The property is under renovations so looks a bit like a construction site. Asked for a renovated room which was disappointing because the renovations are only half hearted. Examples; the bathroom tub and toilet and surround was new but the bathroom fan was so full of lint and grime that when turned on, it “rained” black lint on the floor and toilet. The 90’s curtain was not replaced and in fact was hanging off the pull rod. Our room had an area with a couch but there was no lighting in that area making it unsuitable for use. The manager promised to look for a lamp to solve the problem. Never heard back from him. Wish I had not stayed here.

Panama City Beach ain't much but beach (and one particularly large shopping mall), but if it's beach you want, and a beachside room, this is the bomb. Nice pool and/or bathtub-temp ocean 50yards further south - take your pick! Rooms were great, guest laundry a nice asset, and staff very helpful. The only fault was being charged 3 nights when we only stayed 2, and it did take us 2 long-distance phone calls and some very direct conversation to get the refund on our card, but it did come through.... 2 weeks later. That's careless. Watch the billing. Otherwise....great place and yes we would return.

I recently stay at the Fairfield Inn, Pamana City Beach. Hotel was clean, professional attentive staff, and excellent manager. The front desk clerk was answering the phone as I approached the desk. The manager hurried over to make sure I received prompt attention. It was a Saturday, how many mangers work on Saturday? When I complemented on the hotel and asked if it was a new build, I was amazed when he said 6 years old. He said most of his staff had been with him since it opened. I would definately recommend a stay here. It's only a few miles from the beach and many restaurant and stores. Great clean place with comfortable bed and free breakfast.

Adjacent to Panama City Beach Sports Complex, our hotel is 10 minutes from the beach. Pier Park Shops, St. Andrews State Park, and Frank Brown Park are all less than 20 minutes away. Each of our suites includes a fully equipped kitchen, plus our hotel offers a fitness center, outdoor pool, and is pet-friendly!

An amazing stay at Home2Suites in Panama City FL! We booked a queen bedroom suite. Upon walking into the front doors to check in, a fresh ocean aroma greets you. The scent reminded me of the Polynesian resort at WDW. Everything was clean and brand new! The beds slept amazingly well and the kitchenette was so nice to have during our three day stay. Breakfast is complimentary—waffles with all the toppings you could want, sausage, omelets, cereal and oatmeal. Coffee served all day, which was a win! Overall, a ten out of ten. We will definitely be staying here again if we come back to PCity.

The room is spacious and comfortable, and the price/performance ratio is good. There are retired grandparents on duty at the front desk. There is breakfast but it ends very early.

My wife and I arrived after midnight. We had worked all day and driven several hours to Pnanma City. When we arrived the lobby doors were locked for security and a sign directed you to use your room key or pick up a phone that was on the wall. As we had no key, I picked up the phone. It rang between 20-30 times and was then answered. The lady advised she was on the third floor and would be down shortly. A few minutes later, she arrived and unlocked the door. She checked us in without incident and was friendly. As I was extremely tired from a 20-hour day, I just wanted to get to sleep, so we went straight up to the room. My wife immediately noted several medium lengths to long black hairs in the room. They were on the floor in the bathroom, in the sink, in the shower. We were both too tired to address the situation at that time, so we took some pictures to address it in the morning. We cleaned the hair up and went to sleep. In the morning, we approached the desk clerk and explained what had happened. Her response was a little terse and caught me off guard. She wanted to know why it was not reported when we noticed the issue. I explained I was tired and a little cranky and felt it would be better to address the situation when rested and less apt to be impolite. We attempted to show the pictures, but she seemed somewhat ambivalent. We told her all we wanted was for the room to be cleaned while we were gone for the day and her attitude seemed to mellow. She said she would notify the general manager of our concern. When we got back, the room was cleaned, and all the hair was gone. We were not contacted further. Many of my reviews talk about how issues arise, and I try not to judge the issue, but rather how it is addressed. I do not think this was handled in the best way possible. As for the rest of the hotel, it was clean, and the public areas were nice. The location is okay, but not great. We chose this as it was the closest Bonvoy property to our son's residence. I think I would drive a little further on future visits.
