Excellent stay, we were pleased with the service and amenities the hotel provided! It was super clean, and they have hardwood floors which were clean. The rooms overall were up to my standard and clean.The property is beautifully renovated within 10 minutes from the beach. The general manager helped us plan our trip and gave us the best places to eat and beach locations we should visit while we were in town. Definitely will stay here during our next trip!
We had a very good stay, two days, everything was clean and in working order. Very quiet, no problems with parking, other guests. There was a pool, soda machine, vending machine. The front doors to each room face outside versus an interior hallway, which we favor. I actually preferred staying here versus the overpriced hotel rooms by the crowded and noisy beach boulevard ten miles away. Husband is a disabled combat veteran, does not like crowds or noise. This is a good budget hotel room, has smoking & non smoking rooms, we stayed on the second floor. There are no elevators FYI. Our room had great air conditioning, microwave, refrigerator, bathtub/shower combo. My husband liked that each bed had three comfy pillows. We slept very well despite a Tropical Storm moving in during our stay. There is a McDonald’s nearby for breakfast, a Mexican restaurant across the street, gas stations nearby. FYI THERE IS A $60 CASH DEPOSIT REQUIRED THAT WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT DESTROY YOUR HOTEL ROOM. We would stay here again in the future.

The lady at the front desk was very nice. Check in was quick and the room has a King bed. The room was stocked with clean linens, soap, shampoo, coffee, bucket with liner for ice. There is a vending area with soda, ice, and snacks. The pool is very nice! This is a nice pet friendly hotel located near multiple restaurants, right in town. We are at the hotel staying a couple nights as we evacuated Jacksonville due to hurricane Milton. We live in an rv and decided to play it safe with a couple day mini vacation in Panama City.
I was in the throws of a real life drama and was there for put of town. The hotel was remarkable! And the ladies up front did everything they could to make sure i was okay! Great place!
Day 2 and my stay has been thhhheee BEST EVER! They are so professional at the office and so caring. They were busy and still give you kind service. During this visit I've only saw the same 3 people and they have been outstanding. Our room was also cleaned/given new towels etc while I was away. Thanks for checking on that as well, I definitely appreciate it. My room was prefect for me and my kids(toddlers). I will be staying here again. Oh and the kids loved the pool yesterday.
