Southern Suites Pensacola Davis

Southern Suites Pensacola Davis is at 9357 North Davis Highway, on the northern stretch of Davis Highway near the University of West Florida. Expedia lists the university about a mile away, roughly a 16 minute walk. Booking sites also show the property under the name HomeStay Lodge Pensacola Davis, and some older listings use Southern Suites Pensacola Davis without the extended-stay label.

The property has 124 rooms set up for longer stays. Each has a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, a microwave and a stovetop, plus a separate dining area, so guests can cook most of their own meals. Housekeeping is weekly rather than daily, which is typical of extended-stay motels, and there are vending machines on site. WiFi and self-parking are free. There are no elevators, and designated smoking areas are outside.

Dogs and cats are allowed for a daily fee with a cap per stay.

Expedia lists the Pensacola Bay Center about ten miles away, the Saenger Theatre about 11 miles away and Naval Air Station Pensacola about 16 miles away, with Pensacola International Airport about 19 minutes by car. Restaurants and gas stations are nearby on Davis Highway, and grocery stores are a short drive south.

Southern Suites suits students between housing, visiting faculty, medical workers at the nearby Baptist and Davis Highway clinics and anyone relocating to Pensacola who needs an inexpensive base for a few weeks. The kitchenettes and weekly rates are the main draw. It is a basic property, so travelers should confirm room features and the check-in schedule in advance, especially for late arrivals. For shorter stays, the chain hotels at the Interstate 10 exit 13 interchange are about three miles south, and UWF’s campus, with its nature trails and sports events, is close enough for a quick drive or bike ride. Weekly rates are available.
