Top Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Garden Fort Walton Beach Destin

8/10 Good

"Beach front property, Very affordable, Heated pool and hot tub which is great for the chillier days. Very close to any thing you’d like to do/ see/explore."

Wavecrest Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay here. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was great-lots of counter space, which I needed, and the shower was huge. I didn’t have a view (except for the road and the condos next door), but I didn’t need one. The beach was right there and I spent a LOT of time on it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The walk to the beach is less than a minute and the pool was nice and clean, and it wasn’t crowded. I am not a morning person, but I dragged my butt out of bed and went downstairs for the breakfast, and it was worth it every morning. They had a great spread. It was quiet, as it is more of the off-season. The only drawback I had was there was no WiFi for the first three days I was there. No Wi-Fi meant no tv, as it was digital cable. For me, it was not really a big deal. They had, quite literally, just gone through a hurricane, and in no way can I blame them for it not working. Overall, I was extremely impressed. For the price point, it was way above my expectations. I was there for a wedding and my sister stayed somewhere that was twice as much, and nowhere near as nice. I am looking forward to traveling again down there in the spring and will definitely look into staying here again. 10/10 would recommend."

Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach - Destin West

"Nice and clean, on beach condo. Definitely would stay again."

Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Walton Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was sooo nice! The staff was great and the breakfast was soo good! Sadly we only stayed one night due to being evacuated due to the hurricane but overall highly reccomend"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"The breakfast area was alittle disappointing with what they had to offer."

Four Points by Sheraton Destin-Fort Walton Beach

8/10 Good

"Everything was good considering we weren't able to be in the oceanfront room we originally booked."

Island Princess by Southern Vacation Rentals

8/10 Good

"Condo was very nice and had a balcony view of the ocean. My only complaint is there were a few small things that probably needed attention. The outdoor GFCI outlet was non-functional and the kitchen sink and shower head were both pretty loose, these are just nitpicky things though. Over all, the property was great and had a very convenient location. Pool was clean and all door codes worked perfectly, Beach access made the stay very nice as well. We will definitely come back in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet stay right on the beach!"

Sea Oats by Southern Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time with family"
