Holiday Inn Express & Suites Pensacola Airport North โ I-10 by IHG
"I liked the staff. They were really helpful and patient. The rooms were really clean and amazing. It really felt like home. Keep up the good work."
Sweet Dream Inn University Park
"It was good, nothing exciting. I turned the heater on for seconds and set the fire alarm off. That thing hasnt been cleaned in a very long time. I got locked in the bathroom for more than 10mins. The lock was half"
Quality Inn & Suites Pensacola Bayview
"The hotel was full with hurricane tree cutters. The staff did a good job with all the workers. The guys were messy and demanding but the staff kept up. My room was clean, everything worked, shower was hot. I'd stay here again."
Extended Stay Premier Suites - Pensacola- Nas Corry Station
"Staff were very direct, not so friendly. Rooms were clean , bed not so comfy though. Bathrooms very clean. Biggest issue is sound dampening when trying to sleep. It was so loud on the floor above us, you could hear it 1/2 way down our hallway. Sounded like an army of little kids running up and down hallway all night long."
At Home Inn & Suites
"When I arrive, the staff was extremely helpful. I canโt remember her name, but she was very friendly and professional. The room was ready and clean. The bathroom was clean and there were plenty of towels. The room is perfect. The only thing I wouldโve liked is for them to offer at least a light breakfast in the morning they only had coffee on a table and it was not very good but other than that it was perfect. Thank you so much."
Courtyard by Marriott Pensacola
"The Air Conditioner did not work as it should have. We had it set at 69 degrees, but the room stayed at 86 degrees. Because the front desk staff seemed dismissive, we did not report it. We just dealt with it and left the next morning."
Days Inn by Wyndham Pensacola - Historic Downtown
"Been staying here off and on for long stays over the last six and itโs a great spot for Pensacola."
Comfort Inn Pensacola - University Area
"Very hectic check-in with some guests dealing with overbooking issues, but the staff members at the desk were calm, positive, and professional. Thank you! Only stayed one night, but everything went well."
