Liked: Staff & service
The hotel was close and convenient to everything. Actual beach takes a drive and a walk but both are easy. Beds were ok. Rooms were nice and felt safe. Could have been cleaner. Large stains on the blind, mold on the bathroom wall etc. Pool area was small but nice. Again, could have been cleaner. (Guest could have helped by cleaning up after themselves!) Cigarette butts, cups, cans, wet towels...this was all at 10 am. Hotel seemed to be completely booked as the parking lot was always full and there were always friendly people coming and going. Parking was not an issue. Hotel breakfast was very nice. Staff was always extrememly pleasant at all times. If we are back in the Pensecola Beach area, we would stay again.

Pensacola is the best

Every year I come to Pensacola I stay at this hotel. Its convenient to everything we love to do while we are on vacation. This hotel provides so many extra free services like bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, and even a bag of ice if you need it for a day at the beach. You can watch the sun rise from the 4th floor and watch the sunset down at there bay side behind the pool. The beach and the peir is just a walk across the street. This will always be our vacation spot every year.

It was a great stay. The pool area was exceptional. We could see it from our balcony. It looked like a great place to hang out with friends or with children. Our view was great. We could see the gulf even though the hotel does not have beach access. We could walk to restaurants, ice cream and souvenir shops and the beach. Great place.

Could've Take It After 2 Nights

This is a hard one. The photos of this hotel do not accurately show it as it actually is. The pluses are the front desk staff. They were very nice and helpful. The property has a very cute little private beach area, pool and playground but they weren't kept clean very well. The bed was comfortable but the room was dirty, towels were not very clean and had hair in them. The weather was very humid and the choice was to keep the room very cold otherwise the floor, surgace space would become wet with pools of water collecting all over the floor. Our clothes, towels, sheets felt damp all the time. We left for a different property after 2 nights as we could not stand the room anymore. It is more of a motel with outside walks so lots of noise. We suffered from cigarette smoke as the people below us lined their chairs on the walkway and smoked a lot. This place could be made into something special with the little beach, pool, playground but it has to be cleaned often and consistently. Some sort of dehumidifiers of a commercial level needs to be installed in the guest rooms.

The lady serving breakfast this tuesday and thursday offered excellent services. Friendly, informative, diligent. She also spoke multiple languages and communicated with guests in guests' languages. She even made waffles for customers and brought waffles to them once made, when she had spare times. We enjoy that special services!
