The property was nice and the room was clean. The staff was nice and willing to help. Pool was kept clean and they sent out text messages when the pool would be closed for cleaning. Overall it was a nice place to stay just steps from the sand.

We had a very pleasant experience staying here. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so we were given a parking pass and told we could use the facilities and beach access while we waited. Our room was just steps from the beach. We'd definitely stay here again!

While the exterior looks outdated, the view from the beachfront room made the experience worth the stay. The staff was great. There was a bonfire on the beach with smores one night and live music by the pool each evening. The only complaint was the shower, which lacked pressure. Overall, would stay again based on experience and price difference from some of the neighboring hotels.

The Château is one of the best reasonably priced motels on Panama City Beach. It’s definitely not the Ritz Carlton, but it gets the job done. I like staying here with my son because I can watch him at the pool and at the beach from my balcony. You are literally steps away from the beach. It is also conveniently located to restaurants and entertainment places. If you don’t mind staying in a clean, no frills, older motel, then this is the spot for you. The staff was also very friendly and super helpful.

It can be better it can be worse. For the price it can be fun. There is not an elevator and beach front is 2 flights down. Though a minute walk to your beach spot is worth it. Staff was short with wife when we got in but quickly fixed. No issues with construction when we stayed, just a fire alarm for a night. Parking was bad first night but better during the week. Restaurant next door is great and several spots within walking distance. Would come back
