The property is along the beach. Easy access. No waterfront view from the room. With the exception of a couple of units. Nonetheless location is perfect. Limited parking for this location. There are other properties blocks away. But that creates a problem in itself if you need to go back and forth to the car for various things. The property is pet friendly. So be prepared to listen to pets walking and playing around if you are on the bottom floor. And they are above you. Can keep you up. Located close and walking distance to anything you would need. Beach, dining, stores, barbershop etc. Would definitely stay again. But would request top floor next time.

great location but.....
The location is great. The facilities are lacking. No onsite support for guests and we had to walk to a different location to check in. Only three windows opened so the room was stuffy and we had to use the AC. the sink faucet was broken. No daily change of sheets. In this case providing the number of towels that the guest is staying would allow for fresh towels daily without room service. As I said great location.

They overbooked the hotel. The only room they had was an out of service room that was hot and humid bc it was right on the beach. My entire intention. I was given a room at their other hotel which was nice, but it was loud and right on mission blvd with street traffic. Not the vibe I paid $150 for.

The location is great—nothing better than being steps away from PB’s boardwalk and beach. However, there’s several other places to stay along the boardwalk in the same price range that are much better. You have to walk to their sister location a couple blocks away to check in, which would be good to know before getting dropped off and having to drag around all your luggage back and forth. The room was clean enough, but was one of their rooms that did not have working AC. The front desk staff said to just use the box fan in the closet, but I ended up also having to sleep with the windows open which wasn’t ideal as a younger female traveling solo. Also would have appreciated safer locking capabilities or at least an inside door lock reinforcer ($8 on Amazon btw lol). Overall it was a room to sleep in, but not somewhere I’d stay at again for my future trips to PB.

Nice charming older beach hotel not great but not bad either … They seem to not have a front desk as when we arrived we saw a not on the office door that we have to check up the street at their sister property…After driving a long trip being hungry this lack of notification did not make me very happy ..We walked up the street maybe 500 yards to their sister hotel and checked in than had to walk back to our hotel ..Our room was ok but a bit drab..We had no view whatsoever so I felt a bit claustrophobic..The shower was fine ..The bed was comfortable but the worst direct tv system and no usb outlets or any thing that resembles anything modern .. We were notified at check I that the main room the AC was not working ..We didn’t need it but still rather unprofessional to rent me a room without proper air conditioning..I did get an extended check out till 12 as the property is right on the boardwalk basically..There are some homeless sleeping on the benches at night but I never felt unsafe walking my dog or joking out to my car ..I wouldn’t pay more than $179 for this room as this is the price I paid for a queen suite
