    Your experience will depend on what room you get.

    I think we got put in the worst room of the hotel. We were in room 212 which are balcony overlooks the patio of the restaurant. So when you’re sitting out there, you feel like you’re intruding on their meals. Not private at all. There was also a cluster of palm trees that obstructed the view of the beach to some extent, The room was spacious and the bathroom shower was nice. The water from the tap could never get cold. So you had warm or hot water, if you wanted a drink. it was nice having a restaurant in the hotel. They had good food at reasonable prices, but their drinks were very pricey. And the service was very slow, but nice people. This room was also right outside the utility closet for the hotel so the air conditioning was very loud all night long. I did go down to the front desk and ask if they could move us to another room but they couldn’t because the hotel was full. I think we would’ve had a nicer experience if we were not in this room. The hotel had a great location.

    Great location, bartender Schriki , he's great.

    Schikri the bartender is the main reason we continue to choose the Beal House !! Also the restaurant is great and the fact they have a bar and restaurant there is great. Comfy beds and great hospitality. Great location as well. The restaurant is consistently good .

    Newer, clean hotel with a beachy vibe.

    Perfectly new and clean. Loved the beachy themed decor. Very accommodating staff. Oceanfront. Walk right out to the beautiful water and a short walk to the pier. Comfy beds and spacious rooms. Restaurant and bar on site. You won’t want to leave, I didn’t!

    AWFUL!

    Since this hotel is part of the Hilton collection, I thought it would be a pleasant stay. It was one of the worse. Was there 3 nights, floors were never cleaned; the same beach stones were there each day in the same spots; there was mold around the fixtures in the shower. The shower had no shelving to hold toiletries nor did it have appropriate number of safety bars; The handle to turn on the shower head had to be jiggled to get it on full. The toilet seat was loose and I had to request 2 times before someone came to tighten. The pillows were so soft I requested at the front desk if they had featherless pillow. The front desk person looked at me with a blank stare and said she would check. Never got an answer and no new pillows in my room; next morning a different person, also didn't know and she would check; when I returned later in the day I had 2 better pillows. Neither of the front desk persons looked up and greeted me when I had approached the desk. This was typical of most of the staff. The coffee pot overflowed the first morning; so we stopped using it. My daughter found out in the morning you could get coffee near the reception desk; however the last morning we were there, that coffee service was gone; the front desk told her Beal's contract with Starbucks was over. When she asked if she could get courtesy coffee in the restaurant, she was told she'd have to pay for it. The restaurant was terrible. As we were traveling on a bus tour, a special breakfast menu was set up for us; however, the kitchen staff was so overwhelmed that our food was lukewarm to cold; the home fries were so thin and burnt, you could hardly cut them and when I tasted them, it was a grease ball, that I had to spit it out. Once your order was taken, it was 15-30 minutes before your plate was put in front of you. The bartenders were sociable, but we found it difficult to identify any alcohol in our cocktails.
