Would recommend

Nice little hotel with a very good price per night. Pool was nice and clean. Property was also clean. TVs could use an upgrade but the room was nice and the beds were comfortable. Staff was also excellent. Checking in and out was easy with no wait time. Would stay here again for a weekend getaway.

Desk clerk was most gracious when we checked in. Very impressed with the property, except the cable TV went out (no picture, audio only) while we were watching a national news special report. Otherwise!!! Great stay! Bed spreads were brand new!

I stayed here the door wouldn’t close. When I asked for another room they told me they didn’t have a room. Then we I asked for another room the next day they gave me the room but later the hotel called the police on me saying I was trans passing, and over charges my card four times, and only stayed one night. I will never be returning to this hotel very unprofessional, and nasty.

The room smelled of stale cigarettes and the bathroom door had a hole in it, the air conditioner had pieces missing. The bathroom tile was broken. The mirror had multiple cigarette burns on it. The floor was dirty. It was just all around gross.

I had a terrible experience at Econo Lodge Panama City on June 3rd. From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff was extremely rude. I was given a smoking room even though I had reserved a non-smoking room. When I asked for a change, they responded with a bad attitude. The second room smelled strongly of chemicals and the AC didn’t work. When I asked to check out because of these issues, the staff refused and told me to come back on Friday. I was also denied written confirmation that I had left. I ended up not staying at the hotel and had nowhere to sleep that night. What’s worse is that my family had stayed here before and recommended the hotel, but my experience was completely different and disappointing. Despite reaching out through Expedia multiple times, the hotel has refused a refund, even though I didn’t stay. Extremely unprofessional service. I do not recommend this hotel and would never stay here again.

Don't Trust Your Booking be what you chose!

I booked a NON smoking room but when we got there it was a smoking room! My confirmation said nonsmoking but the motel's reservations said smoking room. They said it Was Hotels.com's fault..since we were evacuating from a hurricane, we really didn't have much choice but to stay. So NO, I'm not very happy with the stay! Besides everything being yellow and sticky and smelling like smoke...there were ants,broken fixtures,light switches and floor tiles.

The room was reasonably priced and clean. Very loud and disruptive being along the highway and apparently on the path of the Air Force Base. Loud jets continued all day and well into the night. Staff was amazing tho cleaning room and fresh linens daily. The last night of my stay the power went out and I was able to get a full refund on t for the last night.
