Unfortunately I am writing this review tonight the first of 4-nights. My husband tried to do something nice for the boys & I & has sent us here for the Memorial Day weekend. All the bad reviews unfortunately are true. I'm not sure if we will be able to stay here another night. I had to go buy my son... More

This hotel needs to be updated but the location can't be beat.Our balcony was great looking over the pool and the gulf. The staff were friendly, we only had one problem our TV remote was missing they brought us one right away. If you don't mind staying in an older building and room this is a great hotel for the...

I read all the reviews and I was honestly scared to stay there but took the chance anyway because it was the host site for the Triathalon which was the reason for our visit. Contrary to the reviews posted, the bedding was clean, there is a rack to hang clothes, there is a vanity for toiletries, the staff could not... More

My husband booked us an ocean view room in the hotel. After the military discount and taxes it was almost $160 for the one night we would be there. That is a bit more than I would like to pay for one night but it was Mother's Day weekend and my husband wanted us to stay somewhere nice. As we... More

PLEASE read the comments and take them seriously. Right now we are sitting in a "Gulf View" room on the second floor... Wish we had read the reviews or checked the room first... The girls at the desk were RUDE! (Should have been our first clue!). Everything in the room is damp feeling and smells moldy. There are two low... More

We were driving through Panama City Beach not intending to stay, but it was just so nice! Lots of fun things and restaurants in the area. We drove around looking for a nice little hotel on the beach, not a skyscraper, and found the boardwalk hotel. It was clean and secure! The beach was absolutely beautiful--warm water, soft white sand,... More

Please heed my warning!!! I read these reviews and went anyway. I normally stay in one star cheap motels, and I thought this couldn't be any worse. Boy was I wrong! Those motels are the Ritz compared to this place. My room was what I expect from a place that charges $50 a night not $100. The furniture was broken,... More

We stayed here for a youth conference. Our room seemed like a regular room, but a little small. Bathroom was very small. The worse part about our stay was the staff. They were so rude, and not helpful at. Pool was dirty, it had sand and seaweed in it. The food were we served at bought at a little restuarant... More

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. It is right on the beach, close walk to club La Vela, Spinnaker and other bars. Stayed with 5 friends in a small room on the first floor. Many things were missing in the room, and there was no housekeeping except for change of towels everyday. No washer and dryer... More

Booked a room at this hotel purely for Beach view, and was given a ground floor room which was just besides the swimming pool. No view. No Balcony. Smelly depleted Rooms, super small bathrooms, window blinds not working, Door locking mechanism not working, bad customer service, all in all, our entire trip was wasted because of this hotel.
