This place had bad reviews before I went so I was expecting the worse. Once I arrived the clerks where very friendly and helpful. Rooms where very clean. Parking was some what of a challenge but when I when it was during thunder beach so that was expected. I will return and recommend the reef to others.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decrepit hotel right ona beautiful beach."
Hated it. Tried to get out of second night but could not get a refund, so toughed it out. Seems like they are not doing any maintenance, waiting to tear down the place because the location is spectacular.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"We enjoyed our stay!"
Our room was clean and had an amazing beach view. Some things in the room need to be updated but it is a value hotel. But we were very happy with our stay. The hotel was just like it was described on the website. It was a good value and in an excellent location close to everything. The staff was super nice. And check-in and check-out was very quick. […] We would stay here again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Horrible"
The 1st room we had the tv didn't work. Toilet wouldn't flush. Shower went every where when u turned the water on. Blood on my sheet. Beds were hard. Tube drained slow. 2nd room not much better. Shower water every where had to take a bath. Beds still hard. WoulGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cheap Hotel"
I loved the inital price, then being on the beach was nice. BUT i wonder if they had any groundskeepers. There was blood all over the walkway out back. It was gross. They should clean stuff like that. And then i had my shower leak all week. The sound was annoying. But i can only complain about those two things. For the price it was worth it. but i wont […] go back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Aged tower"
THE DOORS AND DOOR LOCKS TO ROOMS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I was very uncomfortable not knowing if the lock on the door was properly set and could not be opened from the out side. The lock on the balcony door of my room on the second floor was an interior door lock. this means that it could be opened from the outside with a stylus. The entrance door lock […] was difficult to operate, probably due to corrosion from the sea air. Also, there was no coffee service in the room. Additionally there was no TV channel listing available in writing or on the TV. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"perfect spring break hotel!"
I went with friends during spring break season. I was really thankful our room had a private balcony and working kitchen. It is also extremely close to Sharkys, which is a great outdoor night club/bar. The staff was incredibly friendly. I thought coming into this the staff would be a little fed up with spring breakers but they were all smiles and willing […] to help us out with whatever we needed.

"Great View of the Ocean."
This is our second visit in two months. This room was ok but the heater did not work so we were chilly at night. Our toilet leaked but after putting a town on the floor it was nota a problem. The hotel was doing some updating so we had to endure construction noise while we tried to watch a race on TV.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Maric Review"
Great stay for Ironman Florida (traithlon event).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great time!"
We had a great stay,- everyone was friendly and helpful. If you want room service this is not for you. If you want a place to be on the beach and destress-this is it! Open the back door and there was the ocean, doesn't get any better than that.Genuine Expedia guest review
"it was NOTHING I EXPECTED AFTER SEEING THE PICTURE"
The website is misleading, the pictures are nothing like the rooms, no fridge, no microwave, no coffeepot the rooms stunk, we had to buy fabreeze, beds slept horrible. I feel we over paid for our stay. There are NO beach chairs expect rentals for you on the beach!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"we love panama city beach"
Its a decent place to stay where the staff was friendly and helpful.also a great view of the ocean.i will stay here again. And the beds were comfortableGenuine Expedia guest review
"Bargain"
The price was a real bargain to be on the beach. The hotel was very clean; however, it could use a little updating. Not complaining, price & location excellent! I would stay here again .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Our room was okay. No coffee maker in the room as confirmed in my reservation. The girl at the check-in counter was not very friendly when we arrived - made us wait while she typed on her computer, didn't make eye contact and made us feel like we picked the wrong place to stay. No housekeeping service on Saturday, 9/22. However, other staff members […] were friendly and we would stay here again because of the comfortable beds & pillows.

"do not stay hear"
u might not have a place to park your car. the balcony was nasty u need shoes to go out there. the tv was a small and very old. room was not at all like picks on ad.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Will stay again"
The hotel was a little dated but they were in the middle of renovations(did not interfere..noise etc. at all). The staff was very friendly and gave us good advice on local favorite hidden places to visit. The location was great, a few steps from the beach and all rooms had balconies that were beach side. Only 4 floors and not some highrise made it intimate.I […] will stay again and recommend to anyone. And the price was great. The only con was no coffee pot in the room which I did miss.

"Away from the main"
They stay was good. I think of Motel6 meets beach front but I wasn't there to just stay in the room. It's about a 25 min walk from pier park which was the busiest place of the area and about 25 min drive to the west end of the the beach. Limited parking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"On the beach"
Aircondition leaked carpet in room was wet Door locks were a pain to use On the beach so it worked for what we neededGenuine Expedia guest review
Good location on beach. Parking is horrible. Parking lot is shared with popular restaurant/ bar so patrons park where hotel guests park leaving guests driving around looking for parking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location!"
Close to everything! Hotel could use a little upkeep like painting on the outside. Wish the pool was on the beachside. Good experience for the price!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to beach and Pier Park"
Overall this room was not bad. We were on the beach and there were a lot of activities that you could sign up for there. I would have liked the locks a little more secure. I also found what they provided in the room to be "bare bones". We only received 4 towels. I would expect this in a European hotel but not in the United States. We only got a couple […] of soaps, but no washrags or hand towels. I brought my own coffee pot...thank goodness because there was not one in the room. They did have an iron and board and a hair dryer. One of the things that I really missed was ice. The one ice machine that they had was always empty and the office offered that I buy a bag of ice for my ice bucket. Overall for a few days at the beach...not bad.

"review of the reef"
overall good motel and location only complaint was beds. bad condtion could not get close to edge without falling off. need to replaceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Don't go to the Reef"
When we checked in at the Reef we were very disappointed in the rooms. They claimed that the rooms were just remodeled but the ceilling had paint peeling, the tv cabinet was falling apart and the refrigerator was not clean. We went back to the front desk and told them how bad the room was and the clerk told us about another property that they owned […] which was next door. So for the same price we were able to stay at the Seahaven Hotel and had a better room. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Beach Front"
The front desk people were very nice. Housekeeping was ok, forgot us one day. Asked for four extra pillows and got two. Decor was as expected. Beach front with great view of the ocean. Easy access to the beach. Convenient location. Although we never had a problem ourselves but there seem to be a parking problem. I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot […] with out the parking pass because they were dining at sharkys. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"right on the beach"
Location was great , service was okay , and parking was horrific! Quality of room didn't match the rates but it eventually grew on us . Turned out to be okay . The service workers were fine but they also were doing work on the building using a JLG lift the whole week . Noisy and in the way . But overall a slightly better than average stay .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This place was better then i thought it was going to be the only problem we had was the shower curtin wasnt there so we just bath with it wide open just a place to sleep and shower was greatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"All around wonderful family place,ideal for childr"
We had a great time. The children's program was wonderful. The beach was clean and easy to access. The kids ate free next door at Sharky's. Rooms were ideal for fixing breakfast and lunch.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"What a sad experience!"
not pleasant at all. Not even a coffe pot in the room. I requested a piece of paper o send a fax they didn´t have any.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect for beach bums :)"
This hotel was perfect for waking up and laying on the beach. The only thing missing from our room was a kitchen. If we'd had a kitchen we would have never gone anywhere other than the beach and our room. It was such a good price and right on the beach, that we didn't care how nice the room was. Our room was clean, the door locked, the air conditioner […] drowned out outside noise. We got fresh towels and housekeeping cleaned the sand from the tile. This is no Hilton hotel, but if your goal is to get a tan and enjoy the gulf, then it is perfectly fine. The pool was also VERY clean. Parking really wasn't an issue either- on the holiday week we were there we always had a spot in front of the hotel. The other reviews for this hotel were very misleading. It isn't the nicest thing, but the crappy furniture is definitely a sacrifice I was willing to make to have a cheap beachfront room. My real complaint was how busy and packed Panama city was in general. Next time I will get a room with a kitchen so we don't ever need to go out anywhere! If you're not a diva and are going to the beach for the sake of the beach, this room is fine! If you're going there to sit in a hotel and never leave the room, then go waste your time and money at a Hilton. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Would stay again"
Hotel is what you can expect for the price. Needs paint, bathroom updates, new elevator, and more parking! Parking is horrible...everyone eating at Sharkeys next door parks in the hotels parking lot, which makes the guests park 1 block away. Walk is not bad if you don't have anything to carry, but forget it if you are trying to unload! Hotel is clean […] and has a great view of beach. Hotel is located between the county pier and city pier, so firework shows are great! Every room has a private balcony which was nice. Located near road so loud at night with people screaming and honking. Just needs some updating, but would stay again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not my favorite hotel"
Positives: The staff was exceptionally nice. The location was amazing. All rooms have a great view of the ocean as the hotel sits right on the ocean. Great beach access. Right next door to Sharky's Tiki Bar which offers wonderful food and drinks. Very inexpensive in comparison with other hotels. Negatives: Beds are hard as a rock. Absolutely no amenities […] other than a hair dryer and TV. No coffee maker, no microwave, no refrigerator, no internet, nothing! The room looked like it had been beaten to heck and back with paint missing from some of the walls, carpets were worn and stained, doors had large cracks between the door and the door pane. Stayed three nights and the room was only cleaned once during our stay. Stairwell leaked and smell of urine. Parking was basically impossible. Basically if all you need is a place to lay your head at night and are not concerned with having a clean room, go for it. However, if you want a clean room, internet or possibly a place to store a cold drink, forget it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
It was anice rm but needs work. The tv remote didn't work, no ice in ice "ICE MACHINE" as in one for everyone. The staff keeps the elavator tied up most of thu time, ask for towels got towels 1 time 4 days got them off cart! The beach was nice and clean guys doin good job taking care of the beach. Over all was disapointed with this trip i booked with […] Hotels . Com and they charged me way to much for this trip. Dont book this place no coffee pot in rm Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great view and service...room needs work!"
We loved the location and the view!!! It was amazing!! The pool was great and the service was superb! The room is a totally different story. The bathroom seemed ok until we went to shower. The shower would not drain, then the toliet would run and we would have to stop it. The carpet was old and very, very dirty. The beds were pretty clean, but the sheets […] didn't fit properly and were ripped from apparent attempts to keep them on. The hotel was in very bad condition...the balcony needed cleaning and updating. For a quick stay directly on the beach it was fine. You can't beat the location!!! The pool was clean and we had an amazing ocean view!!! Plus the service of the front desk was amazing!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Reef"
Staff was nice, helpful. The plumbing needs some work, I bet all the pipes are full of sand - tub drained slow. Great beach area and pool. I would come back for the price.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Open to the beach"
The only thing I enjoyed about this hotel is that my family and I only had to stay one night. There was not coffee maker in the room and I had to request toilet paper for the bathroom because there was none. There was an ironing board, but no iron. We had made a reservation for a room with a refrig/micro and when I inquired about it, the front desk […] worker said that I could get a refund from the site that book my reservation and that they had nothing to do with that. The hotel was really worn down and you could hear conversations from the next room. They do not have enough parking spaces to accommodate the guest and offer parking across the street from the restaurant next door. Not good when you have luggage to carry. We will definitely not be staying here if we return to Panama City Beach. Also, they still use hard copy key for the rooms and do not offer wi-fi for the room (only in the lobby) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"General evaluation"
For money they ask I expected higther quality, but it is chip hotel/motel. As for chip hotel service is ok. Location is good, windows looking to the ocean, and this is the best of the hotel. If you don't paying attention to the crowd, difficulty and overcrowded parking lots, everything is ok. Petty is too chip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Could be better, not worth the price"
my stay was a week long I was very disappointed in the fact that we did not have a microwave or a refrigerator, because we were planning on eating in most nights. but overall the view from our room and the room itself was nice.. parking was not ideal, because it shared a lot with the next door resturant so around diner time out was impossible to find […] a spot.

"Great location!"
They had bad ratings but I am soo glad I took a chance. I was VERY pleased with the location. I was there thru Memorial Day weekend and as a Soldier they were accommodating.The only complaint I had was the handles in the shower werent 100% and the one ice machine that worked never had ice in it. But the staff at the front desk were so sweet and helpful. […] I loved that I could walk across the street for a &3.00 innertube, unblock, ATM, OH! and Sharkys is a great atmosphere with live music and great ribs! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Never again!"
We checked in, went to our room, changed clothes and went to the beach. My husband went in a couple of hours later to use the restroom and discovered the toilet wouldn't work. He tried to call the front desk and the phone didn't work. He had to go find somebody to report it to and when the maintenance person came, it was determined that the water supply […] to the toilet had been turned off because it couldn't be fixed right away. We were moved to another room which required us to move everything to another floor with no help from the staff. All of this took about 2 hours. The clean up staff were wonderful and had great personalities; everyone else needs help. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"OK for its price"
The property is old, needs attention, and could be better maintained. Almost no WiFi, old TV with bad picture quality, broken chairs, parking issues, etc. However, if you are there to enjoy the beach, like me, you would not care. You need the hotel only for a wash, and sleep. The location is great: ocean front, good dining options, nice pool, etc.Genuine Expedia guest review
"waterfront-sleep only"
This was on the beach and very affordable. The front desk staff was more than friendly. It needs chairs on the balconies. It is a good place for a cheap stay if you are not going to be in the room much.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the room is perfect for spring break cheep and on the beach but the workers except for the nice lady at the desk all must hate there job because it was very hard to get them to do anything for usGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Had a great stay on spring break"
Went here for Spring Break and it was a great location! Next to Sharky's was really convenient for students or anyone looking to have a good time at night and the Bloody Mary's are AMAZING and if you order a margarita or things like that you get a souvenir cup! I thought the rooms were exactly what we paid for and its nice that they all have a balcony […] and are looking at the ocean. We never had a problem finding a parking spot and the staff was really polite you just have to be polite to them (obviously). But I would recommend this hotel more for Students or anyone looking for an alright place to stay and also a good time. Wouldn't suggest this place to diva's or someone that is picky about the little things. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
