From the moment that I walked into the lobby, I was impressed! John, at the front desk, was very professional, friendly and accommodating. There were also freshly baked cookies in the lobby for the guests!
My room was very nice, clean, and inviting!
I stayed for four days, and enjoyed every moment. Will stay longer next time!
From the full array of breakfast items, wonderful coffee, great and interesting guests, we all mingled at breakfast as if it was indeed a family and friends' vacation!
The staff was wonderful!
I can't tell it all, but I recommend that you check it out for yourself! The hotel is located in Gulf Breeze, but is just 5 mins. from the hustle and bustle of Pensacola Beach! Great price too!
