For an anniversary present, I selected this place to stay because it has such magnificent views of the ocean and red one of the greatest walks along the shoreline you'll find anywhere. The outside looks very modest, but when you get into the rooms, they were clean comfortable and offer nice places to sit outside while you have your lunch and look at the water and hear the ocean waves breaking below. I would return to this place in a minute. Everyone that worked here was helpful and nice. And I would recommend if you're going there go to the south end of the building and on the second floor they have an outdoor sitting area where you can look at the ocean and have your lunch under canopies. Enjoy this place we will be back. If you're ever in Fort Bragg, be sure also to visit the nearby glass beach. It's really famous and it's fun to poke around there. You can also catch the skunk train easily from this location. read more

When is "Free wifi" not free? When it barely works at all... So my wife and I stayed in a pet suit, while our son was in the middle of the resort, and our daughter was at the south end. Nobody had wifi that worked well. You'd get maybe a minute or two connected, then offline. There's no AC, but the pet suite had a decent cross flow of air. The kids rooms however did not, just a small bathroom window near the front, and a sliding glass door near the back. Not really something you can securely leave open all night. The rooms themselves were clean and well maintained, offering a TV, a microwave and a mini fridge. Staff was very responsive, we called for extra towels and coffee, received them right away. Key cards seemed to be an issue for us and other guests. We had to return to the front desk several times due to non-functional cards. We saw several other guests return as well. Location is pretty nice. Right by the shore and at the south end of town. There's a handful of bikes for rent which is nice. Several places to eat well within biking distance, including a Denny's. The firepit area and BBQ's though, need to have some sort of reservation system. We had one family monopolizing one corner. All in all, a fair balance of positives and negatives except when you get to the price. You're paying on the high side, so you expect a little better. The pet room was fun though, our dog enjoyed having her own little spot to go in and out. read more

We had a good stay here, with some highlights and a couple of things worth mentioning. Before we arrived, I called because we knew we'd be getting in late, and Cody at the front desk was fantastic. She made sure our room was ready for us, gave us a discount coupon for a nearby restaurant, and handed us a list of local places to check out, which was so helpful after a long day of driving. Everything was thought out in advance, and we really appreciated that level of care. The room itself was nice, and the ocean view from the balcony was lovely. The location is great, and the property definitely has that classic coastal Fort Bragg vibe. That said, for nearly $300 a night, there were a couple of misses. The shampoo bottle mounted in the shower was empty, which was disappointing -- especially at that price. Thankfully, I had brought my own. It was also pretty noisy early in the morning, with doors slamming throughout the building, which made it hard to get solid rest. Because of those things, I'm taking off one star. Even so, I genuinely liked the place and would consider staying again. Huge shout-out to Cody for going above and beyond -- her kindness and professionalism really made the stay better. @wegotschwag on tik tok read more

A Motel whose appeal is quickly fading. What was once a great value for a getaway vacation has become a budget motel that charges a premium price. I understand Northern California weather conditions but there is no excuse for the buildup of mold and mildew. Steady decay throughout. Small bathrooms with questionable plumbing. No more breakfast. Do it yourself laundry and room service if staying multiple nights. Outside of a nice ocean front view. I'm not sure what we're paying for anymore. With all the oceanfront properties falling under the same ownership there is no competition or incentive to improve. read more

parking was easy. they have a charging station for electric vehicles. i booked a 2 bed room with a little ocean view. No privacy when on the balcony. you can literally see the neighbors next door if they were outside too. had a nice night walk in the back as well as a few drinks by the fire pits. walked across the bridge to see the beautiful view of the ocean the next morning. id come back. read more

I've stayed at the Beach Comber many times over the years and the location is always a highlight. You are steps from the beach, the amazing walking path, and so forth. You're also walkable to town which is a bonus. The past couple of times I stayed, though, everything has just felt a little tired and in need of a refresh. I hope that happens because this really is an ideal spot to stay. For now, I hesitate to recommend based on those experiences. read more

LOVE This place was great. Clean, comfortable. Right on the beach and a lovely paved walking path. A 20-minute or so walk to Glass Beach. Beautiful ocean views and the sound of crashing waves. LIKE Even with all the tourists, Glass Beach was sparkly and worth the trip. MEH Dude in the room next door was outside on his balcony drinking beer at sunset and in the morning. As a woman alone, it was a bit too close for my comfort. A lot of highway noise on the other side, but it was tolerable. So many people at Glass Beach for sunset, even on a weekday, and so many of them picking souvenirs to take home. Sad. Leave it for others to enjoy! read more

Add a relaxing stay at the beachcomber. An upstairs room with a great view. In fact, opening the drapes in the morning and seeing the beach, sparkling out in front of me was breathtaking. I recommend this property. read more

My family and I bought my mom and boyfriend a romantic 2 day stay at the beachcomber for Christmas. I just spoke to her and she said it was ok. Number one, when you ask for a jacuzzi tub, you are NOT asking for the brand name jacuzzi, your asking for a spa type bubbling jet hot tub and it was not. Stop playing word games! I will be more specific next time though when I require one from a different hotel! Next there was a beautiful view from the patio of the beach but no chairs to sit on to enjoy it! My mom is 84 yo she needed chairs so I asked her did you ask for some chairs? her answer was there was no one other then workers who spoke NO English!! We won't be back. read more

My husband and I went up to Fort Bragg for one night to ride the Skunk Train. While looking for a room we wanted specific things like close to the ocean, clean and a jacuzzi and we found all here so we booked it. We booked months in advance and we were pleasantly surprised to find out on arrival that they had just remodeled. Room #145 The room was super clean, the bed was very comfortable for us. Jacuzzi not updated but works just fine. Fills slow so have patience. I love that they took out the carpet and replaced with tile. There is no AC or heater in the room but this time of year it was not needed but during summer I'm sure we would have needed AC and during colder months heat is needed so not sure why they are provided at all. The check in was great. The person who helped us was very friendly and explained all aspects of property and rules due to fire pits and whatnot. I never have dealt with a nicer front desk person. We have an EV car and there are 2 chargers but unfortunately we couldn't use either because there was a Tesla parked in one that was not charging all night and a motor cycle parked in the other. There are super charges close by but would have been nice to get a free charge. I'm sure I could have went to the front desk and they would have found the owners but it's not worth the hassle. The beach is a close walk. They have a cute little dog area. The outside of property is well maintained and beautiful as well. read more

I haven't been to the Beachcomber in 2 years. I loved my last visit. This time not so much. The room was definitely not tooken care of the same. The card locks on the doors were corroded, making entry annoying. The room smelled and looked amazing upon entry. It was a nice room. There were things I didn't like for the price I paid. The #1 thing being the beds. They had no spring to them at all. It just felt like a bunch of blankets or a pad. The beds were so much better before. They must be using refurbished mattresses now. Our backs are killing us 2 days after being home. The coffee pot didn't work it said it needed descaled. There was no bag in the ice dish. There was a pubic hair in the soap holder in shower. The toilet & tub was so tiny. The screen didn't lock it was also very dirty. It just wasn't what I was use to for $600. And no breakfast at all, not even a muffin. The room had a great view. The office guys seemed pleasant but this place has went down hill. I highly doubt I will come back. North Cliff is a lot better now. read more

We have been staying at The Beachcomber for about 30 years! We have always been very comfortable and felt safe. Rooms on the oceanfront are awesome. Lovely to sit outside and enjoy the view and folks walking by. The bbq area is a real plus. We stayed in a room with a kitchenette - great when you have kids. Beach access is easy and great path for walking and riding your bike! Great place read more

Haven't actually stayed here, but this place was recommended by a couple of DogTrekkers representatives I met at a booth at Bark in the Park in San Jose. Not only are they dog friendly but apparently they have a program where you can borrow a shelter dog for a few hours to play and go out with. What a great way to make a vacation even more fun and show love to a dog that really needs it. read more

Wow! Beachcomber has had a makeover! They've remodeled since our last visit and we really love it! We opted for a kitchenette unit and it's perfect! The bathroom was done and they installed anti fog mirrors that have electronics! It isn't the quietest motel on earth because there are kids, dogs and other things that some people can't deal with. For them, I suggest a more private accommodation at one of the Beachcomber ownership group's other motels nearby! The people who own these motels know what they are doing. They bring value to the table in the form of a warm friendly staff and a clean, well kept motel. We've stayed here dozens of times and will will keep coming here as long as we live! Have a nice day! read more

Loved staying at this place for the night! The room was clean and well decorated. The staff working last night was extremely friendly and personable, we greatly appreciated that she let us know that there wouldn't be many food places open when we arrived late last night so to make sure to eat something on the way! We were able to book last minute and be accommodated sweetly! The bed was big and comfy with a beautiful ocean view. There was a hot tub and coffee machine in the room, wish we could have had time to try out the hot tub! Hoping to come back and spend more time here! Thank you for everything! read more

We spent last week at the Beachcomber. What a great place to stay! Very friendly staff. Rooms were clean. Comfortable beds, pillows, comforter.... Good size fridge/freezer, Keurig, type coffeemaker. Adirondack chairs out on the patio as seen in the video. Gas fire pits, gas bbq's for guests to use. There is also a viewing deck that is very peaceful. We took binoculars with us and could see the whales "spouting" from the upper deck. The hotel is older, but maintained. The rates are very fair imo. Sipping coffee on this beautiful property 1st thing in the morning is an amazing treat! Thx you to all the staff that were always friendly and busy cleaning ect.... We appreciate you! C-ya next year! read more

This was the most epic stay, me and my husband rented the jacuzzi tub room on the second floor with a patio and fireplace. We had the most amazing view, we could hear and see the beach, it was so peaceful. The jacuzzi was great, ready when we arrived, the room was clean and absolutely have no complaints other than the bed was a little uncomfortable, but I would stay here again because everything else was amazing, staff was also super helpful and very nice. read more

Customer service was sufficient, but not super friendly. Got the job done, but not very inviting. Seems to be on par with other businesses we encountered in Fort Bragg. Great location, walking distance to the beach. Rooms aren't very sound proof, can hear kids, dogs, water drips, etc. but were fine otherwise. Got the ground floor Queen with beach view. But there was no view from that room, didn't feel like complaining though, so we just went with it. Best part of the room was our patio, right outside our room, had several gas fire pits, BBQ grills and lots of seating. Nice touch. I would return. Next time I would get a room on the second floor and bring stuff for s'mores. read more

Me and the wife love this place! It's a little dated but there are remodeling rooms. We had our dog with us it's nice that they are dog friendly. Check in was easy and same with checking out! The view are so nice and have a bunch of trails to walk along. You are walking distance down to glass beach! They have bike rentals and a nice walking/riding patch. The fire pits are so nice to chill and have a drink by! This is our 3rd time staying here. High recommend this place! Cheers read more

We decided to stay here because it was dog friendly, decently priced and a amazing location. For a dog friendly motel it's decent. We stayed in 144. There are lots of dogs and ground squirrels so it's super important to have your pup leashed under control. Pros: Our room backed right up to a shared patio with seating and fire pits. We were also right next to the dog park they have for guests which was convenient. Next time I'm staying in their pet suite because they have their own personal dog door and yard. There is a dog friendly beach walking distance from the motel. And a walking path right along the back of the motel. They don't serve breakfast but have hot cocoa, coffee and tea in the morning. They have a vending machine for drink and a lobby filled with candy and snacks. You will hear the ocean. And if you get an upstairs room, you'll for sure see the ocean and sunset. Motel is super close by to everything (Glass Beach, DT Mendocino, Lighthouse, Skunk Train). And for those that think it's important to know, their shampoo and hand soap brand is Paya. Cons: The bathroom could use an update along with the light socket plates, windows and screen door. We needed some air in our room and felt uncomfortable leaving our door open because the screen door had no lock. And the constant slamming of doors and extra loud walkie talkies by the maintenance crew drove me nuts. The doors were so loud it shook the walls. Motel is right on Hwy 1 so you'll hear traffic. Parking is basically first come first served and not designated. Although, we were pretty lucky. read more

We came to Ft. Bragg for my daughter's birthday. I'd done a fair amount of research/ comparison shopping before deciding on the Beachcomber Motel & Spa. I liked the location and that it looked clean & comfortable. Pros: Convenient location. Ample Free Parking Free WiFi Balcony Rooms Microwave, fridge & coffee maker Cons: Bathroom set-up. Sink in the bedroom space, **small** room with toilet & tub. Mattress condition. Painfully bad! Long overdue for an upgrade. Pillows, too. Door lock card-readers are corroded & need to be replaced. At times it would take between 15-20 swipes to get the door to unlock! No breakfast available, continental or otherwise. Other things to consider: I'm not sure why they call this a "Motel & SPA". There is no on-site spa facility. That one staircase is bizarre & dangerous! The only way to access it, or exit it, is from an EV parking space. If the parking space is occupied, it's next to impossible to get to! Not a great situation when your room is near the top of the staircase, and you're trying to get your luggage upstairs with you. Many reviews mention recent updating to the rooms. My room could have used some of those upgrades. I expected more for the price I paid for a two night stay. The room was ok...what I'd call a standard room. The views were great, but those beds. Ouch! read more

Wife and I stayed for 3 nights mid-week in May. We had upstairs room directly above the office, the best in my opinion. View of ocean was breathtaking. I do highly recommend upstairs rooms as the lower units have an asphalt pathway along the outer edge of the patio that eliminates any true sense of privacy. Anyone walking/biking on the path have a direct view into your room! There is no A/C so the rooms can get a bit warm just after mid-day but cools off as the sun begins to set. The best part of upstairs room is that one can leave the sliding door open and get the cooling breeze off from the ocean with no one able to peer in as what is possible to do in the lower units. Balcony has two chairs and a small table. Sit out there during the sunset with a brewskie or glass of wine in hand and it's great. There's a communal fire pit area that's quite nice for meeting other people. Room was clean, everything works as it should. There is no room service unless requested. Front desk were very polite and helpful. Again, get an upstairs room for the best experience. read more

I made the mistake of booking through a 'booking' website, and to my dismay got the room with no ocean view as feared. make sure to book directly so you can request your room specifically, and try to get a second floor or middle of the first floor choices. Other than that little issue, everything is as shown clean rooms & quiet. great location for beaches and parks, close enough to town. read more

Super nice and lenient on check in time as long as you call! Front desk was super helpful and sweet. Rooms are nice and the view is amazing. Had no idea about the out back fires until we got there so that was an exiting surprise! There little souvenir/snack wall when you check in is worth giving a look too:) read more

Highly recommend! Check in was easy and employees were all friendly and accommodating. Lobby is small and clean. They had complimentary coffee & tea and had some Fort Bragg merchandise for sale. Easy access to the beach and cliffs. We stayed in room 208 with balcony view of the beach and bluffs. Check in is at 3pm and check out at 11am. They allowed us a llate check out at 12pm. They had 1 75kW EV charger in their parking lot-free. Loved their communal fire pit picnic area which is located next to their dog run. We stayed in a pet free room. All rooms are non smoking. read more

Pros: Awesome location with a great view of the ocean and beach where Pudding Creek empties into the Pacific. Upstairs room with balcony is clean and efficient, the bed is very comfortable. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker made it easy to relax and enjoy the room. Easy walk down to the beach and along the bluffs, 13 minutes walk over to Glass Beach. Very friendly staff. Cons: these would not stop me from returning but you should know that there's a bike and walking path right off the balcony and if you are on the ground floor folks are walking right by your room. Upstairs the rooms and balconies are very close together, the toilet and shower room is tight and the tub didn't really fill up. Overall we will return and recommend, but some people won't like the close proximity to their neighbors and the bike path read more

whole lot of family and friends are here for my sisters wedding near the sea. I will be officiating. our room is nice, hot tub and fireplace. great location with a wonderful ocean view.

This Hotel is super funny because they are full of jokes... our room was filthy when we checked in and we told the front office. The lady at the front office says "we can give you the cleaning supplies to clean your room because you only get one cleaning every 3 days." Yeah I am going to say "that's so great that I get to go back to my filthy room and clean it myself"... are you kidding me? Stay clear of this place and go with any of the other hotels. read more

BE FOREWARNED ..... STAY HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK! This place is in DISREPAIR, TIRED, MOLDY, CARPET reeks of SMELLS! Quite frankly not even the view, which is the ONLY thing it has going for it, makes staying here worth it! $215/night for: 1. A shower that barely spits out water 2. A broken toilet that took 2-days to get repaired 3. Broken tiles and mold throughout the bathtub wall 4. Staff at front desk don't have a clue about how to deal with any problem or how anything works ..... DUH what are you paid for??? 5.

Reservation process: Straight forward and good experience but wish you could modify reservation online after making it. Check in process: Easy and straight forward Amenities: A few things could be improved. The wifi was struggling most of the time, could definitely either have increased speeds or extenders in each room, Netflix was constantly loading. Sadly, the in-room towels were very small and scratchy, not a fan. Love that there's a fridge and microwave, awesome bonus, also love the size of the tv. Room condition: Room was clean and neat, but the strong smell of menthol wasn't very inviting. Staff courtesy: only interacted with staff at check in so not much to say here, they were nice. Overall: It was a good experience and we LOVED being able to see and hear the ocean from our room. The bed was comfy and I like the soap, shampoo, conditioner dispensers. 2 big things: wall decor should be updated (the paintings and frames are so ugly i'm sorry) and why have carpets on the outside stairs? this place is right by the water and water + carpet = mildew. lots of stains on the outside carpets so may want to consider removing it. Lastly, the chairs in the patio are pretty cheap and uncomfortable, those could be improved too. Oh i loved the captains deck, dog park, and fire pits though. 4/5 experience overall! read more
