Our take

Who it suits

Wake up across from the beach, with hot breakfast waiting.

Grab a free hot breakfast, cross Seawall Boulevard and you're on the sand in a minute. This stretch of the West End is quieter than the busy east end, so there's more beach to go around. Spend summer afternoons at the pool and park for free right outside. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10, with top marks for service. Ask for a room with a partial ocean view and you'll see the Gulf from your window.

Our price check: $91 for Wednesday, January 13, 2027, and $267 for Saturday, July 17, 2027 (2 adults, 1 night, with taxes).
