"i really enjoyed staying here, and for a great price- we were within walking distance of the beach! Well worth it for a young couple trying to save money and have a good time in Destin. Also- this was a very quiet hotel with not that much traffic of people so that was a bonus too :-) Also also- the free breakfast is always a plus! <3 Thank you for the wonderful stay!"

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was in great shape and the staff was very friendly, but there were e unsupervised young men that ran all the hotel unattended. When I spoke to the front desk I was told they stay there all the time and they were always running around everywhere by themselves. The pool, the breakfast area, rummaging through the food, touching all the food, and then leaving a mess. They swam unattended, road the bikes unsupervised, and just generally took over any area where they were. They were loud and very disrespectful, but since they stay there alot the staff felt that their behavior was tolerable. We did not."
