While several other persons in our party had nice rooms at the PSI, ours was not. When I called to tell the front desk our room smelt like dog pee… I was informed by Marlene that the hotel is two stars. However…. Two stars or not the room should be clean. You could see through the door jam to the outside door, the bathroom door did not close and either mice or rats were pushing insulation out from under the sink. If your feet touched the carpet you had to wash them off due to the feeling on walking on carpet that had been urinated on. There was also some sort of shampoo bottle shoved down the drain that caused the sink to not be able to drain. Additionally the fridge did not work and there was never anyone around to get towels etc. as previously stated no one was willing to change us to a room with carpet that not been urinated on. When I emailed the contact stated on the website I was not responded to either. It would be a gamble to book a room here and there are several other nicer well kept motels even at 2 stars that are cleaned and maintained.

I have been coming to Pacific Shores for several years. This is the first time the rating has been a 3. The pool was closed the entire time I was there. They were fixing someting that required a jack hammer that was used ALL day. This did not allow for relaxing in the room. I was unable to sign on to wi fi and attempted to trouble shoot by calling the number provided. After a 10 minute wait I was disconnected and the issue was not resolved. The microwave did not work well and the conditioner bottle was empty in the shower. I have not booked for next year.

Location was great. Very close to the beach and walking area. Love the ocean view. The high ceiling in our room made it appear much bigger. Room was very nice and clean. Would stay again.

The property presents a straightforward, albeit problematic, situation. A significant concern is the presence of mold, evident on the ceiling and within the bathroom. Evidence suggests attempts to conceal the mold through painting in the bathroom. A request for an alternative room resulted in a similar issue, as the assigned room was adjacent to the initial space. The severity of the mold was such that its odor was pervasive when ventilation was limited. While the furnishings were of good quality, and renovations appeared to have been undertaken, inadequate ventilation and circulation appear to be exacerbating the mold issue. Despite the favorable location and staff, a return visit is not recommended due to the mold problem.
