Fountain Beach Resort

I would not stay here again. Room and hotel are seriously outdated. Sign inside elevator said: “Front desk will Never call your room to confirm your credit card information” so I assume that has been an issue. First full day there they turned off water for scheduled maintenance for 3 hours. Next day, a sign said the following week water would be off from 9 to 6. In general, hotel just left me feeling dirty. Paint/pieces of wall were flaking, tv would not turn off, maid came one time the entire 6 days we were there. Shower vent had stuff growing out of it.

We live about an hour north and were in town for a 24 hour race at the speedway up the road. I knew this was an older motel and that the rooms are individually owned. My expectations were so-so. I was way wrong. First off, before we even got there the assistance we got at the desk was great. I think the same lady checked us in as she was the same kind of friendly. The lobby is actually quite nice. Not super fancy, but nice and bright. The Tiki bar out back was also nicer than I expected. It's January so not a good day for the pool, but it looks like a great place to hang when it's a bit warmer. It's right on the beach. The hotel was full so we couldn't check in early. They were happy to give us a parking pass so we could leave the car there. Once we got back to from the race that night, check in was no problem (desk is staffed 24 hours). The room was a lot nicer than I'd expected. It seems we got a suite and it was really furnished nicely. I think the individual owners furnish their rooms so some may not be as nice, but ours sure was. There was even a little kitchenette in one of the rooms and the master bath had a whirpool tub. The 2 decks offered ocean views. We were closer to the road, but still close enough for a decent view and could hear the waves. Don't expect a fancy modern place like a Hilton, but if you like the older, unique stuff with a little nostalgia like me, give this place a shot. I'll be back once it warms up with my girl. Our fav motel in the area was sold and is now awful, so we needed another quick getaway spot. I think we found it here.

Booked 2 rooms, one room my son stayed in and had no issues. My daughter and I was in room 327. It was German roach infested. In several different areas throughout the room I saw these little roaches crawling on our belongings and throughout the room. Unfortunately before I saw the roaches we had decided to sign up for a 2nd night stay and we didn’t change rooms the night they were spotted because my daughter had already dozed off to sleep. The next morning I went to the desk and showed the receptionist the pics and videos I had of the roaches and she switched our room for the 2nd night to room 415. Upon entering that room we noticed the air conditioner was down to 63 and pretty cold in the room but it did seem liken a nicer room. We turned the air conditioner up to 73, and as the day progressed condensation started appearing on the floors and everything was getting damp and wet in our room. The later it got the worse it got. The floors were so wet that we had to put towels down between the beds to wipe our wet feet off on before crawling into bed. By the next morning it looked like we took a water hose to the room and the floors were saturated. This could explain why they had the air conditioner on 63 when we arrived in that room, by keeping it freezing to prevent the condensation. I asked my son if he had any condensation issues and wet floors and he said no but that he kept his room on 63 and never turned the air conditioner up. The hotel is nice and clean (other than roaches in 1 room), the pool is nice, hot tub is nice, staff is nice, but after 2 rooms with issues. I just wouldn’t recommend staying here. Honestly they should at least give us some kind of refund/ partial, SOMETHING, for the hassle we went through and going home with damp everything.
