Pros:

There was a lady on the 3rd Shift(Overnight Staff) that's was Very Helpful and Aplogenic.

The Manager Was Standing there Hearing Me Voice My Issues with The Front Desk Lady.

It Wasn't Until I Asked to Speak To A Manager. That She Turned And Pointed as He Held Up his Finger and said He's the Manager.

I Won't Recommend This Hotel to Anyone.

I'll be back in Panama City Next Week.

I Won't Stay There.

Feel cheated for the cost
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

I booked beach front and got a cheap room across the street behind the main motel . And a severe storms came and the hotel locked the closest door to cover and safety leaving several people to run totally around the hotel for safety, no hair dryers in rooms. And parking was hit and miss.

This was the perfect weekend getaway without breaking the bank! lol
Pros:

The pool, the beach access, the fact that the property is a bit away from the hustle and bustle - meaning the beach is not crowded. But also only a quick drive to all the hustle and bustle, when you want it. lol overall a great stay!

Cons:

No dislikes to note.
