The breakfast and the free kayak and bicycle rentals were amazing! The location was prime and the staff was very nice and amenable. The breakfast was more than you could ask for with coffee and water all day long. If we ever had a problem or needed more towels, we were taken care of right away!

Room ok but floor was sticky. Soap dispenser at sink did not work. Dispensers in shower were filthy-we would not even use them. Bathroom door was water damaged and needs to be replaced or repaired. Not what we expected for the amount we paid for the room. Dissatisfied and disappointed. We left a day early.

Perfect location. It’s right across the street from Pensacola beach. The hotel has water access to The Sound (canal that leads into the Pensacola Bay). We really enjoy the free bikes, paddle boards and kayaks that the hotel offers.

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.
