This hotel is one step above a roadside motel in the backwoods of W. Virginia and a below a Motel 6. There was mold around the shampoo and conditioner dispensers, a weird (likely old blood) stain in one of the comforters, and the walls hiad streaks of dirt where the towel racks were. The walls were so thin that conversations in neighboring rooms could be clearly heard in my room. I dried up some water that i had dripped on the floor and tje towel came up black. It was so bad tjat i didnt stay the entirety of my prepaid booking.

The room we stayed in (228) overlooked the Bay side, pool & fire pit area! It was spotless & the bathtub/shower curtain specifically was brand new & exceptionally clean. Bath & sink areas had auto dispenser soaps, shampoo/conditioner & hand lotion. The room had a mini fridge that actually worked great & kept drinks super cold! Also has a microwave & mini k cup coffee machine with two coffees & two decafs with go cups, sugars, etc. Standard (but tastee) free continental breakfast (7:30-9:30) Cute surf decor & they offer free bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards for customers This hotel is an older hotel with an exterior entry design but they have refurbished this property very recently! All Pensacola Beach attractions are literally across the street, including the famous Pensacola pier. *for family members that can’t walk far or easily, we saw a gentleman on our property at one point that offered golf cart rides to attractions for tips. Ask management about this service though as he came inside & got coffee while we were there but I don’t know that he worked for the hotel specifically
