Nice hotel in a beautiful setting. The beach is at your door and (this time of year at least) offers gorgeous sunsets. Staff was very friendly. The room was clean and well appointed. The continental breakfast is better than most. The only things I would fault them is somehow the prices shown on Google Maps don’t match the real price and they charge $21.00 per day plus tax to park.

Stayed here for one night wish I could stay longer. This hotel has everything bad super comfy pillow is perfect. The view is absolutely amazing. Best part of my stay though. Was getting a chance to talk with the front desk man named Cardinal. Very knowledgeable. Absolutely helpful in every which way make sure when you go in. You say hi. Great great guy. Definitely be back.

Clean, fresh, modern and friendly. I was very impressed with the upscale property for reasonable prices. Paid parking across the street with skywalk access to the hotel. Balcony rooms over looking the Gulf. Was surprised at the size of the room. Comfortable pillows and bed for a restful sleep. Woke up to see dolphins swimming down the shoreline. The free breakfast was delicious with lots of options. Definitely a great pet friendly property and I hope to go back soon

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start each day. All of the amenities worked perfectly and were clearly well maintained, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The front desk staff were truly outstanding—on my first night there was a small mix-up, but the lady at the desk handled it immediately with kindness and professionalism, even though I was admittedly a bit frustrated at first. Her calm and helpful approach set the tone for the rest of my stay. The location is unbeatable—you can actually see dolphins right from the beach, and the water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming. Between the excellent service, well-kept facilities, and beautiful surroundings, this hotel exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

LOVED our stay! They are pet friendly and our two pups had a great time. We had a gorgeous view and it was an easy walk to the dog beach. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much for the hospitality! (And the waffles were excellent!) Close to restaurants where we could eat on the patio. Perfection.

The location of this hotel cannot be beat. Oceanfront with an expansive beach, and the pool area is top notch h, extremely well maintained and the deck clean. The rooms would get 5 stars if there were some sort of dresser or armoire in the room for clothes-unpacking isn’t something you can do. The staff here is probably the nicest and happiest I’ve ever come across- people going about their duties actually singing and smiling, it was refreshing to see. The managers are very attentive and extremely helpful and so supportive to their staff, and honestly, everyone at the front desk is just on it. Mac in the bar is delightful, and always smiling. Breakfast is always hot and wells are full, the crew in there constantly cleaning, again, just great employees. This was our first visit to the area and we are already planning to come back. Great job, everyone!

This place is great. Quiet, clean, and a decent distance from all of the great attractions, restaurants and shops in PCB. I have stayed at a lot of pet friendly places with my cat, but when this hotel says they are pet friendly that is an understatement. My cat enjoyed all of the attention she got from both guests and the super friendly staff, and got to explore on her leash with the exception of the beach and pool area. I highly recommend this location if you are traveling with pets due to the super pet friendly staff and environment, as well as close proximity to a pet friendly section of beach. Seriously guys thank you so much for making my trip with my travel cat amazing for both of us. next time we are in the area we will be staying with you, no question.
