Loved our stay!

Had an amazing time! We loved all of the amenities and easy access to the beach. The garden grill makes the best chicken! And the staff was very friendly. Nick helped us check in and was very enthusiastic and genuinely friendly. Whenever he saw us during our stay he went out of our way to ask us how everything was. What a nice first impression of Destin! We are excited to return with more family members next time!

So upon arriving to the hotel, i was greeted by pure professional and friendly staff members. The lobby was clean, spacious and gorgeous views of the pool. The room was clean and very spacious. I had the king bed with a bunk bed and nice size balcony facing the ocean. I had no problems checking in, staying and checking out.

Excellent stay! We were able to check in an hour early. Had a gulf front balcony room. Everything was beautiful. Staff was friendly and very helpful when needed. The only downfall was the wedding at the hotel next door. Their music shook our room as we were on the end. But, it was Saturday night and it ended at 10:30. Staff from the Hilton came to check to ensure the noise was in fact from the hotel next door and not an upstairs neighbor. Would definitely return.

Nice price for economy stay

A quick spring break trip for the family, the room was spacious and the view was nice. beds were comfortable. However the room needed some TLC. The carpet was torn, only half the lights worked, the tile surround around bottom of shower had some sort of adhesive where it appeared to have repaired tile yet didn’t clean up the work. Now it’s dried and stained. I had to call for a bath mat as there was not one for in front of the shower. The breakfast buffet that you paid for was nothing more than a basic hotel breakfast. Cereal, powdered eggs, microwave sausage, toast and fruit. There was a lazy river yet only one tube…. So much potential of being a nice place to stay but needs better attention paid to detail to make guest stay feel more comfortable. We could’ve stayed at the Days inn for the same accommodations for half the price.
