My family & I went to the Florida panhandle a day earlier than when we had a condo reserved. We visited friends and the beaches all day, and originally planned to stay at a hotel in Navarre, Florida, as our condo reservations were there the following day. We were too tired to drive that extra 20 minutes, so we decided to stay in Ft Walton. The hotel directly beside the Days Inn was $139/night. We managed to get a room here for $69/night. We just needed a room to bathe & sleep with our two daughters. The room was small but still included a mini fridge and microwave which we used. The pool area was nice. Our free breakfast was better than expected (hot waffles available, not just cereal!) Our main goal was a clean room & a comfy bed - and both were just great. Impressed with our savings - especially in the middle of such a tourist area such as Ft Walton/Destin/Navarre/Pensacola area! « less

Stayed here late Feb. to early March (couple of weeks) due to family business in area. After staying at another motel for 2 days which wasn't good at all, I relocated to here. The service was great, the rooms were nice and clean and the cleaning staff was terrific. Because of my situation, I wasn't sure of my length of stay from day today, but the manager(s) were very understanding and accommodated me accordingly.The breakfast bar was very good. Nice TV in the room and WiFi was good. This may have not been as fancy as some of the others over by the beach but just as good as some of the others that are a little higher in price. The only downside for me was the location of the washer and dryer and the fact that they were outside. The dryer wouldn't dry properly and after I asked one of the cleaning girls about it she then tried to clean all the plugged up lint out of it. because of this my clothes didn't get done and I had to leave, but she then said she would watch them. Well when I came back the were in my room and folded. They dryer wouldn't work so she used their big ones. I thought this was very nice of them. I should also note that the washer and dryer aren't owned by the motel but put there by another service organization. I guess this may be something for the motel to look into. « less

I came to Fort Walton Beach because my family lives here, and my mother was very sick. When I checked in, I told the gentleman behind the front desk that I need a quiet room, and that I simply want a bed and some hot water because I'll be spending most of the week at the hospital caring for my Mom. He was very sympathetic, and the hotel had not filled up so he quickly got me in a back corner room that was quiet all week. Then I found out I needed to stay an extra night- Good Friday, and Spring Break week too. The lady at the front desk was very kind, helpful, and I received the same rate I'd been paying all week, even though it was a spur of the moment request, and they were obviously very busy. The room had been newly rennovated, the beds are new and really good, and the hot water and water pressure are good. Centrally located to beaches, businesses and the hospital. I'll be back for vacation now that my Mom is healing well, and I'm telling all my friends too. The people here were very kind to me while I was in a very stressful medical situation- I'll always remember that, and the room was confortable and good too. « less

I picked this hotel because it was our last night at the Florida state and it was just to sleep in. The girl at the front desk was not friendly at all. I asked to see the room first and she told me it was getting clean up. So, we waited but then I decided to get the room with out checking i,t thrusting that because it was getting clean up it will be okay. I did asked her if it was a Non smoking room because that's was I was looking for and she said yes. When we got to the room it smells horrible and I called her back and asked her again. Is this a non smoking room? And she said yes. I got my husband and kind with me they just wanted to rest as soon as possible so we stay but I was very diss appointed. Got a smoking room instead of a Non smoking room, the girl at the front desk was not friendly or polite at all, someone call our room at the middle of the night, then couple hours later a lady was knocking at the door hard enough to wake up the entire hotel I thought she was going to break the door, people in the 2nd floor were making to much noise and then people coming back from the bars I guess talking and making loud noise not having respect for others. The room was not clean and it smell like crap be a non smoking room. And when we check out the guy didn't even ask if we have a good service or nothing. I tried to tell him and he gave a business card to e-mail them. I should it go next door even if I have to pay more. But you get what you paid for. I had been at anothers Day Inn and the rooms and Service had been 10 times better that this one. Next times I'll will pay for something where I can be comfortable and happy with even if it's only one night. « less

We picked this hotel from hotels.com, for a quick trip into Fort Walton Beach. Upon checking in the front desk clerk was not very friendly or helpful. I ask if they had coffee in the lobby and she pointed to an area around the corner. When there was none and I was told I guess you will have to just have it in your room. The room was just o.k. needed updating. The only good thing in there was a nice flat screen tv. The bathroom tub and sinks were old. The breakfast in the morning was o.k. The only hot thing was the waffels. You had a choice of waffels or muffins. The check out process was the same person and was not any more friendly. The other thing at check-in I was ask for my cr. card for misc. charges which was o.k. but here is the twist I was ask to sign a $25.00 charge ticket in advance. They said they would credit our account if that was not used. So far nothing has showed up on our cr. card statement. Never have had that happen before. The room was paid to hotels.com including taxes and fees. So today I have a $2.00 fee on my cr. card statement from the hotel. I called and they said that was a resort charge. I informed them that I paid taxes and fees to hotels.com and they should get it from them. They told me they would credit our account for $2.00. So far not showed up there. Just be aware of what you may be getting into. « less
