"Great stay!"

Baymont by Wyndham Pensacola at NAS Corry

10/10 Excellent

"The outside of the hotel is not great. I was very skeptical upon arrival. But the room was just as described. Very very clean, comfortable bed, nice linens, spacious and gave us a very great night’s rest for our stay! The front desk staff (nephew of the owner) was absolutely delightful and helpful. We feel he went over and beyond to make our stay a great one. He was so kind and friendly. We enjoyed our stay while we volunteered for hurricane clean up for the weekend!"

Tiny Haven Unwind in Pensacola

8/10 Good

"The listing is very accurate. The unit comes equipped with the necessary items (I could have used a few more towels since there's no washer/dryer in the unit) but we made due. The location was probably the only down side. Its not in a tourist area, and the 9 mile drive takes 20 minutes (30 mph speed limit-no traffic). But all in all we enjoyed our time there."
