Beachview Inn

I quite enjoyed my stay here. Myself 4 other ladies went down for a weekend away. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite, and got a roll-​away bed for the 5^th girl. The room was very spacious. The bathroom was tight… but that wasn’t a big deal. We had an amazing view of the beach, which was literally right across the street. We arrived pretty late (130am) and there was still someone at the check-​in desk to greet us. She gave us tons of pamphlets and cards that would get us free food, drinks and cab rides. Great location, walking distance to most of the strip (food, shops, beach etc). If walking a mile either way from the hotel is too much for you, than maybe its better if you call a FREE cab!
As for the beach, I am not one to be out in the direct sun, so the cabana/​umbrella rentals were a lifesaver. $ 30 for the whole day, and it gets cheaper after certain times. Public bathrooms right on the beach, food and liquor stores everywhere!
You want the bad stuff? The elevator is hot and slow (not a big deal). There are plenty of staircases. The towels are kind of dingy (If you have something against towels). You have a huge window right in front of your bed, where people can see in, but that’s why there is a giant curtain you can close.
Overall, its worth the price… I mean, who goes to the beach to stay in the room? Definitely coming back. Not giving 5 stars, just because its not as good as it gets (the hyatt or Opal sands next door probably is) but this place is the best you’re going to get if you don’t have Hyatt/​opal sands money!

Very disappointed :(We stayed in a standard suite on the fourth floor. The building is poorly designed and the walkway to the rooms are on the parimeter directly in front of the windows. So you could not enjoy any views without passers-​by pearing into your room. Those rooms share an entrance cubby with 4 other units & you could hear the comings & goings of the other units throughout the night. Doors slaming, people talking. The walls are thin & we had a loud group across from us. The only thing to muffle the noise was the air conditioning. The décor was old & outdated. The vent in the bathroom didn’t work. There was only one set of towels, and only 1 chair in our very tiny room with no table. For any privacy at all we had to keep the drapes closed and could not enjoy any views. I felt like a caged animal on display at a zoo. There is only one tiny elevator and it is unvented without exhaust.

An unbearably loud repair job was going on above my room when I checked in at 3:00. Let it go on for ten or so minutes and then went to the front desk. They were totally rude saying they needed to check it out, obviously knowing full well what was being done. Noise went on for another 20 minutes. But the worst was being woken at 7:50 a/​m to the same sounds. They didn’t seen to care a bit how this was effecting their guest. I wouldn’t stay here as there are lots of options nearby.

Better than I expected. I would come here again simply because of the location. It is within walking distance to everything. If you are use to 4−5star resort style accommodations than this will not be for you. But it was a good experience for me. Will come again.

My boyfriend and I had the best experience here. Clean, great location, Amazing view from our room, insanely low price for the quality we got, and the front desk staff were so sweet and helpful! We asked about staying an extra night past our check out date and the receptionist went out of her way to fit us in our room for another night. We will definitely be back here next time!

stayed in one of the apartment rooms on the ground floor. nice setup in the apartment, had bowls, utensils available and two new tvs. its a great location next to the hyatt and it includes a parking pass for one car. The staff are nice but seem overworked and tired. I wish the towels were better quality; i could tell they were cheap and they weren’t able to keep me dry after a shower. i would stay again, perhaps improve the continental breakfast and the towel selection.

If you are looking for a clean room with an ocean view at a great price then this is the place. The rooms are updated with a small kitchenette and an even smaller bathroom. The beds were comfy and waking up looking at the ocean was great. Our suite included a dinette and sofa; the room was spacious with a small balcony that overlooks the pool. The location is perfect, directly across from the beach and easy walking distance to lots of activities. The employees were also friendly and helpful. When booking the room I specifically asked about any construction at the hotel and was told it would be completed weeks prior to my arrival. This ended up not being the case, the pool was closed for the entire week and the parking lot was seal coated, leaving limited, tight parking spots, walkways roped off and very limited access to enter the building. When we left the hotel, construction was in full swing here and throughout much of the area.

The Beachview has improved by a factor of about 10x since the last time we stayed here. Almost all newly renovated with more updates to come. Very friendly and helpful staff. The PERFECT location for the price. I mean it’s almost unreal. I would totally suggest staying here now. About a year ago maybe not so much.

I would prefer to not have given them a star at all but Unilocal requires at least one. I stayed at this hotel two nights with my boyfriend and deeply regret it. The first night was ok but the second morning was horrible. My boyfriend and I were leaving to go to the beach and he noticed two male housekeepers watching us through the our balcony window. We stayed on the 5^th floor. They only have cameras by the stair cases and don’t have the security system that clocks the keys when they enter any room. So the guys used this to their advantage. I thought my boyfriend was paranoid. Unfortunately he wasn’t and 1500 had been taken from his bag. There was no forced entry and they only went through his bag as though they had seen where his money had been placed. Yes he should have used the safe but to be violated like this on vacation was horrible! So we immediately went to tell the manager. Mr. David. Who seemed very nonchalant and unsympathetic. He wasn’t accommodating enough and sorta hung in the background. I got feed up and told him about his poor manager skills and demanding a full refund. Which he did comply. Long story short if you can afford to stay at a 3* and up hotel. This place is fully deserving of their 2* rating! There is an ongoing investigation going on but other workers assured me Mr. David wasn’t going to terminate the suspects.

i only downloaded Unilocal app to review how bad this room was. room was not cleaned properly. sheets were sandy and made poorly. lights in bathroom were blown out. blood stains on walls. did not look like pictures. didnt have an extra roll out bed when they booked me a single instead of double. pool was being REMODELED and was not informed about it til i arrived. wifi didnt work!!! very unhappy for $ 30 more i could have stayed at a lot nicer place. GOOD VIEW im scared to see what the breakfast will be.

The Beachview Inn is a decent hotel. It is ocean front with no high rise blocking the view. It is within walking distance to a couple of resturants. The front desk staff was very friendly. I called to make a reservation because they offer discounts when you make reservations by phone. The staff member that I spoke to on the phone is who checked us in and she remembered me. The front desk staff was helpful during numerous occasions. The Beachview is an older hotel but they are currently renovating. The room we stayed in was in desperate need of updating but it was a good size room with a beautiful view. It will be interesting to see what updates are done to this hotel. The entrance to the parking lot is NOT in the front on Gulfview, it is in the back off of Coronado. The balcony was large but the railing was a little loose and needed to be secured. I would stay here again after the renovation is complete. Overall it was a nice relaxing getaway.

Been to the Beachview Inn 4 times now. Our room has always been very clean! We’ve stayed in the queen suite ocean view on our first 2 visits, and on our most recent 2 visits we stayed in the queen efficiency pool view rooms. (Love the pool) They’ve updated their ice machines, and have them in very convenient locations. The view from the 3 floor and up is absolutely breathtaking! In less than 3 minutes we are on the beach.
Crabby’s is right next door, and they have great drink with wicked awesome mahi mahi tacos. The BeachView Inn could improve on their continental breakfast, and that’s why I’ve given them 4 stars.
We will continue to go back and stay here.

Good location. The room is small and in the 1980 cheap motel. You can hear the pluming from other rooms. I didn’t even check out the breakfast room. Front office entrance is in progress of remodeling.

Decent value for the price: after reading other reviews, we booked a suite (with ocean view) rather than the smaller room that face towards the east. Very sizable room, decently outfitted with nice sheets, towels, small kitchenette, balcony with chairs overlooking the walkway, «drag», and beach. Clean, no bugs. A/​C quiet. GREAT location, including the very entertaining view of life passing by on the street below. We will return. Agreed: the breakfast is pretty lame – oddly-​packaged cereal, bad coffee in styrofoam cups, sweetened yogurt, processed pastries, jailkeeper to make sure you don’t take any food with you. But there’s a McDonalds almost next door for good coffee.

This will be mine and my husbands third year staying in a king bed suite, on the fifth floor. Love the location and newly painted rooms. The beds and the breakfast could be better, but I haven’t found a hotel with cheaper rates and a better location.

If u like crawling little bugs, layers upon layers of paint covering up dirt, filthy carpet, dingy breakfast port hole, and holes in the fabric of chairs and curtains, then you’ve found your place!
The staff is super nice, when you check out, they surprise you with «I have just one charge for you, $ 10 for parking.» All said with a smile, of course.
Definitely a place I’ll remember.
I would suggest getting drunk next door bef you check in.

A bit pricey for what it is, but you are paying for the location, which is perfect. Parking is limited, and you only get one spot per room. We booked a ‘suite’ which accommodated six, yet we only got one parking pass. The hotel is old and could use an update. Everything in the room was just average, beds, furniture, the box TV… but it was spacious and offered nice views.
Breakfast was poor. I’d rather have gone to McDonald’s next door.
Book it if you want to stay on the beach and not pay a Hilton/​Hyatt price.

I knew what to expect when we booked it! I paid to stay here because of vicinity to the beach! The continental breakfast had the typical stuff cereal and muffins. I was extremely satisfied with my stay, I would rather pay to stay here than pay double to stay at the Hyatt and get no view of the ocean at all!

Very expensive very old. We had to sign an agreement not to have a party, excess drinking, or loud noise. A very loud party was allowed at the pool until well after 1am. The next morning when I asked why was it allowed the clerks reply. Oh we can’t hear anything from our office. You should of called us we would have called the police. Just a junk hotel, junk towels, junk soap, junk shampoo, one pod coffee machine with only one pod of coffee. And the machine was broke. Don’t even get me started on the breakfast. We went and purchased breakfast.

The hotel is centrally located — across the street from the beach. We had a deluxe king suite on the fourth floor. BEAUTIFUL ocean view sunsets. Room had two tvs (one flat screen), a couch, dining table, kitchenette and king bed. For the price and location I thought it was a good deal. Downsides — as mentioned below, they do not let you take breakfast out of the breakfast room. Also, you have to pay for parking and for wireless internet. Other than those things, we were satisfied with our stay and appreciated the space in the hotel suite.
