Beachside Resort Hotel
5/5 Excellent
"This was an amazing location! Right across from the beach, so you don’t have to pay for parking. Many restaurants are close by, and the staff were very friendly! We had an amazing trip and enjoyed every minute!"
A verified traveler stayed at Beachside Resort Hotel
"We enjoyed everything about our stay. Check in was quick and easy and the front desk receptionist was very friendly. The room was clean, spacious (2br suite with kitchen) and exceeded our expectations. There were restaurants right in front of the hotel, staying on the beach wasn’t a must for us, so this stay worked out perfectly. Even my kids who don’t care about hotels asked me to make sure I left 5-stars. We would definitely return. "

"Never stay at Microtel. I was surprised how nice it was. The only thing I didn’t like was it was hard to get into the hotel. It had a weird entrance!"

Clean and Comfortable
"We had a great stay! The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean. I loved that they provided dove body wash, and the continental breakfast was satisfying. There were muffins, eggs, both pork and turkey sausage, biscuits, oatmeal, cereals, and a pancake oven on offer each morninh along with coffee and 3 types of juice. Definitely planning to stay here again for next year's vacation."
