Hotels near Emerald Coast Zoo

"This place gives off timeshare vibes, get an affordable nightly rate, they nickel and dime you for every single thing, coffee is like a regular amenity at hotels right? Not this one, the only coffee available in the hotel is at their restaurant where there staff is very busy and you have to ask them to get you one if you want to bring it back to your room in the morning. The pool they advertise is FREEZING cold, there is a heated pool that is small and overcrowded (like an rv park type pool), two elevators in our building-one of which was broken down the entire time we were there, 6 floors of people-small elevator. They have a third party company put out chairs all over the beach front, they charge a TON for using them (and it blocks the view from every one else👎One available restaurant on the outdoor premises (sizzle and smash) was not even open on the day we wanted to try it out but was suppose to be from 11-5, nope. The rooms feel extremely moist…? Like wet, we had cookies in our room that got soggy after a day. Yes it’s on the beach. They have tons of very expensive drinks, sure, not much is regulated. This is not a kid/family friendly place, that’s all I have to say, pretty disappointing. All staff except the front desk is nice but probably not paid enough. Front desk does not answer phone calls and appear annoyed with any questions. The guy who check us in was very nice and there were a few that were nice but majority of the time this was the case. "
