Up All Night and Uncomfortable

This hotel should be renamed Party Inn of Destin or Party All Night Inn. It was so loud from all floors especially the bar that never closes. Unable to get any sleep until after 3am. The staff was aware of the nuisance and did nothing. We were denied a credit when we checked out early after 2 nights of sleeplessness. The beds were uncomfortable, which added to our discomfort. This was the first time we visited the area; however, we will likely not return and discontinue using hotels.com after 13 years. We contacted them regarding the hotel, and the results were less than satisfactory. We recommended removing this hotel from the website and discontinuing their contract so others won't be duped by the advertised attraction to this hotel. It will only bring disappointment.

Myrick

I searched online for a hotel with a room with waterfront view and a dock for my boat. The hotel stated they had both. When I get to the hotel I'm told I can't park my boat on site and that I couldnt launch my boat at the hotel, and that I would need to go 2miles west to park the trailer for $40 and across the street from the trailer storage place to launch my boat for $30. PER DAY, what hotel advertises a boat dock but no launch or parking for the boat/trailer.....

Don’t bother staying here.

Floors in the room were absolutely filthy. I’d have clean feet out of the shower and turned black within minutes. Trash on the balcony including many dead bugs. TV never worked entire time there.

Not as good.

Television did not work the entire stay. The maintenance staff tried to fix it but they couldn’t. I feel like we should get some compensation for this lack of service. This is our third time staying here and have not experienced this lack of service before this stay.

So I was saying on the beach and decided I wanted to say another night, But didn’t want to pay the expensive rate so I found this place to be pretty cool, The view of the harbor nice and the lobby was cool too!! The only thing I would suggest that they do which it looks like they doing a little at a time is replace all the doors lol

Loved this little hotel. Beautiful views of the harbor. Very clean. There are rundown areas of the hotel, but it is an older place. The staff was amazing! Great places to sit outside or on your patio. Walking distance from numerous restaurants and stores. Breakfast was adequate and they have a nice little store with some snacks, beverages and amenities. There selection of alcohol at the bar is amazing!

Wet weekend

Great location but older hotel. The room was comfortable and clean over all. The sliding glass door would not lock. The bathroom was a handicapped bathroom. The water flooded into the hall every time the shower was used. The toilet consistently run and was not easy to flush. We only stayed one night so we did not complain. The bed was comfortable and very clean.

Less than thrilled

There was confusion at first about rooms and they added $102 to cover move. Woke up middle of 1st night by fights on both sides of us. Police came the next morning and make people leave. No clean washcloths for our entire 4 day stay; maid said she was short. Internet was iffy. Breakfast bar left a lot to be desired; coffee was weak, juice was watered down. We were offered nothing for our inconveniences. Next time, I'll shop around.
