One of our best most comfortable stays. It is a older motel. Rooms have been updated but nothing fancy, and are neat and comfortable. We had a suite and it was larger than really needed newer flooring, and had more room space than we needed in the room. Nice larger refrigerator and microwave. Very convenient to every thing. We stayed 6 days and enjoyed pool also. Would definitely stay again.

We were there for one week wish the housekeeping would have changed the sheets and brought new towels and swept the floor. At least once during our stay would have been nice. All in all was a very nice place to stay. Would stay there again. Very good rates also

Do better!

First time at this location we were in town to enjoy a beach trip. The ppl at the front desk where some what friendly but not much. They didn't speak much when you came in or out. On the last day of our stay I noticed that we needed towels I remember seeing the workers in the hall that morning and I thought they had cleaned up and brought fresh towels but upon calling the front desk I was told they dont do that. We were looking to get a shower before hitting the road I was told we had to bring all the towels and rags to the front desk to get more then was told by front desk there where no more!!! We had been to the beach everyday there was sand everywhere wet and wet towels. This hotel is a bit pricey to be having all this going on. To top it off they dont service breakfast either. When I was checking out the heavy set guy on 7/20 at 11:30 ish he didnt speak he didnt ask how my stay was or nothing! The bed are hard and uncomfortable! The pillowcases smelled liked they hadn't been wased in days! The guy at the front desk also told me they only clean linen every seven days. So if you're stay is longer than that everyday you gotta walk your wet towels and rans to the front desk to get more and on the 7th day they will clean your room and so called change the sheets! That absurd! Needless to say this was my first time in Pensacola and wont be my last but will definitely be my last at this hotel! Ive been in worst hotels with breakfast and A-1 customers service. Honest review!
