At least it was on the beach…

There were extra charges that were not listed prior to booking. We could not enjoy sitting on our balcony or leaving the balcony door open from the constant aroma of marijuana being smoked by guests and staff alike. Roaches and bedbugs were running amuck. The stove and microwave did not work. No hot water in the kitchen sink. The elevators did not work half of the time. The floors were filthy and left our feet black when walking barefoot. On several occasions, workers from the third floor renovation were blocking the stairs and were rude and extremely lewd. Overall, the only good thing about the hotel was the location to the beach.

The staff at the beachcomber was excellent. They went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The property itself had nice sized rooms and was clean. However, the coffee pot did not work and there was no remote for the TV. The bathroom door did not shut or lock. The few things that were wrong with the room would not deter me from staying there again.
