The room was clean, bed was very comfortable, cold air, friendly staff and well lit property. Parking lot and some of the outside area had cigarette butt litter, but that was the only con I found.This was our second stay at this property and we will definitely stay again.

The interactions we had with staff was amazing!! Not my first stay in this hotel. We make frequent trips to the area. This is an economical choice that works when we are staying for a few days. Close to all areas of Fort Walton and easy access to both Destin and Navarre.

Would stay again
This place is older but it’s well kept and quiet. If you’re looking for somewhere close to the water but don’t want to pay Destin prices, try here. They also have a working elevator which was nice. Air was very cold too.

The room interior seems like it was a work in progress. Two different tones of paint, and looks like they just finished a sheetrock tape job an hour before i checked in. The bathtub did not drain well so a shower would almost bring the water to the top of tub height. Quiet when i stayed very quiet property.

Room was clean. Pool was clean. Check in was fairly quick and painless. Tv has cable and it’s a smart tv so plenty of entertainment if you’re not at the beach.

We liked the location, the pool was good, and the price. The shower water flows really well. There was a fridge and microwave. However, the beds were the worst I have ever slept in. The bathroom door doesn't lock. The ice makers don't all work, and the outside is a bit dirty.

Over-all
Not bad for a place to just crash but the ac had no drain so the room always felt damp and the floors stood wet. The room service came 1 time in my 5 days 4 nights there. The rooms are plain no pictures nothing. The ice machine didn't work.but over-all if its just a place to sleep it was clean no bugs and it was quiet

Friendly staff and clean rooms
Overall it was clean and the staff was friendly. I'm not a fan of microfiber bath towels but they were clean and serve the purpose. My only issue was the mattress was by far the hardest mattress I have ever slept on in my life. And the sheet to cover the mattress was the wrong size sheet so the mattress wasn't even fully covered. But again it served the purpose so I would give it a three and a half out of five star rating overall.

Honestly the room itself wasn't bad. It was clean, the bed was comfortable enough. The room itself smelled like an old fishtank overrun with algea, or musty pond water. We were woken up around 7am to the room next doors door being beat on by the police,and then as we were leaving after checking out there was more police presence going to another room. There were some questionable people loitering around the property as we were checking in as well. The vibe wasn't too family friendly, and I won't be back but it also wasn't the worst room.

The room was very clean. Others had posted about roaches and i saw no sign of that at all. The bed was hard as a rock. The towels are microfiber. And the sheets were not big enough for the bed. You check in at a kiosk with someone on a screen. No human communication which is probably more efficient but sad. As you can tell by the picture the room needed much updating.
