If this review is helpful, please make sure you leave it a like 👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽. I stayed at this hotel just 1 night. I was there on business in Pensacola. Beautiful beach and the view from the balcony is lovely. They have a nice facility. The room was spacious. It takes a little while for the water to warm up in the shower. But you do get good hot water pressure, and the bed was nice and firm. I would stay here again. Hopefully for longer the next time.

We have stayed here three years in a row and love it. The staff is friendly and helpful and there are plenty of things to do to keep kids busy! We will continue to come back! Shout out to Shane for making our last day by the pool a great one!

What a beautiful hotel. We stayed for a full week and had an amazing time. The views alone were awesome. We stayed on the 11th floor and had a view of the bay. The backside of the hotel had a beach view as well as an amazing pool with a lazy river and two hot tubs. The hotel offers dining including breakfast (not free), full bar, coffee shop and ice cream. It looks as if there’s an outside bar too but it wasn’t open the entire length of our stay. They have a small store as well for any missing items you need. Service members we encountered were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The beds and pillows comfortable. With a fridge, microwave and coffee maker it made the room feel more comfortable as well. While we did hear a little noise in the mornings ( kids etc) it honestly wasn’t too bad. Made service was good and rooms cleaned daily. I honestly can’t wait to stay again. The area is full of walkable shops, restaurants, near the pier and boardwalk. You can’t beat it. It is also within minutes of downtown, dolphin tours and of course the beach. If looking to stay here while visiting family at the base it’s only about 20 or a bit more minutes away. Very easy to get to everything.
