Had a short stay, two nights between Christmas and New Years so things were pretty quiet and not crowded. I say this because that may not be the case during the vacation season. As the title says, we loved our stay. This property is fairly new, and quite a bargain given all rooms are gulf front with a balcony. Beautiful views of the beach and gulf. The beds were super comfortable. We had a double queen room. It had two sink areas, very clean and well stocked with anemities. The free breakfast was very good. All of the service personnel from the front desk to housekeeping was pleasant and helpful. Hotel location is also convenient to the city of
Pensacola. This hotel is pretty much in Gulf Breeze,Fl.

My only issue was the WIFI was pretty spotty in our room. We were on the third floor on the east end. Maybe better in other places. But then it was free.

Before we travel some place new I always check the reviews on TripAdvisor and specific hotel websites....you of course always hope that the reviews are accurate and that you aren't going to be "surprised" when you actually arrive at the hotel!

I can assure you that in this case the reviews are true and as everyone has said this is the cleanest, friendliest Holiday Inn Express hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed in many as it is our hotel of choice when we travel. The beaches are spectacular and the location of the hotel can't be beat as there isn't anything immediately next door to the hotel on either side of it except for sand dunes. We of course were there in off-season so it was very quiet and the beach had maybe 10 people when it was "busy". It was very relaxing and peaceful.

We had two rooms (a King corner room and an attached double-queen room) both of which were clean, roomy and comfortable...and yes, both had balconies (as do all the rooms) with an incredible view of the Gulf. As someone else noted, we were able to leave the balcony doors open so we could hear the surf and let in fresh "sea" air. If we weren't on the beach---then we were on the balcony! The cleaning staff was very friendly and serviced the rooms everyday and were more than willing to help you with whatever you may need.

I highly recommend choosing this as your place to stay!

Check in was easy and the front desk staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The room was exceptionally clean and up-to-date. The gulf view was so beautiful. You could see the sting rays swimming near the shoreline. Lobby area and breakfast area were clean. The staff were always cleaning food and table areas. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Pensacola Beach.

This is a beautiful property right on the beach. The staff were very nice and very helpful. We stayed in a very large king room with a great view of the beach. I do believe that all the rooms are ocean view.

We were too tired from teaveling to go out to dinner, so we asked hotel staff where we could order delivery. Staff brought a couple of menus to our room and we had a local place deliver right to our room.

They have free wi-fi and a pretty good free breakfast.
