The property has potential to be great. Great location. Great accommodations. However, the front desk had no staff. There was an electronic keypad for check in and check out. And there were many issues. Even saw a person in the parking lot who was attempting to check out with a person over the phone. I’m still working thru multiple charges on my card. I hope they can figure things out. It’s got great potential!

Weekend getaway

Staff was super friendly and check in and out was extremely easy. We had the first room in the front next to the door and stairs for the first night was a little loud but calmed down quick. Would recommend a softer close door in the hallway to help. Besides the that room was great and clean. Would definitely stay again for the good price and location.

This place was perfectly put together, clean, elegant, and the restaurant is next level. Everything we tried I’m already craving again. The staff was friendly and helpful at every turn, they were fully booked but made me and my guest feel well taken care of.

This was billed as a boutique hotel, when we got there, there was supposed to be some check in at the front desk with nobody there and on a iPad. The iPad was showing that I owed more money and I had already paid in full for the visit. Thank God, the restaurant manager was able to come and help us because it was wanting me to basically pay double. When we got to the bedroom with a king size bed in it on both sides of the king size bed there was a foot and a half a room is all so the room was actually small compared to the bed. The bathroom was good size and fairly well stocked. I did appreciate that they had some Q-tips in the bathroom which I used, and they came in conveniently. As for the room itself, the person who picked out the fixtures for the room did not take very good care or was not looking to color coordinate to a whole lot. Nothing seemed to match the lamp. One was white one was dark brown off color, black something like that, the stand at the TV was on was wood with metal which kind of went with the one lamp their lights in the room work from several different switches. The the light fixture in the middle of the ceiling did not go with anything in the room. And it was an ornate type of fixture and did not go with the room at all. The room was easy to access, however, it was next-door to the kitchen and the public restrooms and on a Saturday night there was a lot of noise all night long, which made it very difficult to get any sleep. The hotel was Miami lifestyle.

This is sure to become the new gem of the gulf coast. Revitalizing the old downtown is going to lead to a new golden age for this area of town. Beautiful, quaint, boutique in style, this is destined to go down as THE place to stay. Plus it’s only a block away from the Amtrak station. Definitely one to repeat.

This may be the coolest property in Gulfport. What a really great find Hotel Vela was. Our only disappointment was that we were passing through when the restaurant was not open. Sounds like a reason to go back.
