Wonderful location and service, older property
Great location and customer service but the place hasn’t been updated in a while. Very dated decor with old wallpaper, rusty bathroom fixtures, etc. but the place is clean and has beachfront access, which is fantastic.

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.
