We had a good time at this establishment. The rooms were fairly clean but lacked usable garment storage during our stay. The air conditioner above our room was dripping water on to the entry door to our room. This was very aggravating. All-in-all, the office personnel and staff were very friendly and helpful, but the repairs done to fix the air conditioning, were substandard, effective, but not correct.

we had a lot of fun staying here. it’s really close to a lot of fun activities. it was nice being in walking distance from a few restaurants and a bar. the place is definitely not the cleanest, but it’s good for the price. it’s definitely a party hotel as there was a pool table, foosball, twister and some beer pong, but me and my boyfriend are in our 20s so it was great for us. the staff was great and i love that there is a convince store in the office! we would definitely stay here again.

Banana Peel lodge was the perfect getaway stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the beer pong table and pool area. Staying at BPL was relaxing. We didnt have to worry about a crowded hotel full of your average PCB seasonal beach goers. The house mom was sweet and sassy like an auntie we all have. Loved our stay would be awesome if they had food.

Not what we reserved at all. Floors were dirty . Could've stayed somewhere else for the same price. Lots of people partying that was not staying there so we could not park our car.

I will say that the people up front were very nice and kind when I did check in and check out. When I first arrived, i honestly had no clue where I was going when my map told me that the hotel was right in front of me so when I walked in, I thought it was a small gas station store only to realize it was my hotel since I saw the logo. Got checked in, went to go find my room and the outside didn’t look like any of the photos I saw online. Not going to lie, was kind of scared. Got to my room, it was decent so I won’t complain about that, just wish I had a blanket to sleep with because there was only a sheet. I will say, the second night I stayed there, there was a fight right outside my room and there was a lot of yelling and someone hit my door at 2 in the morning and the yelling didn’t stop for 20 minutes. It was a good thing I was leaving the next morning to head home.

The property doesn’t look anything like what they portray on their website or on Expedia it looks as if it’s a location where people stay for extra long periods of time. The room has one light and it’s only above the door and a very small lamp. I turned the tv on and it didn’t work went to tell the man at the front ( which was very nice) he was unable to do anything an anyone that could would be only able to at 7am. I was not happy with this due now I’m really stuck with staying at this motel it is not a lodge of any sort the name is very misleading. It is a motel and it looks as if i was a seedy type of motel at one point. Aside from the dimly lit room and no comforter or blanket on the beds. The employees were nice. The employees did not have any factor into my scoring it’s based off the fact the place doesn’t look anything like the pictures they have on their website. Had I seen actual pictures of the motel I would have NEVER spent my money on that room. 180.00 is way to much to spend on that type of room with no amenities what so ever.

This is a great low budget hotel for anyone who is just trying to sleep nights in their room and enjoy the rest of their day at the beach close by! Overall not a bad location! A little extra sanitizing on your part and you’ll feel like home! Nice pool as well.

Good but limited parking

Everything was okay except the parking. We checked in on a Saturday and although they advertise free parking, parking was very limited. There are more rooms than there are parking spaces. We had to park in a tow zone the first day there but eventually got to move our car to the hotels parking lot.

Worst place ever

The nastiest place I've ever seen. The cleaning people do not do there job at all. Staff was friendly but none of them enforced the rules at the pool or through out the hotel. Not recommended for a family at all. Not enough parking. Only thing keeping this place open is the location. Need to bulldoze down the whole establishment and start over.

WARNING!! DO NOT STAY HERE!! The pics of the property and rooms are a LIE! The place is a dump! If the worst Super8 and the worst Motel6 had a baby it would be The banana peel! No toilet paper, no bedding, sticky dirty floors, roaches, no hangers, no coffee, terrible bed and crack heads living there! We left and got a refund. Can’t believe Expedia does business with this place! I took pics, wish I could post them here!
