Would I stay here again, yes, BUT they need to get the mold under control in these rooms. My allergies were driving me crazy - sneezing, watery eyes, coughing etc. It may be an older building, but it’s been taken care of. With a little TLC it could be better.
