Great room, hotel amenities, WONDEFUL breakfast attendant and breakfast selection! Our location on first floor in the back facing the pool was the best. Can go bike riding just about anywhere, paddle boards, kayaks, and so much more. Great location, you can walk anywhere. Best hotel on Pensacola Beach! Did I mention they are dog friendly? Couldn't be a better hotel selection for me. I can't wait to come back!
