The staffs are not kind of friendly and helpful. Moreover, there is a man that might be a cleaner of the pool. He blocked the parking way and he thought it’s normal. I don’t understand!

The check in staff was awesome. Heated pool and hottub open all the time is awesome. View is awesome. Hotel is a bit dated and you can hear everything from the next room. through the walls. But a great affordable place to stay.

I stay here every time I visit which is about 4 times a year, never had issues. It’s in a great area and always super clean. The manager and front desk manager are both incredibly nice and helpful. This time our bathtub wouldn’t drain properly (wasn’t worried about it as we were leaving the next morning) and the manager immediately wanted to help and I told him it we weren’t worried about it but just wanted him to know. He thanked me and offered again to let him know if we would like to switch or have someone come look at it. Still our favorite and always affordable hotel in the area.

Nice Staff and View

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our view on the first floor overlooked the pool and beach which was very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

We booked this hotel on a whim, and liked it so much we stayed again when we drove through Panama City Beach on the way back home. The pool is clean and very warm, and the jacuzzi is the same, though unfortunately we were unable to activate the spa function, despite numerous attempts at various times of day. The access to the beach is directly past the pool, and the views from the upper floors are spectacular during sunrise and sunset. Our room was clean and as promised, but be sure to book the view you want, as rooms without a listed water view are across the street in an annex building. (Not the case for us, but worth mentioning) We stayed in a room with an included kitchen, and while the room was obviously cleaned, there was a very pungent (and unplesant) cooking odor from previous guests... This is not the fault of the hotel entirely, but it would have been nice if the room had been more aired out before our arrival, perhaps during servicing. Parking is limited and your car may be in an auxilary lot depending on your arrival time. Getting to and from the vehicle may involve crossing a busy street. Staff were friendly, and there was coffee in the lobby whenever we wanted it, including flavored creamers. Tea selection was limited. Ultimately, this is a great stay for a little beach getaway.

Ms. Jackson Extended family! 🌹

Hands down by far if I can give it more than 5 stars, I definitely would. I’ve been here a few weeks and I feel like I’m family. Glenn and Tony are top notch when it comes to their jobs. Staff is on point and attentive.

The riom we stayed in had mold in the bathroom. Neighbors were smoking enough through the day where is seeped into our room and lingered. The room next to us after it was cleaned you could see theough the window and the boxapeing sheet still had bood on it. The indoor pool area not paid attention to by staff, because there were bloody tissue beside pool.
