I would rate this hotel 3.5 stars. There are some good things about this hotel- great location, our room was a decent size for a 1 bedroom, the breakfast was fresh (but simple), close to Publix and food, generally good service, clean rooms, plenty of parking, filtered water station, and pack n play available. There are some things that could be better- one of the desk staff seemed overwhelmed and not pleasant, the hot tub was dirty, hotel was showing some wear and tear, and the rooms were not cleaned every day (floors would get sandy and needed more towels).

When we arrived the bedding had not been changed so we had to call them to get that changed. Food options were minimal,

The hotel itself was fine but they advertised free breakfast. The breakfast consisted of store bought muffins and bagels, yogurt and stale cereal. Also, the internet went out and wasn't restored until almost 12 hours later, which meant no TV for the kids most of the time we were in our room.

I would definitely stay again. We were there a week and housekeeping came by once while there. We took our own trash out daily. Which is ok. The breakfast was ok if you like cereal and muffins. I'm not a breakfast eater so that was ok for me. The staff was nice and welcoming. The room and other areas were clean. This was my hubby and I first time to Destin and we enjoyed. The hotel location is perfect.

I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again. Very friendly staff members, especially the lady who checked us in. Clean, large and comfortable rooms. Excellent location for visiting Destin. My only negative was the delay in housekeeping, mainly when asked for a bed change early in the morning and it wasn’t done, so was given linen to do it ourselves.

I notice mold and mildew. During my 2 night stay, the hallway stayed dirty with trash and trash bags sat in corners far too long for guests to be staying there. No ice bucket nor plastic cups to get ice. Breakfast included boil eggs, instant oatmeal, cereal, yogurt machine, bagels, muffins and coffee, no hot food. The young lady at the front desk at check in was very nice, welcoming and informative.

I gave cleanliness a 3 due to the urine smell in the room. After I wiped the floor and counter tops with Lysol wipes - the smell went away. My guess is that when they mop the rooms, they use the same water used in each room?

Was not informed of $50 damage deposit when booking. A guest had a small dog and was barking at 3 AM. The hallway looked like it had not been vacuumed in a week. The breakfast choice was cereal or bagels. Low 3 star only because the room was clean.

The toilet clogged and barely flashed. The Maintenance guy fixed it and left without saying anything. He seems like he hates his job! It is not worth it for the prize we pay. The ice machines in our floor is broken. No complimentary coffee or bottle of water in the room. Our hair conditioner was out. A lot of little things that could be prevented. Suggestions for breakfast, scrambled eggs is better than the cold boiled eggs. We are quite disappointed. We are definitely not coming back. The worst Hilton Hotel we’ve ever stayed.

NEVER AGAIN!!!! I stayed 6 - 9th. They didn’t come clean the room. On 2nd day I kept asking for towels and they kept saying they didn’t have any clean. I asked housekeeping for towels and she asked without checking out or checking in. I told her neither and she said the towels on the cart was for a guest that was checking in. I started asking for towels at 9 AM and they were not able to give me any towels until 6:30 PM. Very disappointing, especially since I paid my money, but since I wasn’t a new check in, I couldn’t get cleaned house.

We did. The hotel room itself was phenomenal! Very clean and cozy and a family with small kids. My kids loved sleeping on the sofa couch.
