What guests think

Across many reviews of Inn on the Gulf, travelers highlight the scenic Gulf views and sunsets, friendly and accommodating staff, very clean and spacious suite-style rooms, and an excellent on-site restaurant, while noting dated decor and occasional maintenance issues.

Multiple guests report parking can be difficult at busy times, and some mention noise from nearby venues or the restaurant. Rooms are generally large, many with kitchenettes and separate bedrooms, though some beds are firm or worn. Expect a laid-back, Old Florida stay with great food and views, plus a few quirks.

Great location. Great hotel and restaurant. Sorry to say, most eats around are outdoor, so when the heat is consistently over 100 degrees, their indoor seating was AWESOME. Loved the sunsets from the bay side.

Nice property across the street from the Gulf. The restaurant on-site was awesome! Great staff! There were a few other dining options within walking distance but decided from other reviews to try the motel restaurant and wasn’t disappointed! I would definitely visit again!

Things they didn’t mention: The motel setting is over a restaurant and is very loud until the restaurant staff goes home The motel is across the street from an open air venue with live music performances that is very loud until late at night The view is spectacular The rooms are huge but quite old There is no designated parking for hotel guests and because of the music venue and restaurant is impossible to get without parking blocks away The hotel desk is not staffed The rooms are non smoking but outside each room there are table and chairs with ashtrays for smokers so the smoke is heavy A disappointment for the money for sure.
