I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but this place really earned this one. The toilet stayed stopped up the entire time even when using a normal amount of toilet paper which is completely unacceptable. The floor was visibly dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. The sheets had burn holes in them, even though the room was supposed to be non-smoking, which is both gross and concerning. Overall, the room felt neglected and poorly maintained. For the price, I expected basic cleanliness and working plumbing, and didn’t get either. I would not stay here again and do not recommend it.

Came to PCB for an impromptu bowling tourney and stayed here since it was in close proximity to the bowling center. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was adorable and was assigned on the first floor, which was fine because the back door gave us direct access to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the water pressure was perfect and had no plumbing issues at all. Sure there was a few stains here and there around the room and bathroom, but its ON THE BEACH! Lots of walkable places to see and do, with an abundance of restaurants near by. We came here because of the price point, but since we were impressed with all we got at this price, we'll be back again soon!

This is an older hotel, nothing fancy at all! If you looking for luxury, go somewhere else. If you’re looking for something decent and beach front, this is an option. The cleanliness could be improved, I personally wiped everything down with bleach upon arrival, put on my own sheets, and stayed the week.

Staff was great, room very clean. Incredible location. Door key didn't work 100%, took 6-8 tries sometimes. Limited parking, available across street. Hotel is dated, but not an issue for us. 2 bedroom unit, the 2nd room is just bed and dresser.

The room was a complete nightmare. Never in my life have I paid so much to stay at a place this disgusting. I can not say what the other rooms are like, but room 422 was the nastiest place I’ve ever showered and slept in my life!
Shower was nasty to the point I wore flip flops to protect my feet. The toilet was so unstable and rocky that you could smell raw sewage when it moved.
Shower curtain rod failing off the wall.
Stove was dirty and held together by exposed wood screws.
The cabinet trim was just peeling away.
