Hotels near Carl Gray Park, Panama City

At first glance the room looks nice. They have done renovations so the rooms don’t look like the photos. The bathroom smelled musty and upon further inspection there was mildew/mold. Dirty marks on walls & headboards. The ironing board needs a clean cover and there is no iron. The door latch is loose. I wasn’t expecting the best room quality because of the price but cleaning dirty spots off walls and mold out of the shower curtain and shower ceiling edges. I closed the bathroom door and turned on the vent because I only had to stay for a few hours but any other time I would have reported it and moved rooms. Oh and the pillows are throw pillow sized not even standard sleeping pillows and the wifi is unreliable with poor signal and keep disconnecting. This room number is 119. I did report the issues to the front desk when I left so hopefully they fix these problems.

The hotel is beautiful, the facilities are new, the rooms are super comfortable, we loved everything, if I had to say a negative point it would be the distance from the beach, it is 20 minutes away.

I came here to stay for 3 days. I have a school I have to take class. First time I've been here normally I stay across the bridge over on the grand lagoon side. Rooms are clean so far it's clean the snack machine is not refrigerated so the Reese's cups are melted. Anybody that's been in the vending business knows you need climate control machines in the summertime for sure. I thought the price was a little high especially should have gotten a better rate I thought being a choice rewards member. I'll probably try and get a little bit closer to the school.

The room is spacious and comfortable, and the price/performance ratio is good. There are retired grandparents on duty at the front desk. There is breakfast but it ends very early.

The breakfast was pretty good. Overall was just a standard sleep over and leave experience. Hotel was pretty clean as well and quiet.

Terrible experience! Upon arrival on 09/03/2023, I checked in my reservation and was placed in rm 106. Immediately I noticed the AC wasn’t working, I notified staff and they pressed a few buttons and said it’s working now. My family and I then headed to the beach where we stayed for the next several hours until past nightfall. After returning to the hotel, our room was ridiculously hot. I notified staff again and this is where the horrible encounter occurred. The lady working the front desk told me to “suck it up”, she also said “its not my problem and there’s nothing I can do for you” I was appalled by such rudeness. I called the number off the Wyndham main website and spoke with someone who then called the front desk and didn’t get ab answer. I called the number again and another person finally reached the front desk, the lady came in the room, stayed for a few minutes to verify the AC wasn’t working properly and it wasn’t until then that my family were accommodated to a different room. Unfortunately, that AC wasn’t working properly either, but after the difficulties I just encountered, I opted to not even bother complaining to the front desk. I rate this establishment 0/5.

Wonderful stay — depending on what the guest is looking for. To start, this motel is a step back in time. Late 1950s, early 1960s vibe. This would be OG Panama City Beach, folks. From the parking lot, this is straight out of a movie set from mid century America. The “front desk” is in a round building separate from the motel — the way they used to be when folks hit the road for long vacations and drove up to their room area. Free coffee in the check in area and the absolutely nicest front desk staff you will ever meet. Friendly, attentive staff is a hallmark of this place. Lots of staff on hand to help out. I have stayed in $500/night hotels on NYC’s prime areas and not had staff this attentive and friendly. The room was large (especially by modern standards), bed comfy and balcony overlooked pool and the Gulf. Refrigerator was larger than the standard hotel mini-fridge and can hold quite a bit of food. Microwave is standard hotel size. The pool was hopping. Lots of families, retirees and young adults. Teenagers took over at night and had a great time. A huge checkers and chess board was fun for the kids to clown around with. There are steps to the beach, and you can get umbrella and chairs set up down there. Lots of people just seemed to picnic by the pool or sun deck, and had drinks at pool bar. Plenty of towels available for the pool chairs. Again, staff is amazing. They are even patient when a dozen children (age 10 or so and under) from lots of different families pile into the bar chairs and ask for glasses of water that are served with a smile and as if those soaking wet kids are the most important guests they have. Now, for why this place isn’t for everybody: building design is vintage, no-nonsense concrete and brick. It is not a modern high-rise. There is no elevator. If you need help, tell staff in advance, and they will put you on the parking lot level so you can drive to your door. There are ice machines on the east side of each level. It is not fancy, and if you want modern, this is not it. Remember, one person’s “dated” is another person’s time-travel fun. This is a step back to mid century US vacation heyday. The biggest difference from that era: The mix of guests is delightfully diverse. In short: I found it to be a fun place, clean, comfortable, had all the amenities we needed and was a good value. Would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend to folks who would appreciate the vibe. I hope someone doesn’t come in and “update it” beyond its historic roots.

Great trip! We stayed in unit 523 ,on the 22nd through 26th of Sept. 2022, there was an elevator just steps from our door and made it very convenient for my wife and Me to get to the pool “exited right by pool entrance and very close to beach access. There was a hot breakfast every morning , eggs, pancakes , and biscuits and gravy, which was very nice. All the staff we encountered were very courteous and friendly. They had activities for kids and adults at the pool area. Housekeeping was provided every day, they were very friendly. There was a daily extra resort fee of about $15.00 we had to pay upon arrival. Overall The Days Inn at PCB was a Great a stay. Would book again.
