Laurel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Was a very nice stay. You are right in the middle of the things so on a Saturday night it can be a bit loud, but actually most of the street noise is blocked out up in the rooms. The attached restaurant is a bit pricey compared to what is available right outside the hotel, but that is always true I guess. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.

Everything was great about this place, only thing is there was a decent amount of mold in the bathroom in my room. So just be cautious of that if you plan on staying here. I think it's due to the fact that the bathroom doesn't have a fan or ventilation, outside of the door being left open.

Great Location with major Road Noise
Great location and staff. Although be prepared for loud road noise all day and most of the night. For the price, there is no breakfast or even coffee included. The restaurant has good food at US prices. PV is no longer an inexpensive vacation. Best thing is the malacon is just a one minute walk.
