Top Downtown Fort Walton Beach Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Destin

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay at the spark They installed a handicap chair in the shower and the room is very clean."

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."

Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach - Destin West

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this hotel last week was outstanding. Everything was excellent, from the welcoming staff to the comfortable accommodations. The service was exceptional, and I truly enjoyed my time here. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing stay."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Location & Amenities: The location is fantastic with plenty of nearby food options, shopping, and entertainment, plus a short drive to the beach. The pool was clean and a great temperature, and the continental breakfast offered good options including waffles, bagels, eggs, sausage, cereal, and drinks. Parking & Staff: There is plenty of parking, including dedicated truck parking. The staff members we interacted with were very nice. The Negatives: Room Conditions: Our room had an unpleasant smell resembling bacteria on wet fabric, dirty socks, and urine. Additionally, the TV had a large discoloration mark on the right side of the screen. Noise Issues: The guest in the room next to us had a dog that barked continuously for hours. I called the front desk at 9 PM after two hours of nonstop noise, and the gentleman assured me he would contact the owner. Unfortunately, the barking continued for another four hours straight, stopped briefly for an hour and a half at 3 AM after the owner yelled at it, and then started right back up at 4:30 AM. We checked out at 7:30 because the dog wouldn't shut up. I know other people complained, you can hear the dog barking down the hall. Irritated that the staff never did anything and we barely slept and have to drive 7 hours today."
