A very nice hotel

The location is wonderful. The room was very clean and the view from the balcony was great. All rooms are gulf view. The continental breakfast was tasty and filling. The staff was friendly and very willing to suggest restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay there again.

fall mini-vacation

Enjoyed a bookend weekend for a wedding held next door at Margaritaville Hotel. Half the cost with the same view. Gulf view with small balcony. Slept with the door open and enjoyed the waves. Beach was groomed very well. Cushions out early. Not many people on the beach. A nice place for a quiet reprive.

July 4th weekend at Holiday Inn Express

Great experience, all staff was friendly and helpful, beach was wonderful and you had privacy. Our room was very clean and all views are beachside! Would definitely go back, and i travel quite a bit on business. On this trip, i flew my wife down for the 7-4 weekend...we want to do it again next year!

Awesome place to stay!!!

Our stay at this hotel was great!! All of the staff were very friendly and polite. The pool was clean, which is not always the case at the hotels we stay at. We all had an awesome time, especially our daughter. Would definitely stay here again.

Above and beyond my expectations

I've stayed here once before and that is why I had to return, all the rooms face the beach and that is a plus plus for me. The staff make you feel as though you are the only one staying there, they remember your name (most of the time), the rooms are always clean, and it is ideally located to lots of fun shops and restaurants. I would dearly love to keep this place my little secret, but their busy as they could hope to be.

My advice to anyone traveling to Pensacola for the first time would be to break away and visit downtown Pensacola and all the history and great restaurants located in the old Spanish area

Great get away location

Hotel was modern, very clean, and the staff was exceptionally helpful and polite. located right on the beach it was great for my 18-year old daughter and I to spend lots of time on a private and pristine beach. Food and shopping was a 15 - 25 minute walk, but it was worth it. Hotel porter would drive us if we requested.
