A friend and I stayed just this weekend...We had a great time. We meet some really sweet people and the staff was very friendly The rooms were really cute and the beach was just across the street which we could see from our room. Almost everything is in walking distance. I will be staying there for all my visits to... More

We just returned from a weekend trip to Mexico Beach, FL and we had the pleasure of staying at the Gulf View Motel on Hwy 98. We arrived at dusk on Friday evening and the owner's son greeted us. It was exactly as we had expected..as I had done research on the motel last year. It had a full size... More

Just checking us in seemed to be an aggravation for him.His sister was nice though.Kept apologizing for her brothers crappy attitude.I'd already heard about him from a coupla other families that have stayed there before.So,I was kinda ready for him.I'll be darned if I'll be treated disrespecfully...

We checked in approximately 430 pm. The staff was kind. I asked specifically if our room was pet/smoke free. He said even though that is there policy, people sneak it in the rooms anyways. I said ok. Well, upon entering our room, it smelled like a chimney! We had no choice to stay because all of the other hotels/motels had... More

We just spent 2 nights in the Gulf View Motel. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel itself reminded me of a hotel from the 70's back in Maine. Mexico Beach actually struck me that way. Never moved out of the 60's/70's, which was exactly what we were looking for. The room was clean and had everything we... More

* note: there were 4 of us in a 2-bed room, staying 2 nights*.....Upon arrival, the staff was watching t.v. He did not smile or greet back. They were very short and rude with us. Made us feel like an aggravation! They then stood out side our room staring, watched us unload our bags into the room. We felt this... More

This is an older hotel with the basics. The owner was very friendly and quickly got us checked in. We had room number 9 upstairs and in the back. It was farther from the road, so quiet, but it is one of the few rooms not facing the Gulf. Our room was dated but everything was very clean. It had... More

We left Panama City Beach, Fl and decided to check out Mexico Beach, Fl. All the hotels and inns range from $120-$149 and not worth it. This motel is in between the high priced hotels and is the best kept secret. It nice, clean, cozy with microwave & refrigerator with great customer service for $55.00. I love this place and... More

$50 per night with views of the Gulf, who could ask for more? This is NOT the Hilton!! This place could easily stand for some renovations but why? Who spends time in their hotel their motel other then to eat & sleep? This fits both fine. Air Conditioning units were in the window and the shower was big enough to... More
