Beach Street Inn and Suites

Waiting in line for coffee was an annoyance but still didn’t diminish the luxury feel of my stay. The largest inconvenience was the gates after 10. My first time someone was waiting there right away, but the second time I had to exit my vehicle and call from the buzzer to no answer. I only got voicemail. Eventually got in, but I was very uncomfortable in that dark area by myself, and it took long enough for someone else to pull in behind me. I appreciated the super convenient filtered water and laundry amenities that I wish were standard everywhere. I asked for a printed receipt, but their printer was down and they assured me I’d get an email, which I haven’t. Trip.com does not seem to have registered that I completed my stay, so there is something iffy among their booking and trip.com’s ledger.

The hotel is generally very good, clean and smells good, but sometimes there are some strange people near the hotel, probably because of the city, and the internet speed is quite satisfactory. Not very fast

The sea view room is facing the pier. You can see the sunrise from the room. You can also walk a few hundred meters to the pier to see the unobstructed sunrise. The view is first-class.

We had a really nice time at the resort. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food and service at the restaurant is excellent. The beds are very comfy and the resort is very quiet. My only critical feedback is that despite some new construction on the rooms, there were no large lights in the closet, we literally had to use our phone flashlights to see anything, the bathrooms are really small and are only equipped with minimal towels, and it’s a bit difficult and awkward to request a room refresh and clean towels.

This is a modest old motel which is perfectly fine for a short stay because the location is EXCELLENT--literally a 3 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Wharf and to cafes and 5 minutes to the Boardwalk. We also loved the free parking as we didn't have to move the car for two days--which was a big point in making our trip so relaxing. Our room also had a great view of the water and palm trees. Yes, the rooms are showing their age, but we also had a microwave and refrigerator and bit TV and lots of hot water. What more could we want! Bonus points for Las Palmas Tacos across the street with great Mexican food for breakfast and lunch.

The front desk staff are very proactive, kind, and extremely responsive. Their customer service is outstanding. They went above and beyond to help me enjoy my stay. The hotel amenities are exactly what I was looking for. It’s a nice place to stay with the family because of updated kitchen and cleanliness.
