It was a nice homey environment. While the room we stayed in definitely could have used some work, the mom and daughter ( I think ) that run the place are so very kind. The pool area was nice, and overall I would love to go back and would love to see some improvements on the rooms.

Banana Peel lodge was the perfect getaway stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the beer pong table and pool area. Staying at BPL was relaxing. We didnt have to worry about a crowded hotel full of your average PCB seasonal beach goers. The house mom was sweet and sassy like an auntie we all have. Loved our stay would be awesome if they had food.

Staff was friendly. Bed was comfy. Generally fairly quiet. Floors were sticky. AC was inconsistent, temp/fan fluctuated even though it was set to ON, so I kept getting warm and cold.

Good but limited parking
Everything was okay except the parking. We checked in on a Saturday and although they advertise free parking, parking was very limited. There are more rooms than there are parking spaces. We had to park in a tow zone the first day there but eventually got to move our car to the hotels parking lot.

Hotel is extremely run down. Room was covered in sand including the bed. TV had wires hanging out of it and the whole outlet for the TV was ripped out of the wall. The shower was stained and also filled with sand. When I requested a refund the staff dismissed the idea and then continued to try to sell how great the hotel was. After working with Hotels.com I was able to get a refund for 1 night but as of writing this the hotel has not given me my security deposit back. I would not stay here unless it is absolutely necessary. STAY AWAY.

Very simple room for a terrific price. Across the street from large hotel, so short walk to public beach access and maybe 6-7 minutes to the pier. Next door to Pour, an amazing coffee shop. Weak WiFi signal from inside room.

This is the cheapest room we could find so close to the beach. I wasn’t expecting much. The front desk employee was very accommodating. We were missing towel and blankets. There had a mishap with the maids. A couple other rooms were missing towels as well but the manager came later and restocked them.
Our room was not swept but everything else seemed clean. There is no microwave but there’s a community one by the office. The outdoor space is nice, it had a lot of action going on on the front street but the community area felt safe. I’ve definitely experienced worse. But of course, better as well. For the price compared to the others is was what we needed, a safe place to sleep and shower.

Not the best
The hotel is making a lot of improvements, however it is still kinda ran down. It’s not what I expected, the only plus is it’s across the street from the beach. I would not stay here again.

The lady that checked me in was great & as I was traveling on a motor-scooter allowed my to bring my bike close to the room. This is an amazing hotel for an even better price. Near the ocean, area is a bit sketchy but didn’t have any issues as a single woman. I love that it has the old-Florida vacation vibe (high-end hotels have their perks, but I’d rather have a laid back- simple Florida hotel any day.

We had a wonderful experience. They upgraded is to their best room which has lots of space and a beautiful view. The staff was incredibly helpful.We liked it so well, we stayed 4 nights instead of 1. They are set to do some remodeling in the near future.

Place was ok. Just one sheet no blanket or comforter. Place was more appealing than your average rundown motel overall. Also no soap or shampoo in the shower. Fromt desk lady told me they recently painted them and that is why. Had to walk to a convenient store to buy soap. All in all it was a good bang for the buck.

This is a budget hotel, but the front desk lady Rena made you feel so welcome and like you were staying with family. We'll be back!

Not worth the money we spend.
Very spacious, comfortable king size beds, wine fridge and regular fridge. The floors were damaged and sticky. Liked that there were no carpets in the three rooms. No microwave or stove top, no closets. Rooms were not sound proof, very noisy day and night. Even smelled marijuana in our room from outside smoking from other guests. Toilet room too small, would have been better not to have wall around it. The controls for both TVs did not work well. Complimentary coffee. Pool & bar room.

The pictures online were not compatible with the look of the room, I was very disappointed. And also when booking they don’t tell
You the price of the deposit and if you book one reservation no matter how many rooms there is there is a separate deposit for each one which you don’t know that until you get there. The area is compact and very loud nobody has any common courtesy for their neighbors.
