The room was filthy dirty, and had a very bad odor. We could not stay in that room. They did not have any more rooms to put us in and transferred us to a sister property and we went there and it took them two hours to complete the transfer.

Older motel that is very clean and is currently being remodeled. We were skeptical when we booked but it was well worth it and clean and only will be getting better. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Some of the nicest I have met in PCB (and I have been going for over 40 years). Very pleased with the property and look forward to going back.

We recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a pleasant experience. The room was okay—nothing fancy, a bit old, but perfectly fine for a comfortable stay. It’s definitely a budget-friendly option, which we appreciated. The highlight of our trip was the beautiful sea view, which truly made the stay worthwhile. The only downside was the check-in and check-out times. Check-in at 4:00 PM feels too late, and check-out at 10:00 AM is a bit too early, especially for guests who want to enjoy the beach. Because of this, I would recommend booking at least two nights to make the most of your visit. Overall, it’s a good place for the price, especially if you’re looking for a great view and a relaxing beach experience.
