The service and friendliness from the employees was awesome. The hotel was very rundown and it smelled of urine outside. I didnt sleep there as i was partying all night at the free concert across the street and then had to catch a flight. The free bicycles, paddleboards and kayaks is an awesome touch. I took out a kayak and paddled around the bay for a bit checking out the boats and stopped at the liquor store and paddled back. It was extremely relaxing. The location cant be beat. The price was great and the service is by far better than the big hotels with front desk staff that seem to be always mad. I did not try the breakfast as i left at 3 am. The beds were pretty springy and rundown. I would stay again but would stop and grab a mattress topper at Walmar and still saved 1000.00 and had access to all the free amenities had i known about them sooner. Ill be back for that southern hospitality.

Staff was excellent. She was so nice. Property has been updated and is great. Cons I didn't like was rm 138 door is sticking and makes it hard to get open and closed. No iron or ironing board. Perfect view of the bay and an awesome small beach area. Depending on wind they have kayaks and paddle boards. If the wind is over 10 no activities. If a storms brewing winds will be high but it felt so good. Nice little place. Will visit again.

The day of arriving was great was excited getting to the room and seeing coloring around the beach. Until my partner and I got to the room and were getting everything situated later in the bed and I noticed there were something crawling it was multiple tiny ants crawling on the bed. We walked down to the front desk and notified the worker she didn’t feel really sorry but got us a different room on the top floor was originally on the bottom floor before even getting in the room we noticed there was two queen beds what we did not pay for. So we went back down and notified her and she said that is all that is left. So I asked her if we could get the original room back if the beds were changed she said someone already went in and changed them and saw only 2-3 ants I said okay whatever we will get it back but no way in history someone could change a bed sheet that quick in the midst of 5 minutes. My partner and I walked back up and looked at the bed again and it was the same sheets not one person came up to change anything. So at that point we cleaned the sheet that the bugs were on and dealt with it. I also have pictures and videos of the bugs crawling on the bed. Room 118 was the room that had the bugs.

Pluses: Great friendly staff, good breakfast variety, plenty of hot water, very nice comfortable pool area, ice very plentiful and convenient, plus ample parking. Minuses: Loud air conditioning, mattresses need up dated, refrigerator kept freezing our drinks, and it would have been nice to have more room lighting.

We needed a place to stay for one night in Pensacola. We chose this hotel and were not disappointed! We walked across the street to the beach and pier in the morning which was amazing! They have a nice pool and fire pit area at the hotel! Our room was clean and the ac worked very well! We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we are ever back in Pensacola.

Overall our experience was great kat was amazing and always eager to help us with our adventures in the bay with a smile!!! I didnt catch the young lady who checked us in but on 9/19/25 after 6 pm the lady who greeted us was very welcoming and above and beyond friendly. There was one instance where the front desk refused to give us a clean towel to my husband and i was laready in the shower she said we had to return the old ones, every other day they were fine with us leaving them at the door for the week and would happily give us new ones. We only utilized house keeping 1 time in our weeek stay. So that was a bit frustrating but overall the rest of the saff were kind and friendly the breakfast was good and we would visit again.
