La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Miramar Beach-Destin

8/10 Good
"The Hotel overall is good, the location is perfect and the pool is great, the breakfast although included is busy, not a lot of variety and no staff to replenish at the pace that is consumed, our room was clean but the common areas are not well maintained, there is visible dirt by the elevators an common areas. After breakfast the lobby stayed dirty for a long time, the receptionist the first nigh we checked in was not very attentive and was on his phone reception for the rest of the time was helpful. we would stay there again price and convenience meets the value, also we really like the Thai place next to it."
