We had a wonderful experience. They upgraded is to their best room which has lots of space and a beautiful view. The staff was incredibly helpful.We liked it so well, we stayed 4 nights instead of 1. They are set to do some remodeling in the near future.

Best bang for your buck!
This is a budget hotel, but the front desk lady Rena made you feel so welcome and like you were staying with family. We'll be back!

For the price it was exactly what was expected. Older rooms, poor upkeep. It was clean, the outside area behind the fence was super cute. The location was great and the beds were comfortable.

You get what you pay for. Location and front office lady was the two good things. Other than that you just get a bed to sleep and a bathroom to take showers. That's all

Great little old school hotel.
If you are into cheaper rates, easy access to places, not so uptight and more low-key comfortable hotels then this is the place to stay. This is old school hotel (I personal enjoy hotels more like this). The staff is friendly especially the manager, she was fantastic woman. You are walking distance to liquor store, a coffee shop and one of the better bars in PCB (The Salty Goat). The beach is literally across the street. The only thing I recommend is bring a coffee maker if you are someone that drinks coffee before 7 am.

The location was great!! Certain staff members weren’t the friendliest on Sunday morning. The place wasn’t the cleanest but overall the location made it durable.

Staff was very nice. Building is very old. Definitely needs remodeling. Requested to stay upstairs due to heavy traffic downstairs in which they were able to accommodate. Stayed for two nights.

The staff went above & beyond to accommodate us after an issue arose with our initial room. Clean, beds very comfy & convenient. Wish they had non alcoholic drinks in the store but overall we had a pleasant stay. Will book again

Absolutely DO NOT STAY HERE!
The room looked nothing like the pics, it smelled! The bed was like concrete. There was some other guest drinking in front of our room, one guy even propositioned me in front of my husband, and another guest doing drugs in front of his room, only 3 doors down from ours. All of that was with in 5 to 10 mins of checking in paying and going to see our room. We headed right back to the person at the front desk only to find out he had left, so we didn’t even get the chance to say we weren’t going to stay there, and we had an event we were going to. So through out the night we tried to call the front desk and got no answer. We ended up driving all the way back home instead of going back to the hotel. I would never recommend anyone staying in this hotel.
