Pros:

Hotel was decent and comfortable. Our only complaint was that our room was humid when we arrived and the A/C unit didn't seem to be working well. The front desk staff was super helpful and transferred us to another room quickly but that room had a leaky bathroom sink. Other than that we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the complimentary coffee and breakfast. One thing I will add is that this hotel is about 30 minutes from Destin beach so if you want to be close the ocean book elsewhere.

The AC was not that great. It is veryvhot in Florida and we had it on 66. Never fully cooled the room and we didn't need blankets at all due to how warm it was in the room. Otherwise the stay was great.

Pros:

Staying here was amazing !!! Staff was so polite. Nobody was rude. The food for breakfast was excellent. I would give this hotel a 5 star rating. If you’re looking for a home away from home while spending time with your family. Choose this establishment without hesitation. You will NOT be disappointed. Will be staying here again in the near future.
