On arrival, the staff greeted us nicely and assisted with our baggage. Unfortunately the check in staff was unpleasant at the desk. We were told the room wouldnt be ready for 1 hour, eventually another staff member came by and took us up to our room as they were just finishing the floor.
Yes the hotel is old and dated, but the room matched the photos and we expected it to be a bit dated. The location is amazing, easily accessible to everything. The beach is nice, however the beach chairs are not comfortable as are the pool chairs, but again it is a budget hotel. Towels are provided each day and returned by the end of the day for no charge. The pool worked well for us, some days was busier than others but overall we enjoyed it.
We ended up getting a Jr suite with our booking, so we were lucky to have a fridge. We had talked to some other guests who didn't have a fridge but they were able to find a Styrofoam cooler and ice for their drinks.
We didnt eat at the restaurant, and heard from other guests to avoid it. In a pinch it might be an okay option to eat.
We would definitely stay again if we are in PVR
