Chose this hotel because of the price in hopes it would be okay enough for the few days we were there…. But was so PLEASANTLY surprised! Our room was great! Very clean and we loved it! We will absolutely go back to this hotel anytime we are there. LOVED IT! The patio was very small but did NOT bother us at all - two chairs and a small table - enough room and what a great view! The ONLY thing I would say “negative” about our space is that the coffee in the room was horrible but they have a coffee shop on the property. Next time we will just bring our own coffee and a french press so we can wake up and have coffee without going out of the room.
We got in late so picture is dark - wish I’d taken a picture in daytime so all could see how well decorated.  Also: the AC worked so well - great flow of air and consistent temperature! Excellent!
Everything needed to cook - plenty of dishes and pots, pans, utensils.
Beds were amazingly comfortable!!! Linens were so soft and “yummy” feeling.

We were upgraded to a suite which was perfect. First room broken fridge and nowhere to dry clothes. The bar was dreadful as it had a glitter ball in it and the revolving lights gave me motion sickness so couldn't use it. The bar was so small for the size of the hotel. If you have no car you have to rely on ubers as nowhere really walkable.

We got a room with a view of the gulf and a balcony. We loved our stay. Rooms are a little dated and could use a pick-me-up, but we didn't mind. We watched dolphins play in the gulf, enjoyed the sunset, and had drinks and morning coffee from the comfort of our private balcony. It had a fridge and microwave, and the beds were clean and comfortable. Desk service was okay. They could have used some more help because the line checking in was pretty long. They have a little grill right outside which had great drinks and awesome food right on the beach. They also have a little coffee shop downstairs, which was great for breakfast. The view was breathtaking; the location is awesome. We will definitely be coming back.

This was the absolute worst stay we have ever had in Ft Walton Beach. We were told that we had to pay $100 deposit plus parking. No where could you find that on either website. Our first room had blood on the sheets and a large bug that ran out when I pulled the covers back. I called the front desk, and the housekeeper came to the room 30 minutes later. She looks at me and then looks at the big and squishes it in the sheet and wipes it in the floor. We asked to be moved to another room, which we were, and it was better cleanliness wise. Unfortunately, prior to arriving, we added an extra night. They made us check out, pay another $ 100 deposit, and get new cards. Everyone we talked to while down there complained about this property. 10/10 do NOT recommend.
