We had a wonderful time and The Buccaneer will be the motel we always stay at when we go down. We loved that it was super pet friendly and right on the bay. We found more Sand Dollars out in the Bay then we did on the actual beach. The only thing I hated was that they do not have... More

Old fashioned hotel. Not a chain & that's what I like about it. Very friendly front staff & very affordable. Perfect if you have little ones. You can relax on the little private beach & let them play in the shallow water & on the pirate ship playground without fear of them getting away from you. Definitely going back!

The location is good and rates are reasonable. Rooms are very outdated which would be OK but there was toothpaste spattered on bathroom mirror, soap scum in tub area (wife refused to bath or shower the one night we were there) and some kind of sticky stuff dripped on dresser. Front desk people were friendly but wouldn't recommend a local... More

First of all I will tell you I'm a travel agent. Second of all I will tell you had we not had a non refundable rate I would have bolted for one of the other hotels that we passed as we came into town. The one good thing I can say about this place, the heat works great as it... More

It was late and my GPS told me that this was the Days Inn. We were tired so we stopped. Mistake. The room was horrible. The bed was not comfortable. The beach view was horrible. I couldn't access the internet. People were partying all night long.

You can't visit the area without hearing a dozen commercials for this place on the radio "And try world famous Chef De Marco's Philly steak sandwich!" We stayed only briefly. The hotel is fine enough for the price but as another traveler pointed out cavet emptor - you pay a non refundable price then you get to see the room.... More

Not the experience you want for your vacation. Warning bells should go off when you are told that your deposit and payment for rooms is non refundable. Toilet chain breaks, white towels are grey, fear of roaches, hollow walls you can hear through... The lowest grade furnishings possible for your money .

To my knowledge, this place is the only hotel in downtown PCB, and it's the only one we know of in that area on the water. There is a pier where pontoon boats are offered, and a decent pool. We are pretty flexible on rooms, and very tired, so we didn't fight much on the price, or the quality of... More
