Clean, comfortable rooms, convenient to the city. ##### Marc ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Feb 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay and good value Mr Pete was a very pleasant host. Fun atmosphere and nice clean room. Enjoyed the Pinball and the soda machine that dispenses local beers. Will def book again. ##### Jay Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arlene Jan 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pinball machines were a lot of fun! There was a nice yard for the dogs to run around in. The owner was available and very friendly.

House is a museum of pinball machines that you can play!! Everything was spotlessly clean and light breakfast is available. I’ll definitely return. ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KimberlyHogan Jun 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We really enjoyed our stay. The pinball machines were great fun, the kitchen was well stocked with breakfast items and our host was very friendly and welcoming. Came complete with Kat the cat who was an excellent greeter but stayed outside.We loved the eclectic decor. It's a home, not a hotel and you probably will be sharing the space with others but if you're OK with that give this place a try. Would definitely stay again ##### KimberlyHogan Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allyson Jun 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had a great stay at Pinball Pete’s! He had every amenity you could think of; from coffee and creamer to a fully stocked fridge full of several types of bagels and spreads, fruit, and waffles. And don’t get me started on the pinball games, how fun!! (Elvira was my favorite.) I also enjoyed the patio to have a drink in there evening and coffee in the morning. I’ll definitely be staying here again, thank you!! ##### Allyson Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allyson Jun 11, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I stayed here one night and loved it so much I booked again! I have to add to my previous review; the fans in the bedrooms were an amazing touch! They are bulky to pack, intend to use white noise apps when traveling and it’s just not the same. The lovely touches in the comfortable bedrooms only add to the overall comfort of a home away from home experience. Thanks Pinball Pete, I will be booking again soon and many times in the future! ##### Allyson Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian Catherine Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Second time, still a charm This is our second stay, and it's just as great as before! The beds are comfy, selection of breakfast is great, the manager communicates extremely well, the games are fun, location is safe and convenient, and the old cat is very friendly. Despite what someone else said, I have never seen a cat hair or any trace of the friendly little cat anywhere inside the house. I hope my kid gets into college here, so I have an excuse to come stay here more often. lol ##### Marian Catherine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kalin May 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You will definitely want to leave aside plenty of time to actually explore the different pinball machines because there are so many—that was our mistake! Pete was very nice and knowledgeable and very passionate about the pinball machines. And the “greeter,” Kat, who was a very friendly kitty who walked over to us to say hi when we arrived, was very very adorable :) Very communicative and very detail-oriented made this experience very hospitable. ##### Kalin Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Apr 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Not for me Initially I thought it would be a great idea to stay at a place given the pinball machines and games cause I like them.. but I was aware that this may not be a good idea. The machines are quite loud so if you need some quietness and it is not as if the sleeping rooms are far from the machines, you run the risk of booking with other people who enjoy the games, and they play them and have fun. I could have dealt with that but the futon mattress or cushion was too much for me to bear. Driving 8hrs to arrive only to an uncomfortable bed, I couldn’t do it another night. Then being awaken early in the morning by pinball machines was startling and jarring. So I just left and forfeited my reservation. Some caveats: if you rent the whole house, that would probably be fun, or rent the room with a bed and not futon, or if you’re young and don’t mine late night noise or activities, then the place might suit you. For me, this wasn’t suited for me. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you so so much again!

It was a cool place that contained over 15 pinballs and other types of gains. It was close to mainstream venues, but took away in a picturesque neighborhood very peaceful and calm and safe. We enjoy being able to relax. ##### dawn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie Oct 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 100%satisfied Best bnb i have ever stayed in! ##### Carrie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian Catherine Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My favorite place to stay in the US This is the most fun place to stay that I know. The owner is responsive and friendly, the cat (who only lives outside) is so lovely. The antique pinball machine collection is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and it’s a chance of a lifetime to play. Kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfy.

While owner claims his cat is an “outdoor” pet the home interior - at least every public apace and the single room - are permeated with cat dander. If this is at all a health issue avoid this property. For persons with moderate or severe allergic responses to dander it poses a serious health problem. ##### RICHARD Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fantasy Island Beach Resort, Dive and Marina All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Roatan-Hotels-Fantasy-Island-Beach-Resort.h2479022.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Richmond](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Richmond.h25870.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Kitchener](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Kitchener.h21657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h1155964.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Marriott-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h664793.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h8199153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hyatt House Virginia Beach / Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h3827084.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Virginia Beach Waterfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Norfolk-Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Virginia-Beach-Bayfront-Suites.h40896449.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Virginia Beach North Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Suites-Virginia-Beach-North-Beach.h16268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Richmond Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Hilton-Richmond-Downtown.h2169422.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Va-Beach-Oceanfront.h5632.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Norfolk-Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h4665123.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Richmond Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Omni-Richmond-Hotel.h13817.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Virginia Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Virginia-Beach.h10166.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Greece](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Greece.d67.Hotel-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Madrid (MAD) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mad/bcn/madrid-to-barcelona) > > [Etihad Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/Etihad-Airways-Flights.cEY.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jed/toronto-to-jeddah) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ncl/toronto-to-newcastle) > > [Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fll/mco/fort-lauderdale-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lahore (LHE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lhe/toronto-to-lahore) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/sfo/edmonton-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/iah/toronto-to-houston) ### Activities > [Things to do in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Fort-Lauderdale.d601750.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Costa Mujeres Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Mujeres.d553248633894641323.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Newfoundland and Labrador Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Newfoundland-And-Labrador.d11167.Destination-Travel-Guides)
