Great place to stay
My friend and I went to Fort Walton beach and Destin for a few days. We loved our stay. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel was close to everything. Plenty of restaurants with live music walking distance. We felt save walking late at night. I would go back.

Bad choice
After checking in, went to the room and maids haven't even cleaned the room. Bed wasn't made. Went to office and they moved me to another room and it was gross. Had a weird odor, coffee table was sticky with hair on it, old food on floor, couch was damp. Gutter hanging down from the top floor in the middle of our balcony . I couldn't stay there so I returned the key and left

The room smelled like smoke. I was too tired to complain. And the bathroom floor may have been clean but was sticky. I liked the plantation shutters The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. And I liked the option of watching Netflix

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We had to pay an additional $20 to check in early when you have already paid hundreds of dollars to begin with. The room was dirty tv didn’t work paint was peeling off the walls and the worst of it all was the sheets and fitted sheet had stains. Went to the front and asked for new sheets just for them to tell me that the ones on the bed are new and when I said the room was dirty they just flat out ignored it. Overall disappointed for the price we paid. Would not recommend and will not be back to that resort again.

$210 a night for a suite, which had an extra couch blocking access into the room, they refused to move it, apparently it was being stored in my room while they remodel? No air conditioning in the game room, bedroom air conditioner was broken, hot tub broken, metal gutter on the exterior was hanging down and swinging towards the window during a storm. Look elsewhere, the website doesn't reflect the actual hotel.

A little slice of heaven.
Nice quiet and clean hotel with a pool and hot tub not to mention a game room where it is free to play pool , air hockey and they have various board games as well. The only thing if you need a fridge or microwave you need to ask for one because it’s not on their website if you book thru hotels or another site . I told them and they got me one with no problem also we stayed in a newly renovated room and the beds were so comfortable and the sheets were new did I mention we had cable , hot water and pillows that as soon as your head hit them you were asleep . Will stay here again .

Great Little Place w Big Character
I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years. The property is under new management with lots of new improvements. Staff is always welcoming and professional. Rooms are inviting and the entire property has that "old Florida" feel to it which is hard to find in a world of high rises and hotel chains.

Our stay was amazing as usual we've never had a bad stay here. There was some construction/renovation being done in the building but not unusual for this area. Dolphins showed up out in the bay Thursday and played for awhile probably not even 3 feet from the marina dock. As long as rates stay in our price range this will always be one of our top 2 choices. We've stayed multiple times already and have never been disappointed
