Hotels near Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, Escambia County

The Hilton in Pensacola delivered an incredible guest experience in every way. It's location on the beach was spectacular. Great views of the pier and beach from the guest room. The room itself was incredibly spacious and well appointed. The meeting space was spacious and well appointed. The food and beverage staff fed us like kings! Top notch experience in all aspects. Thank you for the hospitality.

This is one of the nicest IHG properties that I have stayed in. Lobby, amenities and room were all very clean and modern. The breakfast was very good and there was fresh grapefruit every morning. The very best part of the stay, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful. It seemed that they were all part of an engaged team that enjoyed working together. The location of the property is great- walking distance to restaurants, a museum and good bars.

We stayed in this hotel once before Covid and loved it. Now it's even better. There were many great touches, like the lace curtains leading to the balcony with patio furniture overlooking the beach. There was a nice long desk and a long bathroom counter for toiletries. The thermostat-controlled heat worked well. The towels were large and fluffy. The breakfast was beautifully laid out and the hot oatmeal had ample condiments for it. I have only two suggestions. The bathroom fan turns on when the light switch is turned on. This makes it drafty when showering. It would also be nice to be able to leave the fan running without the light. Also, the shower stall could use another grab-bar. It's necessary to release the grab-bar when adjusting the water temperature, and the tub could be slippery. Overall, this was the nicest, cleanest hotel we stayed in during our 16-day road trip.

We have never stayed at a Hampton before so of course we were not expecting too much, what we experienced was way above expectation. The staff did everything they could to make our stay pleasant housekeeping was spot on the continental breakfast was fantastic in the front desk was outstanding thank you Hampton will be back.

We had such a great stay in Pensacola and all the better for the unexpectedness of it all. We had originally intended to stop in Destin but didn’t much like the look of it so carried on down the road. Luckily I had a guide book which mentioned this brilliant refurbished 1950s motel right in the centre of the city. The bars and restaurants are all within easy walking distance so very convenient for the travel weary driver, and it meant having a drink without worrying. The rooms aren’t huge but the bed was super comfortable, it’s spotlessly clean and we arrived just in time for beer, wine and snacks in the lobby. Breakfast is pretty much a grab and go but everything was available for you, again in the lobby. Yogurts, energy bars, tea and coffee etc. It’s great value and we can’t recommend it more highly - in fact it’s one of the favourite stops along our long road trip.

Overview: This is from a Diamond Member who travels over 200 days a year. If you’re looking for a Hilton Property that overlooks a beautiful beach with easy access to the beach and water – then the Hampton will work for you. With only 4 Floors (Highly Recommend 4th Floor – overlooking beach – other side just looks over a parking lot), ample parking and large rooms with fast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds and window a/c’s that push out very cold air (but are also quite loud). This is a very well used property, and you will notice wear & tear if you look around – I saw maintenance personnel every day working hard to repair and replace things. Why 4-stars: Couple of things just didn’t work well – and should when one pays for a service and expects that level of service. Texted the hotel upon arrival (via the app) a couple of times and never got a response. When I checked in (an hour past the time stated by the hotel) the room was not ready, staff did make a change but tried to move me to the 2nd floor w/o asking me (remember I had picked a 4th floor room w/virtual key) so I had to get me moved back to the 4th floor…..and then had to ask if I could have my 2-waters as a diamond member. I get places are short staffed and I was OK with having to remove my own trash and ask for towels to replace used ones….but simple things should be easy to take care of. A few challenges in the room also added to the rating – however still a solid hotel for a beach stay. Next door is a Hilton property if you prefer – but it is quite large so many more guest to deal with this property never seemed busy except at breakfast. If back will look to stay here again – 4th Floor overlooking beach! Tips to Help w/Stay: 8-minute drive to where a Publix and Walmart Neighborhood grocery stores are to grab some snacks (no places on Island – except a Circle K) and the rooms have a decent size frig to hold beverages and a few snacks. 25-minute drive to Pensacola airport. Next door are two restaurants (Crabs & ???) that allow you to walk up in swimsuits and eat. Across the street (easy walk) is Alvin’s to pick up forgotten beach things or grab a souvenir. Early morning walks before the beaches fill up are recommended and either direction offer stunning water, sand, and views. The hotel offers a large breakfast selection (I don’t do these so can’t comment on quality) but it seemed to be well utilized and the offerings (hot and cold) looked OK as I walked by. Finally, there are numerous restaurants within a 2–5-minute walk and many more to choose from via a 3 – 5 drive to either show up in your bathing suit (next to hotel) or get a little more dressed up for a good dinner.
