Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mixed experience overall. While the service was friendly and the location was nice, there were some issues with the rooms and dining options. The facilities were basic but satisfactory.
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 The rooms, although smaller than expected, were nice overall, despite outdated kitchen facilities and a faulty toilet handle.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.
