There were so many issues with this hotel. It needs to be condemned. Health/ code really need to inspect this building. I rented three rooms and all three rooms had roaches, bed bugs, bed lice and spiders. Not to mention the mold and mildew, and filthy bed, mattresses, appliances, etc.

Not worth it!

If all you care about is the view, this is your place. I did not see or use anything that would qualify this place as a resort. Both of our beds didn’t have one true pillow, every pillow was a pillow case stuffed with sheets. All of the lotions or shampoos were empty. Part of the pool was roped off going into 4th of July week.

Never again

The room had an awful smell. I went and purchased air fresheners and that didn't work. Toilet and tub kept stopping up. The check in clerk was rude and texted on her phone the entire time.

We were visiting our daughter so the location was important. We found that having a kitchenette was wonderful since we didn’t have a car. The kitchenette was a little outdated and the bathroom didn’t have a lot of space to put toiletries. We would stay here again the next time we visit.

Location, location, location! You can walk out the back of the hotel and straight onto the beach. While the bed was good, as was the bathroom/shower, the room was desperately in need of refurbishment. However everything was just functional and when combined with the low cost we paid it was worth it for the location.

Panama City Beach, FL

It’s so ok but the hotel is very old the roof inside the room and the balcony had it bad mildew!!! That’s not healthy I don’t know why there is not a rule for all those hotel to inspect and fix whatever problems or issues the hotels show just for the safety of the people and because it’s not free we paid but it’s over price we paid $489 half goes to Hotel.com & half price goes to the property. That hotel should cost $20 per night because of the condition of the hotel!!!
