Great Value - Highly Recommend!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Nov 2024via mobile
We just stayed a week at Beachside and loved it! Sure it’s not new or fancy, there is peeling paint in the elevator and the rooms are a bit tired. But, for less than $100 a night and directly on the beach with a balcony it’s a great bargain! We had excellent customer service from everyone from the manager to housekeeping. Each staff member we met was helpful and nice. Our large room had a full-size fridge and microwave. There was always plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. The pool was pleasantly warm. The hotel is clean for a place right on the beach were there is understandably issues of rust here and there because of the salt water air. Our only small disappointment was the hot tub wasn’t working. Otherwise it was a perfect stay!

Came and stayed here for Thunder Beach rally. I wanted to be away from the center of all the action so I could actually rest. This place didn't disappoint. Older hotel but the rooms are clean, beds comfortable, and great views of the beach. They also have a bar on site.

Beachside Resort is a GREAT place to stay. I called to let them know I would be checking in late, and they were so sweet, telling me not to worry because someone would be there 24 hrs. to assist me. Upon checking in the lady was so sweet and asked us if there was a floor we'd prefer, so we were able to get a room on the 7th floor. Room was exactly what we had reserved and expected for a ocean front room. It was clean, had hand soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers, which was nice! The shower was dripping and we had one little issue with the toilet, but they came and fixed it quickly. I am always honest in my reviews, so here are the only things I would say about the room, the decor is a big outdated and our bed was not the most comfortable thing, but we were able to sleep. The room layout was a bit odd with the sink being right there when you open the door, but functional. When we were checking out the lady asked us how our stay was and if there was anything wrong with the room or anything they could improve on. I was totally impressed with that! It shows they truly care about the guests and the property. We will most defiantly be returning to this location again!

As far, as location, it is on the father end of PCB right out side of Sunny Side and away from the main strip (Front Beach Rd) but not too far of a drive. The only thing we really didn't like about the location was not being able to walk to restaurant's or place, like we have in the past, I like how it felt like we had our own private beach and it was very relaxing.

We had issues on Friday with our delta destination from 7/19/2024 - 7/22/2024 we secured this reservation with Delta. 

I say this with the deepest admiration and respect.

concern— We then went to our Delta Destination Beachside Resort that is a 1 or no star resort, when we discussed the issues, they told us to call Expedia. The issues included unsafe passage to our room on the beachside. Just to mention a few items wrong, dirty, unkept, broken bathroom door, no beach towels, furniture in disrepair and a parking lot that floods when it rains.

There’s more, my goal is to get this addressed and receive credits, compensation, miles and a conversation.

Ps. This was a surprise 37 wedding anniversary that was suppose to be special.
I attached a few pictures, my contact is below. We check out and fly out on this Monday 1/22/204.

We did attempt to leave
However there were no open hotel rooms in a 40 mile radius.

I also have pictures that I will send you.

Respectfully,

Yours in service,

We had a two room balcony room and it was the best place we have ever stayed at in PCB. No waiting on long, slow elevators or walking any significant distance to get into the gulf. It’s right there steps away! Clean, friendly staff, amazing views, affordable pricing

Good Evening,

I am writing this email in the hopes that something can be done about the disrespect and professionalism of the Grill and Bar establishment. Earlier in the day I had an encounter with Alex about smoking. He told us the smoking area was up top. We were outside of the pool area, by the ramp leading to the sand/beach. I went over by the trash can and disposed of my cigarette. I missed the trash can- without realizing. We then proceed to go back to the pool area when Alex came back out and told me he wanted to talk to me. I said, ok. He then says “No! Come up here!” Like I was a child. He said he told us where the smoking area was, and I still proceeded to not listen to him, and that I just tossed my cigarette. He then continued to yell at me. I cut him off and told him I would go pick up my cigarette. I go to pick it up and there was an entire pile there of other cigarettes. So why was he watching me like I am some kind criminal? I will not be disrespected and talked to like I am a child. When you go upstairs there is no visible sign with the designated smoking area. It isn’t until you look all the way around to the back to see where that area is.

Later this evening we go to the bar to get some dinner. We walk in, sit at a table, look at the menu and wait, as the bar tender was taking care of 2 women and a man. In walks a couple with a dog- that was clearly not a service animal and sits down. We have already been sitting for a while. The bar tender then goes over to the couple, chats with them about what they wanted to order, and walks away. I stopped him and asked if we were supposed to order at the bar. He informs us that yes, we are supposed to go to the bar. I then ask him why he didn’t tell us that when he clearly ignored us and went to the couple with the dog. So now, I am being mistreated outside the bar, and inside too? I am here just visiting, haven’t even been here an entire day, and have been disrespected twice. Meanwhile there were 2 females in the pool area vaping, another visitor walking back and forth smoking along the sidewalk, some visitors on the 2nd floor yelling obscenities and saying he has the cocaine ready around everyone there- to include my child. So why are we only targeting me?? I am very upset, and I will not ever visit that establishment. The staff at the hotel has been nothing but accommodating and friendly. My problem is with the alleged GM Alex Manafi. How do you call yourself a manager and you’re treating your patrons that way? Why is he allowed to do this? He could have handled the situation in a much better way. I have never in my life had such an encounter like this with anyone- especially one that is a GM. I was soo upset I went to the front desk to see what I can do about this. One of the ladies at the front desk was very attentive and listened to me, she even acknowledged that she saw us sitting in the bar waiting with no one tending to us. I do realize that this is a tourist area, and this email may or may not go to the right hands. I’m sure this is not Alex’s first time treating people this way, and something needs to be done about it. I am here for 7 days, and I could have gone to a thousand different places, but we chose to be here. Just to be surveilled, harassed and disrespected?? Absolutely unprofessional and uncalled for. As much as I wanted to yell back him and tell him how much of a jerk he is being, I chose to be an adult and walked away. He has ruined my first day here. And I feel embarrassed and demeaned with the way he handled this. Everyone at the bar and the pool could hear him yelling. Completely unacceptable.

I would greatly appreciate a response to this email.

Thank you.
