Holiday Inn Club Vacations Panama City Beach Resort
4.6/543 Reviews
I think I would've been much happier with this resort if it wasn't falsely advertised. They have it rated as a 4.5 -5 star property which it absolutely is not. there's NO service to speak of. There's one person who sits behind a desk like a motel. you even light your own fire pits . theres a couple of games out for the kids , connect for, etc. I'm unclear why it's categorized as a vacation club. The amenities are minimal. There is a game room on the fifth floor but it's not worth going to. The room furnishings are very islander style. Definitely nothing luxurious, but it was comfortable enough. my bathtub didn't drain each night and the pillows were so high I got a neck ache. They definitely aren't Marriott heavenly beds. Panama City draws a clientele that is less desirable than Rosemary Beach or Santa Rosa Beach witch is driving distance. there were still plenty of families on the beach here . I will be positive and say that the views are absolutely amazing and every room is oceanfront. We stayed in room 203, which was down one flight of stairs to the sand. this property is only five floors high which I loved. there are high risers on either side. the front of the hotel does sit on a busy street, which is worth noting, and the area is nothing that I would feel safe walking around at night. so I am going to say if you expect a three star property, you will be happy. I feel like my review is fair. I did have a wonderful week. I came here with my 13-year-old daughter to kick off the summer. I was incredibly disappointed as I was told. It was a five star property but once I adjusted mentally I was OK. I stayed in a one bedroom. there was massive construction happening at the front of the resort, so check if that's complete if you're coming in June. if you get a good price on the room, it's definitely worth staying here. The hot tub was amazing and piping hot but my issue was there was no check system so anyone can walk in and use the facilities.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham PCB Pier Park Area

Stayed because we were only in town two nights and were not going to be in the place other than to sleep and shower. The staff was the best thing about the hotel. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, polite and accommodating. Rooms were ”surface” clean (clean sheets and counters) but in need of a deep cleaning and updating. For instance, a huge hole in the bathroom wall and a desk chair that should have been in the garbage bin years ago! We did have a problem with the hotel giving another guest a key to our room after midnight! Luckily, we had the dead bolt locked. But even through there was a Do Not Disturb sign on the door and the door was locked from inside, this guy was bound and determined to get in the room. He was trying to knock the damn door down! We woke up to a crash that made us both, literally jump out of bed! Sounded and felt like a car crashed into the building! I went to the closed door and through it told him he had the wrong room. He asked if I could open the door a crack because his key was stuck in the door. I said ”No, go to the front desk”. He asked again, I told him no way I was opening the door and to go back to the front desk!! I called the desk, but no one answered. The next morning, when I left the room to get breakfast (which was ok at best) I found the key stuck in the door frame. He was trying to jimmy the lock!! When I grabbed the card the light on the door pad turned green. It was a key to open our room. I went to the front desk and explained what happened. They checked the computer and said it had our room as being vacant. I told them we'd been they for two nights. They apologized, but that was it. Grabbed breakfast and got out of there. Also, the first night they had little league teams staying there, running up and down the halls yelling and banging on doors! So, both nights we were woken up after midnight. Again, it is a budget hotel, and I knew that going in. It wasn't the first time staying in one and probably won't be my last. But surely two nights will be my limit, anything more than that I'll splurge for a better place.

The staff was super friendly and the room was very clean. The beds are comfortable. On our stay, they provided Dove products for toiletries, so be mindful of that if you are allergic to them (if you don't bring your own). It is centrally located just a quick drive to the beach, food, and shopping. Very quiet. I would definitely stay again!
