Gulfport weekend
Air conditioner could use a cleaning in room 12 I'm assuming that's why it couldn't keep up with the heat outside during our stay. Wifi was very weak as well. Maybe it's because of the building. Otherwise, everything else was great. Staff was very friendly, the bed was comfy, room was very clean, towels were high quality. Great location near a bunch of nice eateries.

Fantastic place!!!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was really neat, very clean, and new. The attached restaurant and bar was nice. We stopped in for a few cocktails and enjoyed the outdoor patio. Great atmosphere! Overall very satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend.

Be prepared to pay for everything.
Check-in was difficult and different payments were coming off my card that wasn't authorized, and we tried to have the issue rectify but it kept happening. That issue dampen our stay, so this might be our last time staying at the Vela Hotel.
