We were on a road trip to New Orleans, and decided to divert to Panama City Beach. Surprised to find out it was one day before ThunderBeach Bike Rally. Not being bikers, we were intrigued nonetheless, and stayed at the hotel, even though it was a hosting point. Great Beach, Somewhat dated rooms, but again, Great Beach. We ended up... More

We stayed at this hotel with our team as this is where the EVP volleyball tournament was being held. There are only 2 positive things I can say, location was amazing and they had clean, hot showers. There are different buildings within the hotel location, most of the team was placed in the 4000 section, why only a few of... More

I have stayed at this Motel twice during Thunder Beach Bike Rally. I was satisfied with the hotel. It is a little dated but the location is great and the action of the rally was all on the premises or nearby.

Stayed there during spring break. Rooms were barely liveeable at best. The electricty went out on the 2nd night and the hotel would not repair it until sometime the next day. We spent the entiire night with NO AC. Would NOT stay at this place again!!

NOT CLEAN at all. We went down to PC earlier than our original plans & were just going to stay for 2 nights here until our original condo at Seychelles was ready & the rest of our party arrived. The first room was obviously a smoking room when we had registered for a non-smoking room. On top of that it... More

From checking in to checking out rudeness was everywhere, from the front desk to the bartender at the pool. We even got yelled at when we entered an area (unmarked) that was supposely for owners only. The security guards were unnerving and everywhere. Bottles and debri was being thrown out of the windows. The groups of people hanging around made... More

First, they only have one person working at the desk at all times. The line is rarely ever short, so I waited for at least 45 minutes each time I needed something, even if it was just to pick up my package! Second, I got harassed by two male security guards. They used illegal processes to coerce me to sign... More

Security Guards will rough you up and throw you to the ground without provocation or justification, and the police will not do anything when told about. The hotel will deny, deny, deny. This one security guard has some anger and hostility issues and will someday hurt someone. The hotel will do nothing about any complaints, or at least complaints about... More

We paid $2,200 for 10 days with this hotel. Not bad considering location. On our third day we were kicked out bc someone in the next room threw something off the balcony. They didn't listen when 10+ people from other rooms told them it wasnt us. They kicked us out and refused to pay us back for the next 7... More

whatever you do, do not stay at this hotel. While unloading our vehicle just after arriving at 10:30pm a large truck starts to pass the hotel on the main road, as the man notices he slams on his brakes screeching by and literally puts his car in reverse on the main road and comes flying into the parking lot.
