Balcony door was very hard to open, room didn't have coffee maker , the walls in the room are due for an upgrade (peeling in the corners) and any time you turned A/C down (gets pretty cold) you can feel the drops of water from the ceiling (mold/moisture). When in shower, you would constantly have to turn of water for some drainage from the bathtub.

The bathroom had no shower curtain, the ice machine was broken in our building. There were bugs all over the ceiling and in the light. There was only one light in the fan on one side of the room so where my bed was there was absolutely no light. The carpet was very dirty. We were given 3 towels for 2 people for 4 days and no one was around to even ask for anything. Worst place to stay ever!!! Never again! 0/10 recommend!

Check in was at 4 we were told they were still cleaning the room and it would be at least an hour before we could check in. Once we got into our room it clearly had not been cleaned as there was food still on the bedside tables. There was only 1 towel in the bathroom and the floors were so dirty our white socks were black after about 5 mins in the room. Large gaps under the doors to the room resulted in our room flooding when it rained and when we had to walk next door as the desk in the lobby was not staffed we were told yeah that happens. Not to mention the fact they charged us more than what the Expedia book stated. We booked 4 months in advance! We asked to speak to a manager and was told they don’t have one on the premises. We asked for one to call us and have yet to hear anything other than when we call one is not there. The beach was very clean but definitely will not stay at this property again.

Location was good. Coffee in the libby was excellent. The room was spacious. Mattress needed a topper. One of the mattress pads had a dark, dried, fluid looking stain. Not one full length mirror to be found. Bathroom was small and dated, with extremely dim lighting.The balcony needed a serious cleaning.

The property is in a very good place, the facilities lack a little more maintenance, the toilet never did it in the room during the 4 days of stay, the bathroom very nice, easy parking area, promise to have laundry when they do not have it, you have to go to the hotel right away to wash your clothes if you want.

The coffee pot still had last person's coffee and filter in it. No coffee items placed for our stay. For being a full kitchen, there was NO plates, glasses, cups only 1 knife and spoon, and 1 cooking pot. Very poor!! There was NO shower curtain, so we had to uae all the towels for all the water everywhere. Once we showered and were leaving for dinner, we informed the front desk. She gave us new towels. There was a curtain on the counter when we came back. So we had to install it. The floors were so filthy, that we constantly had to wash our black feet. They should offer a free contential breakfast too, like most hotels do. We have stayed here last year, but we won't ever be coming back.

It is not the best looking property. It’s ran down and need updates. However, we were grateful it was right on the beach for the low price we paid to stay there. It had a full service kitchen and we appreciate that because it saved us on food. We cooked instead of spending extra money on restaurants. Our last visit to PCB, we spent a lot on food and it was not to our standard. We’re use to a better cuisine in NOLA. The stuff was attentive and showed great customer service. I would stay there again due to the convenience and price.
