We are in Pensacola for a SCUBA diving trip to the USS Oriskany w/ Viking Diving. Suburban is very close to Chico Marina, where Vikings' boat is docked. Our room was clean & reasonably priced; they gave us an additional $5 off of the rate when we told them that we were driving w/ Viking. The staff was cordial & gave us complimentary late check-out.

After reviewing photos and reviews, my expectations were let down. The staff were creepy, rude, and not helpful. The rooms were worn down looking, very little dishes to use. Some of the floors creeked. I went in a group, one room for guys, one room for girls. When girls checked in we were given no information about the hotel. When the guys checked in they were informed of the pool, gym, etc. I was very happy we actually had guys on the trip. I would never have stayed there without them.

The kitchens are awesome and the room was very clean. Our first impression was not good with children running unsupervised in the halls screaming and the front desk agent on his cell phone. Also the smell was very smoky in the first interior door, we later saw the front desk agent smoking, propping the door open with his foot, glancing at the desk every few minutes. Also the tile in the kitchen was uneven (the whole floor was a bit lumpy) causing us to trip. The only elevator was a bit jerky and slow.
Now the kitchen, cleanliness, and bed was very comfortable. The ac worked well and the water pressure in the shower was great. The small sponge they give you was much appreciated b/c I forgot mine.
I would not recommend this hotel for girls traveling alone. Several times there were men in the parking lot staring at us, or in the elevator and we did not feel safe. It was not a very safe invironment for single girls, families maybe, but the staff did not seem very attentive. They were polite, but they did not seem like they wanted to be there or cared how they presented themselves.

I've stayed in much much nicer, and only a couple worse. It's livable with the kitchenette, king bed was comfortable enough, but I really didn't care for it. Drinks, snacks and Ice machine for the whole place is on the first floor. Small thin towels, showers average. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody I cared about, but I was wrkg here for a few days and just slept here.
