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.

Secluded getaway on Florida Gulf Coast

Impeccable and friendly service that went the extra mile, e.g. a call to my airline to ensure that they wouldn't "forget" to deliver my delayed luggage. Facilities very clean and comfortable, location is perfect for those wanting a quieter get-away.

Terrific Experience

From the very start our experience was so far above average. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and informative. Upon learning that I was a previous resident of Pensacola, she gave me a very cheerful and sincere "Welcome Home", and then quickly got us settled into our rooms. She also set about helping us to register for additional savings and offers from Holiday Inn,... even going so far as to fill out most of the paper-work herself while we got some much needed sleep. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. All of the hotel staff were very friendly and seemed to really want to go that "extra mile" to make sure our stay was as relaxed and carefree as possible. (it was) I appreciate so much the effort that the staff put forth, and I know now that from this point forward,... I will no longer feel the need to shop around for a place to stay the next time I'm in Pensacola. Thanks very much for such a great experience, and for the great memory.

Be sure to stop by Peg Leg Pete's oyster bar. Just turn left out of the parking lot and drive a short distance from the hotel,... or if you're looking for a really neat place with a great selection of some of Pensacola's favorite dishes, make a right hand turn out of the parking lot, and drive the short distance to Flounders.
