Honest opinion here. Positives: nice staff, location and amenities like fire pit, little lake area. First floor easy for dogs to go out and potty so that was nice. Nice breakfast, coffee soso. Negatives: Needs updating, ice cold pool but it is November, we think the giant bug we had in bathroom was a cockroach, pest control was there spraying the day before, floor was sticky and dirty. No dedicated dog relief area with nice grass they kept getting burs in their paws. Would we stay again probably not but is good if you travel with dogs. They are very dog friendly which is hard to find.

Very cute adequate hotel. Nice staff, clean. Great location except for the VERY loud outside bar establishment on the east side of hotel..... Bring ear plugs in case you have a room on that side.... Noise goes on past one o'clock for sure.

Does it have all the bells and whistles-no. But it’s budget friendly, clean, dog friendly (no poop no dog smell), directly across the street from the beach, prime location (directly in behind the Pensacola beach ball and pier), light continental breakfast. Perfect for a quick getaway. The black housekeeper with the swoop bang was such a happy/friendly lady with a smile on her face every morning. I love when the staff greet the guest. Con- The ac blows ice cold but it’s so loud it sounds like a tractor (knocking/humming/clicking) so loud that I never slept the 1st night. Dehumidifier makes a constant humming noise. I told them and the sent maintenance to replace. This one still made noise but not as loud. So I turned the speed to low instead of high to decrease the noise and room was still cold. Recommend central air or get the AC professionally serviced so we can get a good night sleep. Other than the AC this place is awesome and me and my furbaby will be back
