Top James Lee Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly , this was the best hotel experience I have ever had!! The staff was friendly, the breakfast was great and we were able to have our dogs there. The only person who was rude was a lady named Shan. She had major attitude and they also didn’t clean the room the three days we were there and never refilled the towels but overall 8/10. I would stay there again if I were to visit Destin."

Holiday Inn Express Destin E - Commons Mall area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very convenient to beach access, Resraurants, and entertainment. Room very clean with comfortable beds. Buffet breakfast and parking on site included. Breakfast attendant needed to be more attentive to keeping everything stocked and wiped down. Had to ask for replenishment couple times. Also needs garbage receptacles in breakfast area."
