The stay was between 7-10 September 2025. It was not my first time staying at the PCH. I find it a convenient place to stay. Both check-in and check-out were quick and easy assisted by friendly staff members.
My room (and bathroom/shower) was kept clean and tidy. Facilities included tea and coffee maker, fridge, microwave and TV.
The only thing that was not so great was that I was told at Check-in that the restaurant was out of service and that breakfast could be obtained from a choice of two local food outlet which were only locsted a few yards away and took less than a minute to walk to each one. Not too much of a problem but I could have done with being aware of that information via e-mail prior to my arrival. On my last morning prior to checking out, there was no water coming from my bathroom taps. Water was available about three hours after I discovered it. However It caused a delay to my departure. I did not feel the need to complain as everything worked out in the end and my shower was very nice and hot.
It was a pity thst the restaurant was unavailable as usually when I have stayed st the PCH, it has been a place where I had met with the management and more of the staff. My only concern was thst at varoius times of the days and evenings there were young men hanging around in the car park area smoking weed who I didn't believe were hotel guests. Before My stay, I recommended the PCH to a female friend who is planning on travelling alone. I may have to warn her.
