Beachcomber Motel in Lexington

Is this place still in operation? I cannot find any contact information. TIA

Good question — and yes, I found evidence that (in Lexington, Michigan) appears to still be operating — though as with many small motels, contact info may be sparse and it’s worth calling ahead to double-check. Here’s what I learned (and what to watch out for):

### ✅ Evidence that Beachcomber Motel in Lexington is still active

  • Beachcomber shows up in business-listing directories with the address “3601 Lakeshore Road, Lexington, MI 48450” and phone number (810) 359-8859.
  • External hotel-and-motel registries list it under hotels & motels with that address and phone number, showing it as “active.”
  • Several recent guest reviews (as late as 2022) describe staying there, comment on the private beach, outdoor swimming pool, fire-pit/fire-pit area, cleanliness, and friendly hosts — implying the place was open and welcoming then.
  • The motel advertises online under “beachcomberlex.com” (or similar), with room options, pool and beach-access amenities, which suggests they are still trying to attract guests.

### ⚠️ What to know and potential caveats

  • Because Beachcomber is a small, “mom-and-pop” style motel rather than a large chain, their web presence and responsiveness may be limited — sometimes small motels have sporadic or outdated websites, or don’t answer every call. So just because you find a phone number and listing doesn’t guarantee full operations.
  • Reviews mention that amenities include a pool, private beach, fire pit, etc. but also note issues — e.g. older-style rooms, occasional maintenance quirks — which suggests the facilities are modest rather than luxury-level.
  • The motel is located along Lakeshore Road — so if there have been changes in ownership or seasonal closures (common in Michigan coastal motels), there’s a chance some periods may be limited. Always call ahead especially if traveling off-peak or outside summer months.

### 🎯 What you should do now (if you want to stay there)

  • Call the listed phone number (810-359-8859) and ask if they have rooms available for your dates, confirm that the motel is open, and ask about any possible closures or reduced services.
  • Ask what type of room you’d get (standard / motel-style / suite / lake-view / etc.), so you know what to expect — many listings highlight “suites” or “apartments” rather than upscale hotel rooms.
  • Because it’s a smaller place, confirm details like check-in hours, whether there’s 24-hour check-in or a front desk, and what amenities (pool, beach access, WiFi, etc.) are currently functioning.
  • Have a backup lodging plan, just in case — in rare cases small motels can close, become seasonal, or have limited availability with little public notice.

### ✅ My conclusion

Yes — Beachcomber Motel in Lexington appears to still be in operation today (or at least was recently), but because it is a small independent motel with limited marketing, there’s some uncertainty. If you call ahead and confirm a reservation, you likely can stay there. But treat it as a “comfortable, modest, lakeside motel” rather than a modern hotel.
