Parking is all over the place and very little on sight. Patio door lock was a broom stick and had roaches with the lights on. Peeling paint and moldy. Staff was friendly.

The room that we stayed in was very clean and convenient for accessing the beach. However, the room had no hair dryer and we had requested a room away from the pool due to the noise but none were available at the time.

nice quiet pool, porch area nice

Room was pretty clean. Staff was great. Back of the property had quite a bit of trash in the sand dunes.

This was our first visit to Panama City Beach. My husband and I didnt know what to expect. We arrived a little early and the room was ready upon arrival. The young lady (Latoya) at the front desk warmly greeted us and made us feel very welcome. I had shared with her that I have asthma issues and wanted to be certain the room was smoke free. She reassured me that the room was a non-smoking room which was perfect! The room was clean and comfortable. Great view of the ocean from the balcony and the beach was AMAZING!!!!! All the staff here was very helpful and professional. Great budget friendly Hotel. Would highly recommend and plan to visit again!

Beach access, and cleanliness of the rooms

Great stay will definitely be coming back whenever we vacation in Panama City Beach again. The location is great we really enjoyed being able to enjoy the beach without a ton of other people around us. Beds were comfortable, and the room was not sandy at check in very great stay!

I liked that it was away from the noisy part of the strip. The beach also in this area wasn’t over crowded.

The view was outstanding! Housekeeping did a wonderful job as well.

Room was extremely clean and staff was nice but elevator definitely needs servicing feels likes it's gonna get suck when it stops and takes forever to open the door. This won't hold us back from staying there again loved it.

We like coming here, the outside is a bit rough and the property, like elevator or lights and hallways are run down. The rooms are basic, but all face the ocean. Amazing view and the windows open. You can sleep with the sound of the ocean. We will always recommend this place, but itnwould be nice if they invest a bit in the upkeep.

Great place, the view is fantastic, want to go again for a week.

very nice hotel beautiful views. Rooms clean beds comfortable.

A few gates needed repair and board walk to beach could be done better. Also water rinse showers had low pressure. I really liked the location. the room was clean and updated. Beds comfortable. Should probably put in more stable shower rod. It fell and was lose the whole time but we mad it work. Overall good stay.

Had not one problem with anything, i enjoyed my stay
