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.

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 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 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.
