We have been routinely been coming to the Ft Walton area for about 2 years now, and I can’t believe we haven’t stayed here before. Housekeeping was fantastic, front staff was lovely, and everything was incredibly well maintained. There were some elevator issues while we were there, but we were not affected. We traveled with 2 labs, and it was so nice to have so much lawn space around the property for them to walk around. They also had smart TV’s, which was appreciated. Great shower pressure, bed was decently comfortable, and the hair dryer was actually clean and worked well. 10/10 would recommend, especially for dog owners.

Apart from the aesthetic of the hotel, I love the rooms and the bedsheets. They look luxurious. And one thing I noticed in the cafeteria was that, you don’t have to make your pancakes yourself, they have a pancake making machine there. My kids thought that was so cool. The staff were friendly and helpful.I will rate our extras 10/10! I have no complaints!👌
