I was charged 6 nights for a 5 night visit due to a mistaken booking through Expedia, which has shaded my experience a little. I'll acknowledge I may have made the mistake but the dates of our flight and hotel didn't line up. The front desk was kind enough to correct the issue on check-in (a day late) and said we wouldn't be charged the extra night, but to call if we were and it would be corrected. We were charged afterall, but the GM said the charge was valid and asked for the name of the helpful clerk. Sounded like a trap, so I let that bus go by. It may be policy. However, I was asked to provide a survey which I normally ignore, but a few experiences come to mind. The bed spread had dirt clumps or some brown debris scattered on the top. We considered gettting another room but it was late and a look at the sheets checked out ok, so we brushed the stuff off the bedspread. The first trip to the bathroom was a surprise when the toilet wouldn't flush, especially when it was a little late to not use it. A closer inspection revealed the tank was empty and the valve was closed. The water hammer opening the valve probably woke the neighbors but we filled the bowl and it didn't stop running, so closed it again. I talked to the front desk who promised to have maintenance look at it in the morning - possibly a leaky toilet valve. Otherwise, my only gripe was that we only had sausage for breakfast meat (no bacon), but I was good with the waffle makers for my breakfast.

I was in town to visit family. The location was perfects for all my needs, with close proximity to Eglin Air Force base. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I felt well informed of the amenities that the property had to offer. Each contact with a staff member was pleasant and I found them to be helpful with any questions I had during my stay. Housekeeping did a great job. I would recommend this property to others.

Hotel was decent and comfortable. Our only complaint was that our room was humid when we arrived and the A/C unit didn't seem to be working well. The front desk staff was super helpful and transferred us to another room quickly but that room had a leaky bathroom sink. Other than that we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the complimentary coffee and breakfast. One thing I will add is that this hotel is about 30 minutes from Destin beach so if you want to be close the ocean book elsewhere.
