Positive Reviews

Excellent location near amenities

One of the most frequently noted highlights of this lodge is its location. Guests have appreciated, in particular, the ease of access to the beach and the proximity to shopping, restaurants, and bars at Pier Park.

Ample on-site facilities

Guests have appreciated the selection of facilities at this Panama City Beach accommodation. For a two-star hotel, this property certainly seems to have a lot to offer. Guests have particularly enjoyed the pools as well as noting that the on-site activities are plentiful.

Friendly service from staff

Overall, guests have been positive in their feedback concerning the standard of service at this hotel. The staff is found to have a pleasant attitude and has proved friendly and welcoming toward guests.

Negative Reviews

Wi-Fi can be disappointing

Guests have found the quality of the Wi-Fi here a little disappointing. For some, the Internet was slow, while for others the connection was spotty and suitable for only basic tasks like checking email rather than watching online content.

Parking may prove problematic

A fair number of guests have mentioned that they found the parking here a bit of a challenge. The biggest problem seems to be not concerned with finding an available space but rather with how tight the parking spaces are.

Questionable behaviour from guests

While not necessarily a regular concern, guests have mentioned some poor behaviour from other people staying at the hotel - playing loud music, drinking vast quantities of alcohol, and inappropriate dancing in front of children. Although not a constant issue, guests were disappointed that the staff did nothing to keep this kind of behaviour under control.
