The breakfast option is extremely basic; bagels, mini sausage packs and breakfast juices. The front desk attendant was nice and the property team; maintenance and housekeeping were also great. I appreciated the on-sight parking and the beach access. The pool was small but manageable. We came for the beach and certainly enjoyed that aspect of our trip.

This property definitely didn’t match up to its photos. We actually can’t attest to the staffing because I didn’t stay there. I pulled up, drove around and decided to just “lose what we paid for the room” since it was too late to cancel. Just didn’t feel safe staying there.

I have stayed at Desoto Beach hotel several times & each time they have had plumbing/ drainage issues. This time I notice a sewer smell in the room & there was sewer waste ( what appeared to be Feces) bubbling up in the sink. Room service only came 1 time during our 4 day stay. Parking is very limited & the hotel desperately needs an update.

Location is everything with this stay

There is not of extras that you see at most hotels (Free breakfast, restaurant, no elevators, did not see any vendor machine). The best part of the stay is the location. You are across from the beach. Good restaurants and stores in walking distance of the hotel. The people was nice, you have to request cleaning service or they will not clean your room. Overall it was a good stay. The hotel was very clean.
