We stayed at this hotel in the past and the service was excellent. The breakfast variety and healthy options was excellent. The stay was very comfortable also! The hotel was clean and we'll kept also! This why we came back to this location.
I was in town to visit family. The location was perfects for all my needs, with close proximity to Eglin Air Force base. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I felt well informed of the amenities that the property had to offer. Each contact with a staff member was pleasant and I found them to be helpful with any questions I had during my stay. Housekeeping did a great job. I would recommend this property to others.
The staff were very polite and efficient. The locations was great for us, quiet area that was close enough to the beach, shopping, dining without being in a crowd.
We need somewhere to stay from being stuck in Florida for an unexpected car repair and the staff was understanding nice and very helpful. It was clean and comfortable all we as.
Not far from Walton beaches. Near Walmart and restaurants. Side walks around property. Small rooms but very clean hotel.Pool on small side.

Hotel was decent and comfortable. Our only complaint was that our room was humid when we arrived and the A/C unit didn't seem to be working well. The front desk staff was super helpful and transferred us to another room quickly but that room had a leaky bathroom sink. Other than that we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the complimentary coffee and breakfast. One thing I will add is that this hotel is about 30 minutes from Destin beach so if you want to be close the ocean book elsewhere.
