Very clean and friendly people. Don’t understand why you would have to pay them to park your vehicle in their parking lot. Other than that it was great.

The hotel is beautiful! Great areas for photos. The Siren Social Club in located in the lobby, great drinks.
The only downside is the WiFi didn’t work which caused no TV access 😬

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.

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 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.

It was a quick getaway to bring in the New Year. The spot is soooo cute and modern. The staff was extremely nice and personable. We ain’t didn’t a chance to try out the restaurant but we’ll definitely be back to stay.

Great hotel.. Would be perfect if only there were windows yes no windows that you can view or see out of in your room. Feels like a box but a very beautiful box!

I extended my stay to two more nights that alone speaks for itself. Other than that coming into my hometown with great service was amazing. I really enjoyed myself and this hotel is now my go to place when I visit. Even all the ladies who worked each shift along with the housekeeping lady was kind. Keep up the good work. 😊💛

Excellent small hotel in the heart of downtown Gulfport!
All of the staff that I encountered were very friendly, bed was large and super comfortable, the room and common areas were very clean.
It appears there is a small restaurant/lounge attached but it was not open being a Monday.
Lots of dining/drinking choices literally right around the corner.
I would gladly stay again!!

30 minutes before check in we received a call that they had overbooked and that our reservation was being cancelled. The woman from the hotel that called was so sweet and I feel bad that she had to make that call.

Very cute chic hotel.
We stayed one night after dinner in Gulfport on New Years Eve. Our room was right after you opened the door to the hallway - room 10. Clean, comfortable, spacious, updated. There were a couple drawbacks to this particular room. Every time the heavy door opened and closed to the hallway; we heard it. Also, there is a square cutout in the room - on the other side in the elevator. - heard that all night too. Heard the TV and the snoring in the next room all night. I feel that perhaps it just wasn't soundproofed very well. I would stay here again - just in a different room. Check out is 11 instead of the usual 10- That was nice.
Ther is a bar downstairs that was closed to the public, but I would like to get a reservation next time.
