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.

The pool was green the entire stay and cloudy. By Sunday there was no way anyone was getting in it. There’s a tiny tv and the room is bare. Only a sheet. The staff was great but the property leaves alot to be desired.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
We had a good time at this establishment. The rooms were fairly clean but lacked usable garment storage during our stay. The air conditioner above our room was dripping water on to the entry door to our room. This was very aggravating. All-in-all, the office personnel and staff were very friendly and helpful, but the repairs done to fix the air conditioning, were substandard, effective, but not correct.

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.

The front desk worker was nice and let us check in early. It’s very confusing on how to get in and find your room as you have to walk down a dingy hallway to get in. The room was alright. The TV was a size of a computer monitor so I wasn’t a fan.. the only thing that saved the trip for me was how comfortable the bed was! Also. Make sure to bring your own comforter as you only get a top sheet, no blanket. Overall, it was alright just for the night but this wouldn’t be my top choice. Just thankful it was in walking distance to the beach!
