What guests think

At TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Walton Beach-Eglin AFB, travellers praise the scenic bay views, balcony rooms, and generally friendly staff, while feedback is mixed on cleanliness and upkeep, with several reports of pests, odors, and maintenance problems affecting comfort.

Rooms are spacious with kitchenettes and water views, but recurring issues include malfunctioning HVAC, intermittent hot water, stiff or broken balcony doors, spotty Wi‑Fi, and occasional noise near elevators. The bayfront setting is convenient for Eglin AFB and quieter than the beach strip, though it is not beachfront and beaches require a drive or ride. Facilities include a pool and bayside patio, with mentions of grills, pet‑friendly policies, laundry, and easy parking; one review reported an elevator outage and another mentioned a crowded pool. Breakfast sentiment is mixed, with some enjoying variety while others found items understocked or uneven; overall expect scenic views with convenient amenities but variable consistency.

We arrived to visit family for Christmas. We were told we would have to turn the heater on in the room upon arrival. It was 28 degrees outside this day. We entered the room and immediately turned the heater on, unpacked a weeks worth of clothes and left because it was still too cold in the room. We came back an hour later and the room was still just as cold. I went to the lobby and told the receptionist that our heat didn’t work, she said she wasn’t surprised and that no one had stayed in that room for a while. She then gave me keys to the room next door. After packing all of our belongings we moved into that room. The hotel was not even at half occupancy. They gave us a room with a parking lot view. The other side of the hall where No one was staying has a view of the Choctawhattchee bay. Shortly there after the elevators stopped working. We were on the third floor and forced to use the stairs for the entire 5 days of our visit. They didn’t make it right and even had the audacity to offer us a small space heater for the first room. People don’t book hotels for vacations to use small space heaters. 0 stars

From the pictures you might think it’s beach front. However it isn’t and the nearest beach is an expensive uber ride away. The hotel has a nice breakfast and the pool stays open pretty late. Also the grills and fire pits are a nice touch.

Overall, this is a nice property on the Gulf with a beautiful view. The staff was friendly, the pool was good, and I loved the outdoor patio and the convenience of having laundry facilities. The room was nice, with a Gulf view and a balcony, and the full kitchen was very convenient. Everything would have been perfect for a five-star rating if the breakfast had been better. It was minimal, greasy, and not sufficient to feed everyone until the cutoff time. I wish they would focus more on improving this area.

The pool and outside patio was amazing. However, the air conditioner in one of our separate rooms stopped working the second day. Also while down at the pool my oldest daughter was in the room and received a call stating the silent smoke alarm went off and asked if she was cooking. She responded with no and immediately called me. The breakfast was good except to much powered sugar on the waffles that made them almost impossible to eat. The staff was great with greeting as we entered or exited the building.

This is the second time we stayed at this property and this time it was incredibly run down. The bottoms of our feet were actually black after walking barefoot in our room. The bathroom door was black by the handle. I rarely leave reviews but this one is worth noting. Marriot needs to sink some money into this property.

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Walton Beach-Eglin AFB. During my stay, I encountered several issues that left me extremely unhappy Firstly, the room I was provided with had an unpleasant odor, making my stay uncomfortable from the beginning. The furniture in the room was not clean, and it was clear that proper cleaning had not been done prior to my arrival. To make matters worse, there was a chair in the room that emitted a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of a wet dog. This not only made the room less inviting but also raised concerns about the overall cleanliness of the establishment. Additionally, I noticed damaged furniture in my room, which gave the impression that maintenance and upkeep were lacking. It's disheartening to see such a lack of attention to detail and cleanliness in a Marriott property. I was also disappointed that Expedia would recommend this hotel, as I expected better from a trusted travel platform. Overall, my experience at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Walton Beach-Eglin AFB was far from satisfactory, and I would caution others against staying there in the future. I have pictures to prove it. The hotel said they could not refund me because I booked with expedia

We took a road trip and stayed in several hotels. Usually I do not leave reviews if it was negative, but when I’m very pleased I will go out of my way to give positive feedback. I have to say this hotel was the absolute best! As soon as we walked in we knew it was nice and clean and then the front desk lady was very nice. We had a 1 bedroom suite facing the water and the hotel and room smelled wonderful. We slept so good that night in the comfy bed and woke up to a very nice breakfast bar with super nice staff tending it. There was scrambled eggs, sausage Pattie’s, variety of breads, oatmeal bar with many toppings, coffee bar with flavored creamers, machine with a variety of juices and water, and the beat pre-made waffles! We will definitely be staying here again. There was a full kitchen that you could make a simple meal with a full size fridge, a separate little living room with a desk, a big bathroom with delightful body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Very nice and I highly recommend.

Upon arrival on March 20, 2025, and settling into our room, we discovered a malfunctioning air conditioning unit resulting in water damage to the floor. We immediately notified the front desk, and were informed that maintenance would address the issue the following morning. The next morning, while our children were at breakfast, we overheard staff discussing the room's condition, though no one directly addressed the problem with us. Repair personnel arrived as we were preparing to leave for errands, and proceeded to remove the entire unit. This delayed our schedule. Upon our return, the repair was incomplete, and the air conditioning system was only blowing hot air, rendering our second night's stay extremely uncomfortable.

The property and staff are AMAZING!!!! The staff helped us in a time of need. The reservation we had at another establishment was canceled - we were evacuating due to the hurricane and the gentlemen on duty that night WAS SO AMAZING!!! If not for him, we wouldn't have had a place to stay. The next day the ladies that were on duty went above and beyond as well. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Unable to swim in pool due to 5 kids running and jumping in, taking up over half the pool. No adult supervision and manager refused to enforce adult supervision or get out of pool area. I was hit in the back by one of the boys jumping in and a little girl was also hit. I have rods and screws in my back and i was in pain all night. Will never stay here again.

I booked this hotel for adventure to crab island. Checkout time was at 12 noon and check in was at 4pm. I was hoping to checkin by 1:15pm. We had kids which crab island is inappropriate. We arrived at the hotel 11:15am hoping to get check by 1:15pm. Which would have been courtesy. Front desk staff knew we had a 1:40pm boat paid for as well. We was the only family waiting at this time. 4pm still no room ready. Lost $400 for boat rental and $400 for room wasted time and money. Traveled 8 hours back home upset.Young lady at the desk was careless about others. Requested refund. Beautiful hotel heartless staff.
