The worst room ever I stayed in my last 7 years around USA. Starting with check in 1. Room pictures for the queen suite showed at Expedia is not matching with the property which I paid extra for the suite. Staff at the desk said they can’t do anything about it. 2. So many crock-roach around the bathroom. 3. No ventilation fan at the bathroom. 4. Showers are leaking and splash around the bathroom. 5. Almost everywhere rust around the door and looks very bad. 6. Hair dryer not working. 7. Most important things is no working laundry where properly at the beach primary location. Stay away from this property and not a worth at this price.

Pictures on website are far from the actual property. Hot tub had been closed since Covid. Pool was so over chlorinated the kids couldn’t even use it. The room was supposed to be a suite was a double double bed with a pull out couch.

The pool and hot tub were closed by the health department and the hotel would not give us any price cut. We only booked this property because they had a pool and hot tub. The closure had been going on for a month and we were not informed.

The receptionist was very friendly, and check-in was quick and easy, which was a great start. However, there were a few issues during our stay. The pool water was quite cold, and unfortunately, the laundry machine was out of service, so we couldn't do any washing. We also had to get our room key reset, which was inconvenient. The biggest downside was the condition of the room — while it looked clean at first glance, we found hidden dirt in places like the corners of the dresser and around the microwave. Unfortunately, we also encountered a few cockroaches during our stay.

The things which I didn't like was I told by a member of the staff that the rooms are only cleaned by house keeping every (4) four days. The carpet in the hallway needed cleaning and there was this unclean smell in the air.

Filthy hotel room, stains and mold in bathroom. The hallways and elevator smelled like weed. It was unbearably hot and musty everywhere. They allowed vagrants to be loitering in the parking lot which was really dangerous as a single woman traveling alone. Terrible the whole way around.

The room air conditioner was leaking water on the floor. The construct of the room provided no place in the bathroom for hanging towels or toiletry bags. The elevator was cleaned with an extremely strong chemical which rendered it virtually uninhabitable for about 2 hours. The breakfast was good, hot, plentiful and on time. A good rating for the food service.

Almost all the receptacles in the room was missing the faceplate exposing the wiring. The hallways smelled and was not welcoming. Ironing board was broken and didn’t latch in an upright position. Payed extra for a suite room with standalone extra room per the Expedia picture, that room was not correctly portrayed so I wasted my extra money on the room I thought I was paying for.

Paid in advance, left 1 day early - didn’t request refund - and still got charged an early departure fee. Rediculous and unfair. Was there for a family emergency and didn’t want to deal with or complain but “stains” on floor were not stains, unpainted wall patches, rusty fixtures, and musty smell. All would have went uncommented on but the early departure fee was the last straw.

We were in Destin for a Cheerleading Competition and stayed at this hotel for the convenience. Breakfast ended at 9 but we mistakenly thought it ended at 10. We arrived exactly at 9 and the door was locked. One of the front desk staff let us in because we initially stated that we just wanted to get cereal for our 5 yr old granddaughter, however, once inside, the breakfast lady offered us the use of the waffle machine but became impatient when we made 3 waffles (there were 3 of us). Needless to say, another front desk employee came in the breakfast room and suggested that the breakfast lady unplug the waffle machine to which she did while we were in the middle of making our last waffle. In my opinion, that was extremely rude and unnecessary. They chose to let us in, therefore, waiting a few more minutes to make a waffle wouldn’t have killed anyone. They could have easily not allowed us in and that would have been perfectly fine, but to allow us in and then pulling to plug while in the middle of making our waffle was wrong. I will return to Destin, Florida because the area is nice but I will be staying at a different hotel. Especially one that doesn’t treat it’s customers like a second class citizen.

This location is very close to a lot of different things and beachfront areas. We had a rough day due to our toilet, not working and handle breaking off and our bathtub would not drain. We had to get our key recorded on multiple occasions because it stopped working on top of our icemaker on our floor didn’t work so we would constantly have to go down to the first floor. They also don’t clean every night. You need to ask for a cleaning services if you’re going to be staying longer than one night and when I asked for more towels, I was spoken back to you and not a polite manner and then mumbling under the breath occurred. I also had to ask for toilet paper since our room was not stocked with toilet paper either

I was disappointed in how check in was handled at this hotel. We had drove over 9 hours and we were running late. I called the Hotel and told the gentleman on duty we were going to be an hour or more late. We ended up getting there after midnight only to find out that our room was listed as a no show after I called them and told them we were on our way. I had to wait on the manager in the lobby for hours for anything to be resolved. They still ended up charging for that night and we didn’t even sleep there until the following day because it was wee hours in the morning. It should had never been a no show.

The property was great for the price and the location was good. The only complaint I have is that we sent our washcloths and towels down and they weee never returned. I called and they hadn’t been washed. The overnight staff was doing the laundry. Maybe the housekeeper had an emergency but they should have informed the guests of the situation. We used pool towels and did not ask again because i didn’t want to overwhelm the night clerk the next day. She was very courteous.

On the negative side, there were wet spots on the floor from a leak. The hotel is in a nice area. But the inside needs alot of work. Rate 2 out 10 poor!

The beds, blankets and pillows were comfortable and warm. It was quiet, we slept well. Room had small refrigerator and a tiny coffee maker. Breakfast with toast, waffle (make your own),cereal, juices, coffee, round sausage Pattie’s and eggs, Jogurt was offered every day albeit orange juice and Jogurt were in short supply. It would be nice to have a little variation at breakfast (bagels, fruits or oatmeal for instance). We could not make tea in the room as the cups are NOT microwave safe. Baseboard stain over a foot in length was there when we arrived. All together it was a nice stay.
