We've come to this location for 20 years and love The Penguin! Hopefully we have hot water next time
We loved the location, the staff, and the view.
Our room was Ocean View, and we never had hot water. Showers ranged from cold to luke warm.

La proximidad al mar pero también a la famosa Calle Ocean Drive.
La limpieza de la ventana por afuera, tienes una vista espectacular para tomar fotografías.

No geral o local é bom e confortável. O ponto negativo é o café da manhã e a piscina que são em outro prédio
O quarto é confortável e bem limpo.
Nas fotos parece que a piscina fica no próprio prédio, mas na verdade é a piscina do prédio de tras. Também era muito pequena e lotada, pelo fato do hotel dela ser bem maior. além…

That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

Questions about Penguin Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at Penguin Hotel?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Penguin Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Penguin Hotel?

Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.

Does Penguin Hotel have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Is breakfast included at Penguin Hotel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Penguin Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Penguin Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Penguin Hotel?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Penguin Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
