The cutest boutique hotel

I absolutely adored the aesthetic of this hotel. However, the lack of decorum and professionalism has convinced me to not book another stay.

Gulfport weekend

Air conditioner could use a cleaning in room 12 I'm assuming that's why it couldn't keep up with the heat outside during our stay. Wifi was very weak as well. Maybe it's because of the building. Otherwise, everything else was great. Staff was very friendly, the bed was comfy, room was very clean, towels were high quality. Great location near a bunch of nice eateries.

Front desk “thought we weren’t here” and decided to come in our room and supposedly look for a charger a previous guest left in the room. Totally not cool. We have been checked in for 22 hours and easy for OUR stuff to come up missing. We even had our do not disturb tag on the door. Also, you hear all the hallway noise from inside your room. Decently nice looking place but not if you want PEACE and QUIET.

Be prepared to pay for everything.

Check-in was difficult and different payments were coming off my card that wasn't authorized, and we tried to have the issue rectify but it kept happening. That issue dampen our stay, so this might be our last time staying at the Vela Hotel.
