Candid 1-2 star recent flags include ‘$15/day parking fee to park at the motel you just rented a room from’ (recurring complaint), ‘the smell of marijuana is overwhelming and even gets into the room. The attendant said that he cannot do anything’ (1-star), and ‘Sofa in the room was about 6 years old and must have never been cleaned. The entire property… nasty and dirty’ (1-star). A 2-star 10-day guest wrote ‘the room was nice and the grounds were very pretty. We enjoyed the hot tup and the pool’ — confirming the shared hot tub — while criticizing the $15/day parking fee. Best only for value-first PCB beachfront families willing to accept the property’s condition and parking-fee tradeoffs.

What Guests Are Saying

“Building exterior with poor upkeep. Ocean/pool bar service poor—not enough help. Room towels horrible—thin, scratchy, rough. Had to ask for toilet paper. It was quiet for sleeping, one good thing. Ocean chair reservation service was great/convenient.” — Amy A., 3 stars

“We stayed here for 10 days. The room was nice and the grounds were very pretty. We enjoyed the hot tup and the pool. That being said, we will NOT stay there again as long as they charge a ridiculous $15/day parking fee to park your own car in an uncovered out door lot! Because we booked our stay last September before they instituted this charge( It started in November!) we did not have to pay it. However, we were planning on staying for the month of November this year but it would have cost us an additional $465 on top of the room.” — RayNoland, 2 stars

“The room we had was nasty. The carpet hadn’t been vacuumed in a long time. It was full of sand and the tile floor hadn’t been scrubbed in a long time. The tile was slippery like it had sunscreen on it. The room was very humid. The chair they had in the room was filthy and when wiped off, it was like there was slim on it. The TV remote was also very dirty. For the price we paid, it was NOT worth the money.” — Paul B., 2 stars
