Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Room was wonderful. We had one day that we had a lack of water pressure but it was storming pretty bad outside and there was flooding in the area. It may have contributed to the water pressure in the room. Other than that hotel was very good with closing the amenities if it stormed and reopen when it was safe. Food was a little expensive for what you got but being on the beach was amazing. Would recommend this hotel!"

"For the price, it was definitely worth it. It was obvious that it was an older hotel, but it seems the ice machines and elevators were recently upgraded. The staff was VERY courteous and helpful. I love that all rooms have balconies, so you don’t have to worry about that. The only issue was the lack of room for more chairs by the pool."

"Lucked up into this hotel after being scammed by the 3 nights, 4 days for 59.00 that was all over Facebook😭 We had drove 3 hrs to get here and denied at the door . I searched for hotels with reasonable room rates and found this hotel, we booked through Expedia, and we were wonderfully surprised by our room at how clean the rooms were, the room was like an apt. The bedroom was separate, had a dining room table and a couch in the living room. There was a nice bathroom and kitchen area with a full size fridge. The staff was very nice and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely book here again if we ever come back again. We sure appreciated finding this place ! I would recommend this place to anyone!"
