Crowne Plaza Pensacola Grand

Very nice hotel. My wife and I were there to be with our son who was graduation from A school at Corry Station. Great location in the middle of Pensacola. Walking distance from the water front and restaurants like McGuires. The hotel, as you can read is built on the L&N railroad passenger depot from 1912. That part of the hotel (the lobby, bar and restaurant) are supper cool. Lots of original tilework and decor. The staff is very, very nice and pleasant. Nothing negative to report there. The hotel rooms are getting a bit on the dated side but they were clean and no major complaints. The free WiFi was excellent. The Cavu Club is super cool with lots of Navy aviation pictures on the walls. I'd recommend seeing it even if you weren't staying there. I didn't eat at the 1912 Restaurant but it seemed like a very nice place. Trains do pass right next to the hotel once in a while but I guess that didn't bother me too much. The trains will blow their horns as they run past. Overall, I very much recommend the hotel especially for the price, history, staff and location.

My wife and I were in town for the White Tie event at the Saenger. We decided to stay here due to location. The rooms were comfortable with a nice, large bed. We liked the history of the train station. The hotel is very clean and the staff was very nice and hospitable. After the Saenger we stopped by the bar for a nightcap. The bartenders were attentive and polite. Terri was so pleasant and we enjoyed the history and the ghost story. We loved the ambiance of the bar and the salute to the Blue Angels.

This hotel really has character. Well restored old rail station. Room large, clean and comfortable. Large comfy bed. Easy to get to from the freeway. It has it's own restaurant or there are restaurants within walking distance.
