Top Downtown Fort Walton Beach Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Very Clean early checkin&gave us directions to beach&Awesome free breakfast"

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

6/10 Okay

"Our ocean view room had a nice view. The only cons were this: a very noisy a/c unit which kept us up at night; a sticky floor which was kind of gross; just 3 pillows on a king bed instead of 4. Minor issues, and it’s possible the sticky floor is a result of the flooring used and the humidity, since we heard from other guests we met that they experienced the same thing. The only other things we didn’t like: no beach towels and very expensive beach umbrella/beach chair rentals, which were really old and crappy. Had we known this, we would have brought our own."

Hilton Garden Inn Destin Miramar Beach

6/10 Okay

"In general the hotel was clean and nice but for the price I paid, over $800 for two nights they had the audacity to charge me $5 a day to park and at that cost I would at least expect a complimentary breakfast and coffee which there is none. They will nickel and dime you for everything on top of the outrageous price per night for the room."

Days Inn by Wyndham Destin

2/10 Terrible

"First, it is rude to speak another language with your coworkers when serving customers (I believe it was an Indian dialect). I speak Spanish and prefer to talk in private. The room was covered in mold, including the walls, ceiling, fridge, bathroom, and lamps. Also, the ceiling has water damage, which is causing the paint to peel. The bed sheets were worn out and needed to be replaced; the microwave wasn't working; and the fridge had a bad smell and wasn't cooling properly."

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are always friendly here- the morning gentleman even let me in early and brought out bagels from the back because my fiancé and I had to hit the road for the airport before breakfast was open- SO kind! Always clean. My fiancé has major allergies and he did just fine, the hardwood floors help with that. I’ve stayed here twice, and this is officially my Destin hotel- I’ll stay here every time I visit."
