Hotels Near Shoreline Park in Gulf Breeze

Nice hotel, more affordable than beachfront but you can be at the beach in less than 10 minutes. Nice pool area but no security or key entry. Key entry into the hotel but pool is outdoors and anyone can walk in. Staff was nice, few gluten free breakfast items but it was set up well. Big room with good size kitchen.

Since we were meeting our daughter and son in law for a weekend, she suggested we stay here together. Although pleasant staff and clean , it was not what I expected for s Hampton Inn and Suites. The hallway, first of all , was distinctly warm. Nowhere near comfortable, even muggy as you walk forward through the halls. Our room was bare. No pictures, nothing special. We actually had no towels until I asked at the desk. The wallpaper was peeled away in the bathroom, large cracks in the floor tile, and a loose faucet. A king bed was comfortable, but again, nothing special. The breakfast was good, a waffle iron and a choice of pre-made omelettes, turkey sausage and juices. Honestly, average, but I wouldn’t stay here again. Not what we expected for a hotel of Hampton Inn’s usual above average quality.

We stayed here for 3 nights and service not that good The location is great with a great view of the gulf. The next day we came ack to our room and it was not cleaned. We call down to the front desk and asked them to clean the room. There answer was we only clean rooms on Tuesday and Friday, no luck for our room getting cleaned because we stayed from Saturday to Tuesday. We had to ask for clean towels each day No pool towels

Absolutely the best holiday Inn resort I have been to by far. Adam at the front desk is by far an example of what a hotel experience champion should be at an IHG property. If he isn’t one they should definitely look at him for a candidate. Working for an IHG property in another state I am so meticulous over the standard and this property surpassed my every expectation by a landslide. We will definitely return for our annual family end of summer vacation in years to come

Pensacos Invincible Seaview Hotel, the breakfast is a la carte, the bed is too high and too soft, the bathroom is large, the restaurant downstairs is white sand waves, and the parking lot is also on the beach. It is extremely convenient to go to the room or the parking lot.

It’s a motel. That said, it’s super cute. The location is beyond perfect. Literally walk across the street to the gulf and just steps from your room is their private beach on the bay. You cannot beat the location or the people. Standard two Queen room, with mini fridge and microwave. Three pillows per bed. Regular shade and blackout shade on the window. Don’t like sand on the floor, bring a broom. If you leave the room, you will bring back sand. It’s a beach town. The staff is AMAZING! Front desk was very kind and helpful. Little shop in the lobby is well stocked and reasonably priced. Decor is nice, paint is fresh. Elizabet, the breakfast hostess, is engaging and makes perfect waffles during the complimentary breakfast (be kind, tip her!). They provide kayaks and paddle boards during the day at no charge. The pool has toys to use. It also has a chair lift to get in/out of the pool, if needed. Several umbrellas between the chaises. Two covered seating areas. They have beach cruisers to use. (No charge) Guest laundry $2 wash/$2 dry - desk has quarters. Nice machines. Ice machine is in laundry area. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in shower. Hand soap and lotion (nice!) by the sink. Highly recommend bringing your beach towels, they just can’t keep up with the demand for towels. I just washed our towels and swimsuits overnight. We Uber’d in, but if you’re parking, they charge $10/day. The landscaping is kept up and very pretty. I want to tell you it sucks so there is always a room available for me, but it is a tremendous value, safe, clean, with great people and amenities. It’s the place to go for serious fun and relaxation without breaking the bank. Make sure you enjoy a few of their sunsets on the bay.

Overview: This is from a Diamond Member who travels over 200 days a year. If you’re looking for a Hilton Property that overlooks a beautiful beach with easy access to the beach and water – then the Hampton will work for you. With only 4 Floors (Highly Recommend 4th Floor – overlooking beach – other side just looks over a parking lot), ample parking and large rooms with fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds and window a/c’s that push out very cold air (but are also quite loud). This is a very well used property, and you will notice wear & tear if you look around – I saw maintenance personnel every day working hard to repair and replace things. Why 4-stars: Couple of things just didn’t work well – and should when one pays for a service and expects that level of service. Texted the hotel upon arrival (via the app) a couple of times and never got a response. When I checked in (an hour past the time stated by the hotel) the room was not ready, staff did make a change but tried to move me to the 2nd floor w/o asking me (remember I had picked a 4th floor room w/virtual key) so I had to get me moved back to the 4th floor…..and then had to ask if I could have my 2-waters as a diamond member. I get places are short staffed and I was OK with having to remove my own trash and ask for towels to replace used ones….but simple things should be easy to take care of. A few challenges in the room also added to the rating – however still a solid hotel for a beach stay. Next door is a Hilton property if you prefer – but it is quite large so many more guest to deal with this property never seemed busy except at breakfast. If back will look to stay here again – 4th Floor overlooking beach! Tips to Help w/Stay: 8-minute drive to where a Publix and Walmart Neighborhood grocery stores are to grab some snacks (no places on Island – except a Circle K) and the rooms have a decent size frig to hold beverages and a few snacks. 25-minute drive to Pensacola airport. Next door are two restaurants (Crabs & ???) that allow you to walk up in swimsuits and eat. Across the street (easy walk) is Alvin’s to pick up forgotten beach things or grab a souvenir. Early morning walks before the beaches fill up are recommended and either direction offer stunning water, sand, and views. The hotel offers a large breakfast selection (I don’t do these so can’t comment on quality) but it seemed to be well utilized and the offerings (hot and cold) looked OK as I walked by. Finally, there are numerous restaurants within a 2–5-minute walk and many more to choose from via a 3 – 5 drive to either show up in your bathing suit (next to hotel) or get a little more dressed up for a good dinner.
