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.

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.
