The property allowed us to be directly on the beach, which was super convenient. It was nice, clean, and well maintained. The staff were lovely. There is a daily parking fee that is not included in the booking, which was the only thing I didn't like. I feel as if extra costs should be mentioned prior to the booking. That's the only reason for the 4 star rating. I would still definitely book here again.

Absolutely perfect! Hotel not too big or overly crowded, 7 floors only. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms very spacious. Breakfast buffet, although you pay $14.99 pp, was excellent. Covered parking, you do pay $11.00 per night for, but worth it. My last stay at the Phoenix did not have covered parking. We got caught in that big hail storm, not one car went undamaged. Beach area not over crowded and we went last week of June. Only complaint, pool could be larger.

The breakfast was awesome! The customer service was great! The room amenities not so great! Coffee maker was broken...locked my purse in the safe and it malfunctioned. Had to call maintenance to get it out. Parking was expensive and breakfast was pricey but well worth it if you eat a lot. Wanted an ocean view. Received a partial view with a messed up side of tge property tgat looked likexa leftover hurricane destruction. Think we will try another place in the future.

The hotel was as advertised. It's 8 stories, lobby is on the 4th floor. They have a very adequate and delicious breakfast that is affordable. The beach was very close and easy to access as well as being very clean. They do charge for almost everything extra but that is to be expected these days. The staff was terrific and we actually plan on staying again on our next trip.

Overall, no real complaints and we enjoyed our brief stay. However, be aware some of the “gulf view” rooms are accurate if you are sitting at an angle and looking around the wall to see the gulf. Not a deal breaker for us.

Hotel is being remodeled and will be very nice when done. Our issue was with check in. The women had really long nails and took forever to type things and do things. We booked 2 queen beds. She gave us a single double in a room with brand new fridge and microwave that still had the heavy duty tape on them and shrink wrap. She acted like that was no big deal. The advertised bar isn’t functioning but it is advertised.

We had a great time here. The customer service was amazing. Kara and Angel at the front desk were top notch!!! The room and hotel were spotless. We originally tried for a condo for the kitchen but the fridge in the room was great and THE PIZZA was AMAZING!! I do not typically eat pizza (why I wanted the kitchen) but oh man it was so worth it. I would definitely stay again and hope to see Kara at the desk!!
