Me and my family stayed at this hotel when we came down to Fort Walton for a family wedding. The hotel was easy to find, the lobby was very clean and front desk staff very friendly. The breakfast was good for a hotel made breakfast. If I had to find one issue it was simply the pool hours which were 12p-9p. But we weren’t upset by them. Just wished we had longer, but it was also off season. So all in all I give five stars bc they were friendly, always acknowledging our kids and us when we came back from the beach or from being out.
8.0
Decent hotel. Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Water pressure...eh. Hot water - good TP location - acceptable Bed comfort - good
8.0
The room was great, room, staffing, atmosphere but the breakfast. You will need to go somewhere else for your breakfast. It is horrible. Milk was sour, breads and muffins, stale, cereal old and tough. Sausage did not taste like sausage. Pan sausage limp, rubbery, no taste. Entire food line was bad.
