frenche student need helop to find a hotel!

hi everyone!

My friends and I are in the US for the spring semester and are planing on coming down to PCB for the spring break since we've heard it's one of the best place to party (?) !


I'd like to know what is the best place to be at PCB? is there like ONE best place, or are the partys all over the place?
I'd also like to know what hotels would be the best to stay, knowing that we all are under 25, and if possible not too expensive =)

thanks a lot for your help!

Gilles.
PS: sorry for posting this on several forums, i don't really know where to post it!

If you haven't found a place to stay yet, let me know, I can help you find something.

The best places to stay are the following:
Summit, Boardwalk, Days Inn, Paradise Palms, Holiday Inn Sunspree, Chateau Motel

Right now, because we are only less than 2 months away, prices are getting expensive... so you'll need to book asap... prob before Feb if you still want something somewhat cheap.

thank you for help, from what I've seen Boardwalk seems the best (cheap and nice location)

which one would you have chosen personnally?

any more tips about the choice of the hotel?

thanks

edit:
well we have seen that boardwalk was a very bad choice concerning cleaning (roach pbs) so we were thinking of paradise palms, is it a good choice concerning the location, nearby the parties?

Boardwalk, to me, is kind of expensive... but it's really up to you and how much you're willing to spend.

well, we're thinking about 400-500/person for a week! since we also have to pay for the travel and alcool!

i would say that the location is one of the most important fact for us!

Well Days Inn is like $177 a night.....im only staying for a short while so its pretty cheap for me and my crew. Most of the fun happens close to the Boardwalk hotel but really you can have fun and go crazy almost anywhere on the strip/beach.

Heard Days Inn was a 15 minute drive from the boardwalk area.

boardwalk condos are supposed to be nicer than the hotel rooms and probably going to work better for your budget so check them out probably vrbo is your best bet...not too many left at this point though...

Boardwalk is a good choice....This is my 6th time to PCB for spring break and I have never once heard of Paradise Palms being mentioned as a good place for spring break. Where is it even at?? I'm not being rude I'm just wondering what makes the place so good

Well I stayed there last year. It's right next to Days Inn. They are sister hotels. Paradise has a really tight pool with waterfall by it's main pool. That's prob how it got it's name. I had no prob with the hotel at all and it was my first time to PCB. I liked it there. That's what makes it good. :]

hey!

thanks for all the answers!
i've been looking for the Boardwalk condos, but it seems like they won't let you check-in if you're under 25!
have you heard about these issues?

Any places that won't care about the age? We are 3 friends and only one we'll be 21, the other two only 20 years!

thanks a lot for your help everyone
