The staff was good and responsive. Well priced for the area.

I was very pleased to see that they had exercise equipment beyond the ordinary treadmills, but the weight machine was not at all easy to figure out how to adjust for different size persons and exercises. The room was fine, bed comfortable, but there were some bad stains on the carpet that made it seem second rate. The staff took my comment very seriously and were helpful.

A rainy day in Destin

The hotel was nice, when we arrived we were issued a key to our room when I entered the room I thought "How nice, they have snack here for us". Then I looked around and realized there were peoples suitcases and the bathroom had been used with dirty towels on the floor. I went back to the front desk and was told there was a mix-up and they would figure it out. Ww went to dinner while they fixed it. But the thought of them giving out a key to an occupied room was scary. The breakfast was good for the price. The beds comfy, ona scale of 1-10 the cleanliness was about 9. Lots of children running around all hours of the day and night, we had to complain 2x about this. The hotel was worth the the price we paid, but definetly not worth the $175 regular rate.

Reign of confusion

Access from highway is difficult and quite confusing. Tried to check in at 3PM. Rooms not ready. Total confusion between housekeeping and desk personnel. Finally got a room about 20 min later, it was okay. After putting our stuff in the room, no shampoo, nor regular coffee for the in-room coffee maker. Desk said they were "out" of both. Shortly, they delivered shampoo (from competition). No regular coffee though. Day 2, we went out for the day. Returned and room was made up. However, glasses we had used were still half full...housekeeping never touched them. Not a bad stay, but we would not return to this place again

If you want good food at a fair price, and can stand family atmosphere, try Callahan's. Nothing fancy, but good. That's why the locals go there!

A Very Good Experience

This was our Valentine's getaway, and was very enjoyable. The whole stay was smooth and problem-free. The check in staff was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel was very quiet. We found out later that the first and second floors were being remodeled at the time, but we never heard a peep of construction. The only knock I would even mention is that the TV picture was pretty low quality, but I've probably gotten spoiled by my LCD at home. However, one of the staff told us that new TV's and new beds were part of the remodeling, so even that won't be a problem next time. I would definitely stay here again.

It's not on the beach, but there is plenty of public beach access and parking a short distance away.

windgate by wyndham - destin fl

Rooms were not as clean and tidy as on previous visits there. Rooms also needed maintenance (dirty stained carpets, marks/scuffs on walls. Room very outdated and not 'staged' well. 2 big chairs shoved in one corner, blocking walking area. Only one lamp on 1 side of bed which was wobbly. Requested another lamp but was immediately told there was none available. (Hmmm...there were maybe only 15 rooms occupied during our stay.) Noisy people on 2nd & 3rd night there. Breakfast was good and fresh. Have had better stays in our previous visits there and at other 'Windgate's' on the east coast.
