Overall Ratings & Reviews Banana Peel Lodge

Good for the price. Staff is nice and friendly. Pool is open all night . Close to shops and pier.

Terrible. We are from Tennessee and stayed here for 2 hours. Absolutely a nightmare. Needless to say the fire marshall and code enforcement paid them a visit. The owner lady was super nice but no blankets on the beds and apparently this happens to all guests, ant infestation, refrigerator broken and food spoiled, door wouldn’t close to lock, extension chords running through the floor because outlets didn’t work and sparks fly when you plug in phone, etc. and pool was green and unusable. No parking!!! Please be aware this is not just a hotel it’s a bar!!!! They also told me I would be refunded but then wouldn’t answer the request from Expedia! Luckily I was still in town and went to the office and videoed the owner and pleaded with her and she accepted the refund request immediately. Please note you will have to pressure them to receive a refund!!! I would submit pictures but it won’t let me!!!! No lights worked in our unit. It was the suite #143. Terrible!!!!!

We stayed here for 2 nights as our halfway mark home from a trip in the keys. Positives: staff is very nice & it’s right across the street from beach access so you get that closeness without paying beachfront prices. Negatives … it’s more of a rundown motel vibe and the other guests tracked with that. Drunk parents with screaming baybay kids in the pool all hours of the night, the room was absolutely disgusting. And there are no blankets. Like, they only make the beds with a fitted and flat sheet. Never seen that before. All the furniture at the pool is broken. It does have an outside shower to rinse off when you get back from the beach so that’s good. It definitely needs a deep clean though. There is not kitchen in the unit so I was very surprised to find a frying pan in the bathroom but the more I looked around, the less surprised I was. lol.

Absolutely mortified with the service this hotel provides

i enjoyed my stay other than the delayed check in but the staff was very kind and the room was very nice. i would definitely recommend this hotel to others

It’s chap for a reason

We booked this hotel based on the photos and location of the hotel. The hotel was nothing as advertised on your site. I am going to send photos and request a refund. He pool was green and couldn’t be used, water stains on the ceiling and countless roaches. I need a refund.

Couldn't sleep. Noisy at 1am -3am. Never got towels after I asked 3 times kindly.

Noisy. People outside of rooms all night and day. Pool did not work the entire stay. Was given towels one time when returning the others was told “none are clean” every time and we stayed 3 nights. Broke glass all over the walking area to the rooms. The outside furniture did not even have cushions aside from a broke down couch lounge and a couple chairs around the pool that we could not use. I deliberately stayed her due to prior reviews but I have no idea how they are accurate. On the plus no bed bugs

The location was nice. But the room for the price. First off waited longer for a room. Then got the room and there was no light in the ceiling, no microwave, no coffee maker, and one hand towel. Then the bedding consider of a fitted sheet and flat sheet. No ice maker and for it to be in a great location let just say ghetto sums it up. First night someone walked up to us asking us if we were in a certain room… watched and listen to women arguing. Second night it was a couple arguing upstairs. It was just not a place that as a mother I would want my kids to be again. There was a woman walking around half naked like a woman of the night. Grown man screaming in the pool. It just wasn’t my best experience. But I see most people say you get what you pay for. I need to know there price per night lol. 300 a night I expect a lot more then that.

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.

The pool was very green, and parking was very limited. Other than that, we actually had a wonderful stay! The beds were way more comfortable than some high end hotel beds. This location is conveniently located to everything you need.

Customer Service

Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The room looked nothing like the pictures advertised online — it felt like we had walked into a completely different place. When we arrived, we discovered there were no blankets, no soap, and not even a toilet paper holder in the bathroom. We asked the front desk for blankets and were told they would bring them, but no one ever followed through, which made our stay even more uncomfortable. The floors looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in ages, and there was only one usable outlet near the bed— very inconvenient for charging devices or using any electronics. We expected at least the basic necessities and a clean, functional space, but unfortunately, those expectations were not met. Overall, we were very dissatisfied with our visit and would not recommend this hotel to others.

We stayed here for one night in the quadruple room. We were told that there were 4 queen beds but there was 3 queen beds and a set of bunk beds. You can tell they are updating the room but half of the outlets and lights did not work. We saw a few baby roaches. The floors were dirty. We liked the table in the kitchen area and the sitting room. The pool area was nice but nothing like the pictures. The patio furniture was missing cushions.

It needs major updates. The staff were nice. You have to cross the street to get to the beach which was close

I would mark this as inhabitable. We did not stay here and I paid $282.75 on Expedia and $94 when arriving to the Lodge for a 2 bed options as my dad and step mom chose

Comfortable. Great location

Safe location beach access clean big rooms and the staff was friendly

Booked a double queen with bunk beds with Hotels.com, received a double queen. After being on the phone for 3 hours hotels told me it was my fault for looking at the pictures instead of reading fine print. Myself and 4 others had to sleep in two beds, the entire area was booked for my dates. The hotel refused to clean rooms and only gave fresh towels if i called the desk. I had to get a broom and clean myself. They will bring a garbage bag but wont change the garbage. The pool was cloudy and had hair and fake grass and lint floating in it. Just a huge petri dish. Ive stayed here for 7 years but the new owners ruined it. Flat old dirty pillows but a hard brand new mattress. You get a sheet on your bed but if you ask for a blanket you get a throw. Lighting is very poor inside. Wifi froze every few minutes so watching tv was impossible without my hotspot for the roku. No microwave. I travel a lot but will never use hotels again and wont stay at this property. The only good thing about it was decent air conditioning, no bugs and hot showers.
