Navyat34,
I am so sorry I missed your post. I did not get a notification that anyone had posted a comment. JayDee gave you spot on information though. Thank you JayDee - coming through once again!!!! Unfortunately Navyat34 I wouldn't have any information about places to stay there!! I have been there more than a dozen times but I've always stayed in RV parks, or our daughter's apartment/home!!!! I'm spoiled!! She lives really close to the West Gate now. I hope you had a good time visiting. How long will your daughter be staying there???

Navyat34 welcome! Pensacola is a great town. Very touristy so there's no shortage of hotels but they can be pricey. There is a Navy Lodge there so I'd try that first. Perdido Key is close to there and while it's a tourist location, it's more laid back.
Enjoy your time with your girl!

Here is the article on Jennifer.
Women in Aviation Gulf Coast Chapter
Member highlight of the week, Jennifer! #waigulfocast #womeninaviation
Jennifer grew up in Augusta, GA flying with her Dad in a Cessna 172 since she was 8 years old. She moved to Cleveland, OH and got her private pilot’s license through Kent State University and graduated with a Chemistry degree from the University of Akron. In 2010, she joined the Navy and was commissioned as an officer in 2012. Her first duty station was NAS Pensacola, where she trained on the T-6B as a Naval Flight Officer. She selected the E-6 Mercury in 2014 and transferred to Tinker AFB, OK. Jennifer received her Wings of Gold in 2016. While at VQ-3 in Oklahoma, she became an Aviation Safety Officer and found her passion for aviation safety. In 2019 she transferred back to NAS Pensacola to teach Crew Resource Management at the Naval School of Aviation Safety. In 2021, she was selected for lateral transfer to the Navy’s Aerospace Experimental Psychology program and will receive her second Wings of Gold in 2022. She has her eyes set on a PhD in Aviation with a human factors specialization and is hoping to stay in Pensacola, FL for her next tour. In her free time, Jennifer enjoys playing with her dogs, exploring the outdoors, and RV-ing!
