Services & Events
The 40,000 sq ft convention center includes ballrooms, a pavilion, and beachfront event spaces. Five-Star Audio Visual handles AV needs. Pet-friendly rooms allow two dogs ($20/day). Free Wi-Fi is available. Complimentary tickets to local attractions can be redeemed in advance.
“This Panama City Beach budget option appears to struggle with upkeep, especially given concerns about mold and structural integrity. Parking limitations and reports of noise further detract, suggesting better values exist elsewhere. While check-in may be quick, the overall experience seems inconsistent with expectations.”
