Reviews
Guests generally appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the convenient location of the hotel. However, there are consistent complaints about the lack of daily housekeeping and breakfast services, as well as issues with room cleanliness and maintenance.

Staff were always friendly and professional. My room was very clean and also facing the bay. Parking was not an issue as my brother picked me up every day. We had breakfast the first morning there and staff were friendly, helpful, fabulous! One small detail, though, there were three mysterious hairs in my room, which I'm mitigated with a tissue and the trashcan. My stay, there was perfect.

The only problem we had were the housekeeping staff trying to hurry us to check out. We had until 12noon but they camped outside our room. We were going to try to check out my 10am and my husband was taking our luggage to the car when one stopped to ask if we were checking out. He said we were loading up but I was in the room. One walked in while I was in the bathroom. They said whoops and left the room but we have never been so hassled about getting out of the room. Otherwise the rest of the staff were great.

Absolutely the friendliest staff I have EVER came across at the hotel. So helpful. Everyone from the front desk to cleaning staff. Absolutely amazing staff. Management deserves great praise for the staff they have.

Convenient clean friendly staff and good clientele no riff Raff hanging around outside Starbucks. I was looking for a real cup of coffee in the morning without paying. Would prefer not to have Starbucks and have a complimentary coffee and tea bar 24/7. That's about the only thing we didn't like

Very clean great location
- 5/5
The bed was comfortable, and the room was reasonably quiet although we could hear people talking in the parking lot below us. We always travel with White Noise machines and also ran the bathroom fan overnight so we slept soundly and heard no loud noise. The TV had excellent resolution and sound. The shower had a nice shower head and comfortable, steady temperature. We did not eat breakfast there since it was not included so we walked across the parking lot to “Another Broken Egg Cafe”. Rick at the front desk was very helpful and answered all of our questions including about the quirky door lock on the doors which apparently are designed that way to prevent people from locking themselves out of their room. We will return here.

There was no breakfast provided. That's not too bad, but complimentary coffee would be an acceptable substitute. Overall, the hotel was very clean, in great condition, with very helpful staff. The television options are very very poor - not much better than a Roku box.

The property is kept up , well lit at night time , clean . The staff all were friendly and helpful. I was given a handicap room which I did not like because of the shower in the bathroom, the water would run out of the shower area onto the bathroom floor, saturating the floor towel every morning and creating a large puddle to step into coming out of the shower

The room and property was generally clean, but there was vomit on the side of the toilet. Even when I told the front desk, it went uncleaned.

As someone who has lived in hotels for about 5 of the past 20 years, I know a lot about hotels. This hotel was ideal for a short to medium stay. My standard room was large and featured a bed and full couch. Huge 60 inch TV. Desk area. Window that opens. Jacuzzi hot tub by the pool. Small bar downstairs. Right across from McGuire's Irish Pub and next to a Brazilian steakhouse. Only a mile from the best spots downtown Pensacola (and you travel through one of the ritziest streets I've ever seen). Right off of Route 98 and overlooking the bridge to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff. I couldn't be happier with my stay.

The bar/restaurant was never open. Our room was a disabled access room which was fine however the curtain in the shower was too short and water would get all over the floor creating a hazardous situation.

Location
- 3/5
Truly disappointed in this hotel. Nothing exceptional except local to justify the high price. The room looked like it was decorated from the Sale aisle at IKEA. Two tiny drawers and one tiny cubby hole (not closet) for storage, minimalist linens, like warm shower water, no maid service. The only positive was all the restaurants close by. Nothing Marriott worthy.

There was a weird scent in the sheets. Another concern with it was the fact that the rooms are attached to the point where you can open a door to the next room. Makes it very uncomfortable especially for noisy people. One more thing they made it seem as if there was breakfast available on the website but it was in fact not. And the Starbucks is not what we were hoping it to be, only had coffee. The Starbucks 15 minutes away in the hospital was better. Only good thing was the staff, very friendly and quick to help out when alerted with a noise concern as well as anything else.

I called for more towels; the guy only bought 2 towels (there was 3 of us in the room. We went out to dinner that night and when we returned, I asked the girl for more coffee, she informed me there should be coffee in our room. I told her we had drank it that morning, she gave me 2 pods with 3 of us standing there.

From all the Marriott hotels, this one wasn't in standards to what Marriott is all about. Was disappointed with the experience maybe its this property location or maybe the renovations, or maybe the service from guest services! paid top dollar for the location & never got the quality out of it! overall Marriott stays true to their quality & service which i never got here. I hope next Courtyard experience isn't this way!

All good but no complementary coffee.
- 3/5
Like that several good restaurants and bars were within walking distance. Like convenient free parking. Didn’t like the fact the hotel is undergoing renovations. There was no notice on website about the inconvenience of the renovations. Didn’t like the traffic noise. The hotel is located between major highways going and coming from the beach bridge. Didn’t like that the hot tub was dirty and not working. Didn’t like that two of the four cardio machines didn’t work. Didn’t like the fact that breakfast was not included with the hotel room cost. Didn’t like that the toilet flushed completely once out of appropriately every 6 flushes.
- 2.5/5
Was awoken at crack of dawn with extremely loud what I was told construction work was not offered a different room until I said I wished to stay another night but not this room (wich had a non functional toilet) second night was much better minus the fact both nights stayed the pool seemed to be closed .. the morning I left there was no hot water ......
- 3.5/5
Lovely hotel, I liked that you have a bar. That was convenient. The hotel is being renovated, which was. not disclosed when I paid for the room on line. While the renovations did not interfere with with our stay, it would have been nice to know that there were some limitations.
- 2/5
Construction going on and place is in terrible shape. Construction starts at 7 am. Loud and messy at the moment. Phone didn’t work at the front desk or in my room. Should be giving a deep discount to be staying at the moment and let guest know it’s under construction
- 2/5
They had with their credit card system, tv didn’t work and wasn’t put together, construction on the same floor in the next room over. If you knew there were construction going on at 7 AM on the floor and the next-door to our room. You shouldn’t have booked that hall, that floor, or that room. They then tried to double charge me when I was leaving.

Nice

Fantastic shower- water pressure, shower products (shampoo, body wash, conditioner)- was fantastic. The construction going on was just too much. Loud, dusty, held up the elevator, closed off amenities from time to time. Microwave didn’t work- maintenance replaced with working one first night. Good convenient location. Staff was friendly.
- 5/5
Other than some construction around the property, something which Pansacon had no control over, I found the property very adequate, within easy reach of our hotel, and plenty of find restaurants from which to choose.
- 5/5
Every staff member I encountered was excellent. My original reservation was staying until the 16th. They told me there was no issue with me chekcing out on the 15th. I have not rec'd the credit back yet but I assume it will take a few days.

Perfect location to dining and shopping and just a short trip to the beach. Its nice that parking is free. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Stayed at this property for the seafood festival and it was perfect for a 1 night stay. There is plenty of free parking, and luggage carts. I was able to check in early and get settled in. I was informed at Checkin about the breakfast option for a charge and afternoon cocktails as well. The facilities were clean. The pool area was immaculate and the lounge chairs were wonderful. The rooms was clean and spacious but the bathroom could be a bit cleaner. The shower was hot, which I enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would return.

This is a great place to stay if you are a beach person. It is easy to get to the beach and seemed to be safe. My one complaint is the entire week we we there, the tv was not so good. They have internet tv and for the entire we were there it did not work. Lots of promises but no internet tv.

We took a quick trip for memorial weekend and this hotel was a great stay for a great price! Easy and fast drive to Pensacola Beach. Room was modern and spacious. Fridge and microwave which was nice. The bed was amazing and the shower while not as new as the room itself was GREAT! Hot and good pressure…overall super worth the pay ahead price on Expedia

Hotel is not well kept, it’s noisy and the “restaurant”/bar was closed entirely on a Saturday night. Meanwhile, they’re still advertising it as an amenity…quite misleading. The front desk attendant was unfriendly and not helpful at all. Won’t likely go back.

I usually have a great experience when staying at Marriott hotels, but this stay was different. I was down there on business, and when I checked in Thursday, I had asked for a Friday 6:30 AM wake up call. I never rec'd it, and hence missed my rideshare to the event. I had to book an Uber ride for $70.00. And, just last night when going into the hotel, I asked for another wake up call 4:00AM that I never rec'd either. Simple wake up calls, that I didn't get ruined my stay! I am very disappointed with the overall experience.

The staff was very friendly and checked us in quickly. We dealt with three shifts of staff over our stay and all were friendly and questions were answered quickly and well. There were so many places to eat in strolling distance from the hotel. Maguires is right across the street and Another Broken Egg (amazing breakfast menu) is right across the parking lot. Whataburger and Waffle House a short stroll, a high end liquor store, and a convenience store also in strolling distance. Supermarket was a short drive or a long walk. Highly recommended.

Way too expensive to not offer breakfast. Way too hard to book through Expedia. The Expedia agent cancelled my booking because she had to be the one to talk to Marriott and not me. She literally couldn’t communicate what I was asking for and ends up cancelling my room and still charging me for it!!

We left early and when we returned the room was not clean, they didn't even give us new towels. I called to complain and was told by Rebecca she'll send me sheets so I can make my own bed. She then told me it was nothing she can do, that her manager would give me a call back before I checked out. Have yet to receive that call and I checked out yesterday. Poor customer service.
