Destin Hotels

Nice enough hotel, a little pricey considering the simplicity and size of the room, but right on the beach. My friend and I spent one night in a nonsmoking room in June during a road trip through Florida. Check in took much longer than it should have, considering I’d booked it several weeks earlier and prepaid. After we sorted out that it was a beachfront room and breakfast was supposed to be included, everything was fine. A check out confirmation was supposed to have been sent to my email, but it wasn’t received. So imagine my shock when I checked my bank account and saw a charge for $212! I called the hotel and was told it was for smoking in the room, obviously a mistake as neither of us ever smoke, let alone in a nonsmoking hotel room that has a warning sign posted of a fine for doing so! I was told that I’d have to take the dispute to the front desk manager. A week went by with no call, I called back and left a message, Jazzmine finally called me and said it could have been a mista...

I started staying here in 2009. I have probably stayed 9-10 times. I would agree with beachbum63's (If 63 is your year of birth we are kindred spirits) review. I would add that the parking lot rooms don't have tubs and when one showers there will be water on the bathroom floor. The beds are decent. The decor has been updated over the past couple of years. It is not elegant but I don't stay here because of the rooms (which are clean). I turn on the weather channel if I turn on the TV at all. I do prefer to have at least a courtyard room to have the balcony (patio on the first floor). The tower on the beach is great but for the price I would only spend for a special occasion. I took a friend down for her 50th birthday and booked a regular room in the tower for her and a corner room for me. The corner room was on the west side of the building so we had a great view of the sunset. Sadly for my friend smoking was not allowed on the balcony. Good for the rest of us. The front desk staff, t...

It needs a little bit of renovation on the kitchen...No shampoo on the rooms so bring your own...Cleaning is not everyday. Staff really nice ...Close to the outlet and mall... Pool it was ok. Continental breakfast help...a lot... Less 2 miles from the beach...Try the Crab Trap Restaurant on the beach...

It was alright. Pros: kitchenette, clean, free continental breakfast(bagels, cereal, pastries, coffee and juice). Cons: no complementary toiletries, old tv, a/c not cold enough. I didn't bring shampoo and conditioner because this was just a weekend trip, and all the hotels I've ever stayed always had them. Was a bummer.

It was close to everything we needed.

Room was above laundry and woke up to what felt like an earthquake. The floors were so filthy they turned bottoms of feet black, had to wear flops inside. Some of our towels looked dirty.

It is on the beach

Small pool ,very noisy

We stayed on the 2nd flr and the noise from other guest loading and unloading late into the night was like they were in the room with us , the swimming pool was very small for the size of the hotel ,i think if we had been on a higher floor away from the noise it would have been a lot better stay, the staff, location and room was very nice.

The staff was very friendly. We got a good rate. Location was great.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was located very close to the Gulfarium and other family attractions. Had no trouble checking in or out.

There is only one elevator and it is usually in use so we mostly used the stairs.

I couldn't find anything that I liked

Rooms not clean. Had to ask repeatedly for clean towels. Poor parking. Very understaffed. Over priced for the quality of the room

Close by everything. Nice staff.

Wasn't the single bed I that booked but it was OK.

The housekeeping was friendly

The breakfast was sub par

The attendant for the hot breakfast was always pleasant and attentive! All of the staff including housekeeping and the front desk were cheerful and very nice.

I am a Hampton Inn fan to begin with and this Fort Walton Beach location was great. The hotel is located right on the beach just steps away. A free hot breakfast, the beach and the usual Hampton standards.....what more do you need?

Rooms were not very sound proof. Could easily hear activities in other rooms.

The location of the hotel was great.

For the rate of the rooms, a continental breakfast should have been included.

Free Buffet...close to beach

Price for hotel was above what we expected

Not one thing

A little off the hectic pace of hwy. 98 close to beach- great little shops

Free breakfast, close to Eglin AFB

It rained too much

Booked a villa for a short weekend with small children. Very much liked the location and proximity to beach. Only drawback was the layout for bedroom and bathroom. Would have liked more privacy for both. But otherwise sufficient for my needs
