Comfort Inn Pensacola – University Area

Comfort Inn Pensacola – University Area is at 8080 North Davis Highway, just north of Interstate 10 exit 13 on the road toward the University of West Florida. Expedia lists University Town Plaza about seven tenths of a mile away, Pensacola State College about three miles, Cordova Mall about four and a half miles and Naval Air Station Pensacola about 14 miles.

The five-story hotel has 115 rooms, each with a microwave and a refrigerator. A free breakfast buffet is served every morning, with a little extra time on weekends. The outdoor pool has loungers and umbrellas, and the hotel offers a guest laundry and dry cleaning service. WiFi and self-parking are free.

Up to two dogs or cats are welcome under a weight limit, with a fee and a refundable deposit. There is no on-site restaurant or bar and no shuttle, but the interchange restaurants and Grizzly Axes, an axe-throwing venue about two miles away, are close.

This Comfort Inn is a practical stop for Interstate 10 travelers, parents visiting UWF and budget-minded families who want breakfast and a pool without paying for full service. Downtown Pensacola is about 15 minutes south and Pensacola Beach about half an hour, so it works as a base for a few days of sightseeing as long as you have a car. The dry cleaning service is handy for business travelers with meetings in town.
