Weekend getaway

Bed and room were clean but could have used extra pillows. The windows were almost impossible to close once opened. The beach was right out the door and so were some nice restaurants which was awesome.

Great spot if you are looking for easy access to everything PB. The rooms are a bit dated, but that’s not unusual for PB. I’d recommend for longer stays - I was only there for a few days so didn’t take advantage of the kitchen.

Close to the beach and boardwalk. Penty of room in the suite. AC was great. The room was clean and everything worked. Logistics were lacking, not enough parking to accomodate guests, overflow parking is a few blocks away and there is no 24/7 street parking in the immediate vicinity. Had to check in and out at another property which wasn't bad but slightly confusing coming in late. Good price, good location, decent accomodations. Not a bad place if you're not expecting a 4 star resort.

The property is located in an ideal location; close to everything but not in the middle of the noise. The room/suite was great, the bathroom is a bit small around the sink. The check I. Was done at a different hotel, the directions could be better explained. Also, it would be helpful to have the other hotel’s phone number in the room for easy access. Will definitely stay there again.

The pictures on Expedia were very deceiving. The carpet was all stained. The couches had huge stains on them. The room smelled like mold and was very muggy, the air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly and was very very loud. We could not sleep. We left at 4:30 in the morning because the room was just too inhabitable.
