The hotel is located at the end of a quieter area of PCB, away from the bustling strip but still conveniently close to Pier Park. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were nice overall, despite outdated kitchen facilities and a faulty toilet handle. The staff was very helpful, although room cleaning was minimal. The location offers a peaceful beachfront experience, perfect for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere away from the crowded areas. The dining experience was limited on-site, but guests could easily access nicer and cheaper options in nearby hotels. The facilities were adequate, with coffee and breakfast bars available.
