FALSE advertising is the number 1 issue !!! What they show in the pictures when you make the reservation is NOT what you get. Beaware !!! They show you this nice hotel, by the beach, with nice pool and jacuzzi and when you get there you get sent across the street to this '50's style old motel type accomodations that are extremely dirty, with bugs, dirty conforters and sheets, mold all over in the bathroom and no towels. If you ask to talk with the manager, he's somehow "unavailable". Never ever will I step foot into this place !!!

This hotel is more a glorified motel than a beach resort. It caters to families that live within driving distance, even if that distance is 12 hours away. It was nice to have a kitchenette and direct beach access, the pool and pool area was well maintained. The beach is much quieter in this area than closer to the pier. But the rooms are very basic. There are only vending machine snacks on-site and no restaurants really in the area. The lady on the overnight shift that checked us out was so sweet and friendly, other than that every staff member we interacted with seemed annoyed and overwhelmed. Pro tip, if you can, bring your own beach/pool towels, the ones they offer are tiny and threadbare. There is no safe in the room for valuables.

Would not stay here again.

This was truly the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. Our room was not in good shape at all, it was very run down. The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The comforters provided were gross so we asked for more, but never got them. The outdoor pool was nice, but the indoor pool was dirty! From when we first arrived you could smell someone smoking weed throughout the whole parking lot, which we didnt like but it wasnt a huge deal. However our last night we had a group of people fighting literally at our door and yelling at other guests who asked them to stop.. we called the front desk and they did come over. I do think they made some of them leave, but there was still a group there that kept yelling. We were nervous after that so we decided to leave for the night. The staff was nice to us when we checked in/out, but it was still a terrible experience. I wish I had seen other reviews warning of the negatives of this hotel before I booked. I know it wasn't specifically the hotels fault for what happened with the other guests, but I was upset they didn't make all of them leave after that. But I just wanted to share our experience so people can be aware.

There were a few inconveniences that I’d like to address. There’s not any kind of breakfast available and the coffee was not kept ready. With only a 4 cup coffee maker in the room and only one bag of coffee, I found this to be irritating. There’s no ice machine…anywhere! If you just needed a small amount of ice, you have to buy a whole bag. I found this to be quite inconvenient. The one saving grace was that staff was nice. The property is old and needs a good facelift. When I return to PCB, I’ll do better research about the hotel and most likely stay elsewhere.

No dish detergent or coffee left in room.Room service every 4 days unless requested. You can go down to front desk for clean towels,garbage bags they may or may not have.But you do have a beautifully beach to look at.Also if you do plan on cooking a meal of any kind bring cookware from home.
