We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights this past week because we were in town to attend a wedding. We had a room on the 5th floor that overlooked the Pensacola Bay, which was clean, comfortable and quiet. I would give this level of hotel 5 stars, but it has a four because they did not service the rooms between the first and second night we were there. Since the bathroom fan did not run, steam/moisture from showers only had the rest of the room to vent, so we had to turn down the thermostat to 69 to get the fan running to have any luck in getting our bathroom towels dry. Had they notified us before our arrival that they will only service our room after so many days, we would have brought our own towels to use during our second (and last) morning we were there. Coffee is available for sale in the lobby, but it would have been nice if they offered it to paying guests for free. I forgot it was not a Hampton Inn in that regard.…
Nice rooms. Housekeeping was a bit over done knocking on my door numerous times - but in this market it's great - and they were very pleasant. I had the oat meal - with blueberries - it was outstanding. It's almost near the base of the Gulf Breeze bridge. A real winner.
Do not recommend. They would not provide an extra pillow, there was a green light flashing in our face all night from something on the wall which couldn’t be switched off, and the wall by the shower was cracked and moldy. As an Ambassador Elite, I was told I could checkout late at 2:30, but then that morning they told me I couldn’t after all which ruined my plans. Then they didn’t update my mobile key. Breakfast is not free like I was told when I booked. I’ve never had such a terrible experience at a Marriott and was so embarrassed because I had family with me and had told them to expect great service.
Very nice place. Friendly staff all the way around. Clean. Was by elevator so was kind of loud but that not hotel fault. Some disrespectful parents let their kids run the halls on the 4th floor very late at night a couple nights. Pool is nice but get crowded
Excellent business class hotel in all respects. Very nicely furnished gym. Unfortunately I didn't get to use the outdoor pool bc of thunderstorms. Only thing irritated me, don't nickel and dime me for the internet. I'm paying $200 per night; you don't need to rip me off for $6 more for internet. Without the add-on, you're throttled at about 6 mbps download. Also, the covid breakfast sucked. I appreciate the no-contact-box effort, but seriously, sloppy hard boiled eggs in a prepackaged plastic bag like at a truck stop? Weird to have such a nice and reputable hotel cut corners so crudely.
Upon checking in-lady at front desk was very curt & unwelcoming. Lobby was fine as was the room-just worn out looking. The faucet & shower nozzle both look worn & the shower bar has mold. Great size room with plenty of space. Grab & go breakfast is disappointing...
Stayed here for a weekend in the summer of 2020. Check in was fast and easy and the front desk staff was great and welcoming. Our room was typical of a Courtyard except maybe larger, looks like they could have easily fit a third queen bed in it. Room was clean and in pretty good shape. The bathroom fan (room 422) was really noisy and some spots of wallpaper peeling but very minor issues. We could not get the thermostat to go below 69 degrees (probably by design) but it was OK. We would have preferred it a bit cooler but it wasn't uncomfortable. The hotel is in a great location, very close to downtown shops and restaurants and super close to the bridge across to the beaches. We would definitely stay here again.
It’s hard to rate hotels and restaurants with COVID 19 and I hope I’m not being too harsh. When we arrived at the hotel at 3pm the lobby appeared deserted. We walked around, didn’t see anyone,and finally asked loudly “Is there anyone here?” A woman finally showed up and registered us for our room. The bistro was closed, so breakfast wasn’t available. The room was average size and a bit shabby (wallpaper pealing). Housekeeping was subpar(toothpaste splashed on the mirror and I’m not sure the sheets were changed) and there were no garbage cans in the room. The bed was uncomfortable and even though we lowered the temperature of the fridge, my strawberries still froze. After we went to the beach we came back to the pool. The pool was very small and there were several very noisy children playing there. Kids will be kids and since they weren’t obnoxious or unruly we didn’t care. What did bother me (and most other people in the pool area) was the ginormous rat that ran from the hotel to the bushes. I mentioned the rodent to the woman at the desk and she said “Oh yes, we get rats from time to time because we are near the bay.🤔Are rats more common near the bay? I don’t know. She did say she would call maintenance and take care of it …
I stayed for 3 nites at this hotel. It was a very clean and updated hotel from the lobby, pool area and rooms. Tennessee checked me in. What a delightful person. You are lucky to have her. Tennessee’s team was amazing. They would help me with directions and ideas about dinners since the bar and bistro was closed. I felt at home there. I will plan to stay again. The downtown area of Pensacola was so cool. I need to investigate it more. What a refreshing place to stay. I was alone and went to the beach each day. The location couldn’t be beat. It was right near the bay and the bridge. Very safe area. See you soon!!
I flew in and stayed at this location for one night in order to pick up a puppy the next day. The breeder delivered the puppy to me in the parking lot the next morning after I’d checked out. After she left, I took the puppy over to the grassy area to put him down and just walk around a little. I had gotten to my car, was about to jump in and the manager came out SCREAMING at me for “letting your dog poop on the lawn”. Note… the dog hadn’t relieved itself; no poop, no pee. No questions, just screaming. I explained that the dog hadn’t done anything and that I had stayed overnight. She then accused me of having the dog in the hotel. No questions; again… more screaming and accusations. She noted that they were pet free and that if other saw me there with a dog they would think they allowed pets. (ok, so future guests, which would probably be travelers, are cruising the hotel and would see me with the dog in the parking lot). It took ME breathing and being an adult to deescalate the situation. As the Marriott professional she should have been better at approaching this and defusing the tension and yelling. Opposed to a lengthy confrontation, it would have been so much easier if she had just politely asked a few questions first. “Good morning. Are you a guest? I see you have a dog. Was it with you over night? I was just concerned that you had a pet on the property.” I would have politely explained and profusely apologized for any confusion. On top of that, I’m 100% certain that her little back up agent saw me walk out of the hotel that morning without a dog after check out. Instead I was “greeted” in an aggressive an accusatory manner. If this is the type of professional demeanor one should expect at Marriott properties, I’d stay away. Karen didn’t know who I was. It isn’t safe for her to just run up on people in the parking lot.…
