I would not recomend

The room smelled like someone died in it - we asked to be moved but were told by others & the desk clerk they all smelled that way & to turn AC on & it would get better. It did not by the 3rd day we were coughing constantly. Also the chairs at the pool were all broken so no where to sit.

CLOSED SWIMMING POOL.

I don't know whose fault it was… But I specifically selected this hotel to use the swimming pool. When I got there, there was a sign-up saying it was closed for the season. I'm not sure if it's Hotels.com fault or the hotel itself.

The interactions we had with staff was amazing!! Not my first stay in this hotel. We make frequent trips to the area. This is an economical choice that works when we are staying for a few days. Close to all areas of Fort Walton and easy access to both Destin and Navarre.

Disliked: Amenities
Area felt safe and very well lit, also very quiet and no noisy neighbors. The pillow could have been better, hair dryer didn’t work and saw a couple baby roaches in the bathroom. Also they requested a $50 cash deposit.. most people do not carry cash on them. The Expedia website never said it said to be a cash payment.. typically this deposit is placed as a hold on my credit card at every other hotel I’ve been to. Thankfully the gentleman at the front desk was able to accommodate me and not force me to use the ATM and give cash.

Friendly staff and clean rooms

Overall it was clean and the staff was friendly. I'm not a fan of microfiber bath towels but they were clean and serve the purpose. My only issue was the mattress was by far the hardest mattress I have ever slept on in my life. And the sheet to cover the mattress was the wrong size sheet so the mattress wasn't even fully covered. But again it served the purpose so I would give it a three and a half out of five star rating overall.
