Quality Inn & Suites Gulf Breeze Bayside

Quality Inn & Suites Gulf Breeze Bayside is at 51 Gulf Breeze Parkway, on the Pensacola Bay shoreline at the Gulf Breeze end of the Pensacola Bay Bridge, next door to the Hampton Inn & Suites. Some booking sites list it as Quality Inn & Suites On The Bay. The hotel looks across the bay toward downtown Pensacola rather than the Gulf, and Pensacola Beach is a few miles south across the Bob Sikes Bridge.

The two-story hotel has 117 rooms, and bay views are available. A complimentary hot breakfast is served each morning, and there is an outdoor pool that runs year round, though it is not heated. The property also has an on-site restaurant and lounge, three meeting rooms with more than 6,000 square feet of space, a business center and free WiFi.

Small pets are accepted for a daily fee.

The meeting space and bayfront setting make this a common choice for reunions, weddings and group trips, and the location is handy for both downtown Pensacola, about five miles away, and the Gulf Islands National Seashore at Fort Pickens. It suits travelers who want water views and quick beach access at a lower cost than a Gulf-front hotel. Gulf Breeze Parkway’s restaurants and shops are a short drive east, and the Gulf Breeze peninsula’s quiet neighborhoods make for easy evening walks and bike rides.
