I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was nice and quiet, and the updates were impressive, I encountered issues with the cancellation policy that left a sour taste. Although the rooms were modern and clean, there was a slight smell that detracted from the comfort. Overall, it felt like a place trying to improve but still had some bumps to work out.

My family and I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff was friendly and the room was relatively clean, several issues detracted from our stay, especially considering the nearly $200 per night price point. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any breakfast provided, and the room amenities were lacking. The overall atmosphere was inviting, but it definitely needs some updating.

I had a nice stay in a unique hotel that used to be Elvis's summer home. The surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. The rooms are comfortable but definitely in need of updates. The dining options were a bit limited but still decent. Overall, it's a charming place if you're looking for a quieter experience away from the hustle and bustle.

I had a wonderful time at Gulf Hills Hotel! The rooms are clean and inviting, and the saltwater pool is a lovely feature. However, I did find the noise from golfers a bit disruptive in the mornings. The continental breakfast was decent but kept it simple. Overall, it's a charming spot with a unique historical vibe.
