All staff I encountered were very friendly, accommodating, and efficient. They have a small grocery area that can be charged to your room, very awesome selection. The room was SO CLEAN. The TV was equipped with streaming capabilities, as well as regular TV. I was extremely excited to see that they provide a bath mat for the shower, cleaned and rolled up in the corner of the shower. It’s unheard of anywhere else. I would absolutely stay here again!

Fort Walton Beach is not asv nice and touristy as Destin or Miramar Beach or Panama City Beach, but you can't go wrong with Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott. They're usually very clean, well-maintained and well-managed. The pool was clean and the room was very clean and up-to-date. We had no complaints.

This may have been the first time ever that I stayed at a hotel and absolutely zero complaints. The free breakfast was insane, the room and the lobby were kept cold, everything was modern, free use of computers, 2 elevators, extremely comfortable beds and the staff was always interactive and friendly. Will definitely be back.

It was very basic and served the purpose for our stay. Older style hotel, but it was clean. The only thing I didn’t like was that we weren’t given any fresh towels for our 2nd night; we had to ask and wait.

Unfortunately, i didnt have a pleasant stay. The hotel itself didnt smell clean. The carpet needs to be pulled because its dirty and smells bad. The rooms were not thoroughly cleaned. There was crud on walls and door to room. My room had little black bugs crawling everywhere, the sheets and pillow cases were dingy and worn. The fee i paid for the 2 nights i was there was not worth it. I have stayed in much cleaner, rennovated and friendlier staff for less. The lady on Saturday morning breakfast server was very rude and unfriendly. She did not like her job because she showed it. The manager on duty Saturday did change my room because of the bug infested situation but the room was still not as clean as it should have been. Needless to say, this was my first and last time staying at this hotel.

Overall, the trip was amazing! The front desk staff was excellent—such a kind and welcoming group of people. The only downside was that the air conditioning wouldn’t go below 69 degrees, which made the room uncomfortably warm at night and affected our sleep due to it not saying on at night but during the day. I recommend this hotel.

The breakfast was outstanding, with pancakes, 2 kinds of omelets, pork and turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits,gravy, jelly, honey, 4 types of fruit juice, coffee, and dry cereal as well as yogurt. We never had to wait for an elevator or a luggage rack.
