Hotel Pensacola

Hotel Pensacola is at 6703 Pensacola Boulevard, on the US 29 corridor on Pensacola’s north side, a short drive south of the Interstate 10 interchange. The property dates from 2000. Marcus Pointe Baptist Church, one of the area’s large congregations, is about a mile away, and the Marcus Pointe Golf Club and business park are nearby.

The hotel has 50 rooms in several types, from standard doubles and kings to larger premium and deluxe rooms. Rooms have kitchenettes with a microwave and a refrigerator, which helps guests keep food costs down on longer visits. There is an outdoor pool and an on-site guest laundry, and WiFi is free. Breakfast is not included, and there is no restaurant, although Pensacola Boulevard has plenty of fast food and diners.

Self-parking is free. Dogs and cats are accepted, up to two per room, for a daily fee.

Expedia lists Five Flags Speedway about four and a half miles away, the University of West Florida about seven miles away and the Pensacola Bay Center about ten miles away, with Pensacola International Airport about eight minutes by car. Interstate 110 runs parallel to the boulevard, so downtown is roughly a 15 minute drive.

Hotel Pensacola suits budget travelers who want a kitchenette and a pool, pet owners and visitors to events at Marcus Pointe and Five Flags. As a smaller independent property, it offers a more modest experience than the chain hotels near the interstate, and travelers should confirm details such as pool hours directly with the front desk. The hotel is not to be confused with downtown hotels with similar names near Palafox Street. Its main appeal is the combination of in-room kitchenettes, a pool and a pet policy at a budget rate, a mix that is harder to find at the chain hotels closer to the interstate. Groceries are a short drive away on Pensacola Boulevard and North Davis Highway for stocking the kitchenette.
