• Great location, will stay again.
• Small bathroom.

“Location was awesome, we drove up to Destin from Plano, TX. Was not expecting anything great but was surprised at what we got. Good service, great location, and Destin is amazing. Beautiful beaches, fishing, boating etc. Hotel amenities are good. Indoor pool and spa was good. Will come again in the summer.”

• Kid friendly, clean, great location, loved kid's club, extremely friendly staff, offered kids activities, free movie rental, cute rooms, soft beds.
• Nice rooms but little small.

“I loved staying at this Holiday Inn. The room we stayed in had a children's section with bunk beds, TV, play station, table, and bean bags. The hotel was very kid friendly! If you needed anything, the staff was extremely friendly and quick to act. The hotel offered free movie rentals, free t-shirts for kids, kids activities, and a very clean environment. As for the location, it was perfect! You could walk out of the hotel and right on to the beach. The beach was clean and breath-taking! I would definitely stay in this hotel again.”

• Great free kids activities.
• Small bathroom but was nice.

“This is a great hotel for kids! They have lots of free kids activities like games, coloring, a pirate does a magic show, and every Friday they have a birthday party by the pool. The beach is just right out the back door. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with kids. There are so many families staying there
I would not recommend this hotel for a romantic getaway or for young college students but it is great for families.”

• The hotel was very family friendly. The staff was super helpful and friendly as well.
• The beach space was small and didn't offer chairs like other hotels around it and the indoor pool was very cold.

“The hotel had a great location which is why I initially booked there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms and entire hotel were clean and comfortable. There were lots of amenities and things for me and my children to enjoy. Overall, I will definitely stay at the same hotel next time I travel to Destin, FL.”

• The hotel was clean and close to a lot of places.
• Bathroom was tiny, and hotel staff a little rude.

“The hotel was fine for the two days we took for a mini vacation. The hotel staff was a little rude, but all in all most was helpful. Apparently the hot tub closes at 11:00 so if you want a more romantic hotel, choose something else. But it was on the beach and that was all that mattered.”

• location was great, right on the beach
• we were on the 1st floor right by housekeeping and the laundry, smelled like cleaning supplies all the time

“location of the hotel was great, it was right on the beach. we were on the 1st floor and facing another hotel, so no view and also no balcony to sit on or to hang out our towels and swimsuits to dry. we joked that we were in the dungeon because we were all the way around by housekeeping and by the laundry. We could hear carts pushing by all the time, and the smell wasn't great either. I think our problems were related to our location, though because the lobby and pool and everything seemed ok. Maybe we were in the older part, I don't know. all in all, for the money, I was not impressed.”
