Fun family trip

Room was great we had a view of the pool really enjoyed being so close to everything and the kayaks. Kids loved it. We got to walk to the beach with low tide and look for sea shells. Only things I didn’t like was we were there two nights and only had 3 towels. Luckily I always buy towels for trips. They never cleaned the room, sand was all over the floor from our trips. I couldn’t figure out the ice machine (don’t travel often)

Area around the hotel is nice - convenient to the beach and high traffic tourist areas. The little interaction we had with the staff was fine. However, our room was absolutely disgusting. It was beyond dirty. Our bathroom had significant amount of mold growing on the wall behind the door, the shampoo/conditioner bottles had so much mold and mildew on the outside and on the bottle holders themselves. I doubt they had ever been wiped down properly. Clumps of dust and hair in the bathroom. Our floor was beyond dirty. The refrigerator defrosted in the middle of the night and leaked all over the floor which seems to be a common occurrence since the wood is warped. It was incredibly disappointing. We would not stay here again.

Online Photos are Deceiving

The online photos are deceiving. The hotel isn’t as nice as it appears in the photos. The outdoor is very dated and is in desperate need of a renovation. The inside isn’t much better. It has cheap, poor quality renovation. The bathroom is very tight, the bathroom door has a hole at the bottom that looks like it was developed from a flood. The ceilings are very stained with leaks and are very off putting. The hotel appears clean at first glance, but the floors are filthy. My child spilled some water 2 minutes after we checked in and I used a white towel to clean up the spill. I was horrified to see the towel immediately turn black. The beds were also uncomfortable. Another disappointing factor was that the hotel doesn’t provide an iron and ironing board. Thank goodness we were only spending one night at that hotel, otherwise I probably would have immediately checked out.

This is in a great location. Shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Across the street is the beach. Facility offers bikes and kayaks. Clean rooms. Most amazing feature of this hotel is the staff. They are extremely friendly and really want you to enjoy your staff. Good breakfast. Elizabet hustles to get breakfast trays full, but does it with a smile that makes you feel welcome. Really love this place

The lady that helped serve breakfast the best. She was by herself and worked so hard to make sure everyone had what they needed.

Additional Charges Added

For the most part we enjoyed our stay. The thing that was off-setting is that we were charged $10 a night parking fee, which we weren't aware of when booking the room - so that was an additional $30.00 that we hadn't planned for. The room was clean; the bed was comfortable but the TV was challenging and didn't come with instructions on how to access channels. We just stumbled through it until we were able to figure it out. The first night that we were there, we lost electricity for two hours and no reason was given as to why - car accident maybe?

Perfect location and economical

This property was wonderfully located. The main Pensacola Beach area was across the road with a safe cross walk. You can walk to restaurants/bars within a couple blocks. It was relaxed and the staff was friendly. If you want a base to work from it was perfect. If you want to lounge in the hotel it was adequate.

And directly across the street from PCola beach. Easy walk. Great restaurants... the bar next door was a bit noisy but we just left the ac fan on and it drowned it out. WE absolutely loved loved it
