You simply cannot beat the location of this hotel!! I was so happy to be right on the beach, and was in walking distance to everything! The only thing is that my room was above the restaurant below and it was a little loud until around midnight, but that didn’t bother me much - just something to note! I will absolutely be staying here again.

We loved the wide ocean view, comfortable room, and pleasant staff. The bathroom doesn't have a fan so it can get stuffy. Also, PB is definitely has a party vibe so be prepared for late night noise from the businesses surrounding the hotel (I clearly acknowledge this is not within their control). Look forward to a return visit.

It is quite obvious that a hard working team is in charge of the upkeep and running of this property. We loved our stay and felt comfortable there. It was clean and there were no funky smells (IYKYK). The price was fair for the area. We had a great stay.

Only gave 3 stars on staff, although mostly polite had an issue with a security officer sitting on the tailgate of my truck and harassing my dad for pipe and cherry pipe tobacco on the table outside. Also there was 8 hrs a day of construction in front of our apartment. I've stayed 4 times so far without construction but I guess they're at least keeping up the maintenance and the rooms are very large and overly clean. Overall I give 4 stars total. It's a very nice place to stay.

This is a solid stay for the cost, maybe the best at this cost. Walk 19 feet, and you are on the walking path with 5 thousand beautiful people enjoying the sun in the coolest part of the path. Communication was great. Parking great. Coffee great. 1. If you stay here, you might be in a room with an old shower—pull the handle out hard WHILE twisting clockwise. There is another fan in the closet—we didn't see it until we checked out. The room never got unbearable. It stays cool. 2. If you are in the building above the bar, the open patio door will include the noise of the party until about 2AM. It's not terrible, but if you are sensitive to sound at night, request a room away from the bar. 3. If you come in with sandy feet, there are several places to water off, but the main outside shower was broken. The other spots are there, but they are hidden. Keep looking. 4. I sensed that there were some long-term renters at the hotel. It's got that vibe, but it's not bad; just prepare your expectations. If you are a 4 or 5-star guy, your demands will not be met. For the rest of us, once you acclimate the older charm it's great. Life Pro Tip - walk to Handles Ice Cream. It's unreal.
