Great value for the money!! This hotel is a gem. The rooms are outdated, however, the location is unbeatable. It is right there at the beach and walking distance to Pensacola Beach wharf. It offers complementary breakfast, bikes, kayaks and boards. It has a pool and its own little beach. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I want to give special mention to Elizabeth. She has excellent customer services and makes sure everybody is comfortable and well taken care off.
Little own beach with beach chairs and place to take off your kayak or board.

Phenomenal facility location staff and breakfast! I could not be any happier with this stay and I see no need to stay in another hotel unless you want to be absolutely beachfront. In that case go Fairfield Marriott. However, this awesome retro motel checks every box and has great HVAC, fridge microwave and an actual Keurig in the room not the cheap paper pouch kind. Plus half the price of the big boys. Bring an ahDMI cable and laptop to TV to watch Netflix. They aren't smart TV. Small price to pay for the savings! Staff was AMAZING!!!!
