This hotel is budget friendly, for beach prices. The overall room was clean, but the room could use some deep cleaning for the mold. The beds were very comfy, and the sheets were soft. It is very conveniently located for walking to most restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful in every way.
Loved the bay access at the back of the property! Breakfast was good! The lady cooking breakfast was great and super friendly!! The desk ladies were great also! Definitely will go back!
The price and location make it totally worth it, then add in the beautiful pool and the small private beach on the quiet water and its worth every penny. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you are traveling with family (kids) save yourself some money and enjoy.
Amazing! 10/10 would come back here. Short walk to beach and pier. Super lovely front desk staff. breakfast was great, smaller than other hotels but still happy. Love the free paddle board, kayak and bike offerings. also loved the access to the bay and pool on the property! What an awesome gem in gulf breeze!
Our flight was delayed and we missed our 1st night: they were very understanding and kind enough to credit that night. Location was perfect : on the Sound with a small private beach, gorgeous pool and across the street from the Gulf Beach. Walkable restaurants and shops , yet peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was wonderful as is the woman running it. Front desk staff was very friendly! Loved the bikes and even if we didn't kayak, awesome to have them. GREAT place to stay, very chill.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was perfect size for me and my kids, very clean. View is amazing and perfect location to visit everything. Will definitely be staying here again!
The beach is close to hotel and so is the fishing pier—we had a blast at this location with so much to do—beach/fishing/swimming/ paddle boats/shopping/ etc…
It was nice friendly people and staff and the breakfast was awesome nice place, close to everything walking distance they have kayaking, paddle boards, bikes for free as long as you're there

A couple things here and there but overall for the price I can’t complain. It’s an older hotel so it’s expected to show some age. Complimentary breakfast was good, ice machine and elevators worked, and every staff member we came across was very helpful. Plus, everything is within walking distance. Overall I would recommend others to give it a shot!
The most perfect little beach hotel. The staff is personable and the free rentals are just the cherry on top! You get free hot breakfast, the rooms are so cute with a beach theme, and the hotel is the perfect size to feel homey & quaint.
