10/10 Exceptional

We loved this place! Check in was quick. The room was beautifully decorated and super clean. The bed is slightly firm but comfy. There’s a speakeasy on property and the bartenders and drinks were amazing! The hotel is in the heart of downtown Gulfport and it’s easy to walk to a lot of bars/restaurants. We’d stay here again!

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Pristine accommodations. We loved the room and it's location to the beach and restaurants. The front desk staff was kind, friendly and professional. Although the Social Club and bar felt exactly that. We sat for 5 minutes at the bar and not one bartender or waitstaff acknowledged us or let us know we were sitting in the wrong place. Instead they messaged the front desk to come escort us out of the front bar and to the back bar. It was very uncomfortable for us. We decided to not eat there and instead went to Half Shell Oyster house where the service and food was 10/10! Make a reservation at the Siren Club if you want to eat dinner there, perhaps then they won't make you feel out of place.

Staff was friendly and outgoing. Nice bar and restaurant attached. Clean room…I think it converted from an older building. A lot of charm; not all rooms have windows. Good location-walking distance from downtown
