Top Seaside Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Panama City Beach

6/10 Okay

"Short staffed."

Radisson Beachfront Hotel - Panama City Beach

4/10 Poor

"The Staff had moments of niceness but not the best. Asked for linen change on bed ad they made the bed with the same linen that I told them smelled a little sweaty after 4 days and we told them no need for rooms= service except the one day we asked. We asked for them to sweep nothing, so I asked to borrow a broom and I swept. That was part of the request I made for the one day of room service requested. Fridge leaked all six days and we just cleaned it up. One staff told us with clear detail of what we needed to do if we needed to check out early and was told we'd get a full refund. the manager played like she didn't know who i was talkiing about and then remember oh yea, he just started the Friday after he explained in great detail of what needed to ne done on Saturday. That's not a one day employee, I'm sorry. She offered me the resort fee back of $123 dollors bu but they would keep the $300 that was left for two days of early checkout. Talking wiht other guess the place they felt has really gone down and the service just isn't where it us to be. We have made a note to never stay at this Radisson again. Disappointed for sure!"

Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, a By The Sea Resort

2/10 Terrible

"This was the worst hotel (condition wise) that I have ever stayed at in the last 20 years. It was dirty, rundown, noisy, and the staff could not have cared less. The ocean front balcony was unusable as there was water (dripping from the room above) covering most of the floor of the balcony with black mold. There was black mold on the ceiling above where the water was dripping from, so this was not a recent problem. I reported this to the person working the front desk, and he said they were working on it, (they weren't). I asked to change rooms, and he said they were completely booked. Also, the pictures on the Hotels.com listing must have been from when this place first opened, so if you were to imagine that same room after 30 year of wear and neglect, that's what it looks like. I won't even try to describe the bathroom. If we hadn't checked in so late, I would have left. I'm still amazed at the recent reviews this place received. Either they're family members, or we just got the worst room available because we were late checking in. Either way, this place should be bought, torn down and rebuilt, because it does have an incredible view of the beach, ocean and a great location."
