"I booked before I read reviews and not gonna lie after reading them i was weary about staying here. I even thought about canceling. Im so glad I didnt! We had the best stay! The first night we got there, there was a power outage on a couple blocks and there was no power. This was the last thing we wanted to hear after a long travel day, it was out from 5pm to about 4am but the staff was so amazing and helpful! Thr manager went amd got lights and passed them out and he helped me figure out how to open windows which helped cool down our room tremendously! Our suite was perfect exactly what we needed, the kitchen was so nice and made it so we didnt have to eat out every meal and we were able to do simple small meals and reheat food and the fridge was just enough room. A lot of older reviews mention how loud it is and they had a hard time sleeping/how dirty gross and run down the place is and either they fired everyone and have totally new staff and management and have given the olace a huge facelift or they werent being hinest cuz thats just not true. Our room was very clean, It was so nice and peaceful and quiet my kids were prolly the loudest noise I heard. We didnt find out till the last night that the pool was heated or we woulda used it. Now the best part, the location which is why we booked it in the first place. Its literally 1 minute walk away from the beach and your right in the heart of PB everything is so close. Its super affordable too! Can't wait to come back!"

"The room was very clean. The bathroom was clean but very small. We had a second floor room and no elevator. That was very hard on our knees. The pool was at a different location, I guess it was next door, but we didn’t see it. And we ubered around town because we were afraid to move the car out of our parking place because there is insufficient parking for the size of the hotel and didn’t want to have to drive around looking for a parking space."
