Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews cite serious cleanliness problems (bugs in sheets, room smelled, ceiling leak) despite other guests noting recently renovated and clean rooms; overall cleanliness is below average due to repeated pest and sanitation incidents.
Service
8
Staff frequently described as professional, friendly and accommodating; one reported incident of the front desk refusing a refund for a pest issue slightly lowers the score but overall service is a strength.
Location
7.5
Location noted as convenient (close to Destin and Eglin AFB) and therefore positive for many guests, though some mentioned noise or safety concerns; overall location is better than average for travelers to the area.
Room Quality
5
Mixed reports: some rooms newly renovated and comfortable, while others are dated, had leaks, or pest problems—overall room quality is inconsistent and below target.
Amenities
6
Pet-friendly policy and free continental breakfast are positives, but parking issues and limited breakfast options reduce the amenity score.
Value for Money
7.5
Several guests reported good value and reasonable pricing for the location; however, a guest forced to pay for another room after a pest issue tempers this, so value is still above average overall.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast described as good or better than average by multiple guests, though a few requested more/better options; generally a strength relative to the hotel's tier.
Overall Experience
6
Experiences vary widely from comfortable and great stays to severe issues (bugs, leaks, rude refusals). The net experience is slightly below the target rating with high variability between stays.

Pros:

Very nice stay. Room was newly renovated and had everything you need to stay for a short or long time. Super clean and the staff was very professional, friendly and accommodating. Good continental free breakfast and very dog or cat friendly just with a very small fee!

Pros:

We got to our room, pulled the sheets back and there were bugs under the sheets on both beds. Went right back to the front desk and ask for our money back and was refused it. Said I have to take it up with Expedia. So I ended up having to spend 200 dollars on a room across the street.
