Detailed Reviews
It was a mixed experience. First the good stuff. The rooms were VERY clean. They have daily cleaning service unlike several other places that clean once or twice a week. It was refreshing. The normal amenities were there - microwave, refrigerator, etc. although we did not use them.
The breakfast was OK, although I cannot say it was exciting. It was adequate.
The biggest issue I had was that on the night of the 31st December, the toilet got clogged up. No one was available - and I can understand that. We were given a plunger. I managed to open up the clog, but it was a mess in the bathroom. Which I then had to clean and then shower to clean myself. No one from the hotel management / staff even bothered to check back. This is despite the fact I reported this to the from to the front desk while checking out the following day. I was expecting at least a courtesy communication.
Similarly, while checking in there was a manual error with the room number which was written on the key cover by the from desk lady. This led us to the wrong room, which obviously we were not able to open. It was then corrected. We went to the correct room, the door lock light would turn green after swiping the card, but the door would not open. After a third trip to the front desk, we were advised the door handles had an issue and a work-around was possible. During all of this, no one bothered to walk to the 3rd floor room and help the guests (us) who have been struggling.
This speaks of a lack of empathy and customer service. I completely understand things can happen and we all make mistakes. But simple human courtesy seem to have been lacking during the two instances I described. This leaves a bad taste.

We came down for a weekend to visit family and get away. We felt this hotel was the least risk in our price range and were pleasantly surprised and happy with the amenities and features. My GF doesn't like buffets but the server and other safety practices in place for the hot breakfast set her mind at ease. The room was starting to show a little wear in the bathroom but overall the room was nice and clean.

If for some reason you’re between this hotel and club Destin, please read on. If this is TLDR, then look no further and stay at the Wingate in Destin. Let me give you a little story. I booked a get away for a week for my fiancé and I originally at Club Destin. I won’t go into details here(you could look for my review there if you want) but their rooms are horrendous and not as advertised. We stayed for one night and I had to have Amex carcierge help handle the situation with them. We stayed one night and left to go find a new hotel. We went to Wingate based on price and having a room available immediately. Shaneka at the front desk was beyond amazing. If you’re looking at this shaneka just know that my fiancé and I truly appreciate all that you’ve done. We were Frustrated and fed up our vacation felt like it was being ruined but she helped us get on track and find a room. She went above and beyond to look everywhere for the lowest rate to ensure that she gave us the best price. When she presented the amount to us it was LESS than club destin. We were thrilled to at least have a place to rest and sleep in the next few days that didn’t look and feel like a motel. Our room was excellent. Everything was clean and felt new. No sticky floor, no broken furniture, and the bathroom looked like it belonged in a resort room. Breakfast included is a huge plus, the pool and hot tub were also great too and very clean. Very good location and easy to get to everywhere walking or driving. Beach is a five minute walk, just cross the road and follow the paths. Housekeeping treated us right and got us anything we needed. At club destin we didn’t want to leave our stuff in the room unattended, but at the Wingate we felt like everything was secure and could be left there.
I’ve stayed everywhere, high end, low end, hotels, motels, everywhere. Is it like staying at a full on high end resort? No. but is it advertised correctly and has a staff that treats you like an actual person and not trying to bombard you with timeshare opportunities and are friendly? Yes. Even if the staff was okay, I’d still give this hotel a good rating based on price and their accommodations, but the staff is really the cherry on top and made this experience a memorable and enjoyable one.

Priced too high. I've stated in $50 motels with better service, and comfortable rooms without holes in ceiling. Staff did not seem to want to be anything but the bare minimum. At $125 a night minimum it was not worth it. Took a $100 deposit and refunded it as soon as I checked out. Not even checking the room first. Why even take the deposit if you don't check the room? More of an inconvenience. Towels were soft and they had name brand bar soap. That is literally the highlight of the place. Asked to use the water machine where breakfast was served and was told it was only accessible during breakfast. I was told i could access the gym and there was a water fountain thing there. There was. And was bone dry. Furniture looked as if was falling apart. Could feel springs of mattress, dingy lighting. Would have rather spent an extra 50 bucks and stayed somewhere else.

Horrible hotel. If I could give it zero stars I would. Wyndham should be embarrassed. So you know, I am NOT a complainer and do typically leave negative reviews.
First of all, it’s not near the airport. It does not have a shuttle. They do not offer coffee in the morning although you would think they would since there is a coffee machine in the lobby.
You have to leave a $100 cash deposit and when you check out, they actually go to your room to make sure it isn’t trashed.
Rooms are clean-ish. Wyndham…what is going on? Your brand is losing it if you think this place is ok.

We arrived at 12:45 on check in day. They said they had a room available. I do understand if rooms are not ready for it is early in the day. They said we could check in BUT they would have to charge us $20.00 per hour until the 3;00 check in. In all of my world wide travels I have NEVER heard of such a thing. We left and returned at 4:30 and checked in. I did ask to speak to a manager and did. He explained that this is Wyndham's policy. Who knew?? Prior to my retirement I did do top level management for 39 years and do know that any manager can override this. So, my thoughts were they would rather have a room sit empty than make a customer happy. With this in mind, when we checked out at 7am the next day do we get refund of $20.00 and hour to the 11:00 check out? Think of that perspective how many people don't stay until the check out time. This is by far the most ridiculous policy I have every heard in all of my travels. I will NOT use Wyndham again due to this policy. The next night we checked into a hotel in New Orleans at 11am and they were more than happy to accommodate us.

First, let me start of by saying the ladies at the front desk are EXTREMELY rude!!! Then after dealing with their nasty attitudes, we get up to our disgusting room. It's old, dingy, the floors were absolutely disgusting 🤮 the toilet seat was broken, and the shower is gross!!! Then after spending an hour scrubbing the room, the people in the room next to us has a stereo system, and they're blasting music. My husband goes downstairs, and speaks to management about it. The manager did call them and ask them to lower their music. Fast forward to 10:30pm and the music is blasting AGAIN.🙄 I've traveled my entire life, staying at many, many different places. This is hands down the WORST place I've ever stayed at!! Do yourself a favor, and stay somewhere else!

This hotel is clean, nicely decorated with bright colors, and has friendly staff. TV remote is sanitized and sealed in plastic for new guests. Bottles of sanitizer in each room, sanitizing wipe with each room key card, breakfast buffet is served by pleasant hostess and front desk staff full of restaurant and activity information in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Warning!!! We paid for a vacation package that included two trips to Ormond Beach or Hiltonhead Resort. Due to various reasons we were unable to book and the trips were set to expire this month. We paid $500 for the package. They called us this month and they told us they would extend our package for two more years for free. After 10 minutes on the phone, he wanted to charge us $251 for the hotel fees. We told him we would pay that when we booked our trip and he said we had to pay it today or lose our "free" extension. Needless to say we let it go. Expensive lesson learned. Do Not trust these people.

This hotel experience is saved by its outstanding friendly industrious helpful and kind staff making the stay pleasant. Everyone from the front desk, information, housekeeping, cooks and breakfast servers are wonderful.
The management responsible for long term maintenance, upkeep (not cleanliness), and repairs, not so much. It is a shame that Wyndham would let such a nice property be neglected and not believe it reflects poorly on their brand. Just clean the windows, repair or replace stained carpets, repair nicks in furniture, fix the hot tub (broken for months as mentioned by many reviewers on many websites), fix the elevator and shim doors so they close latch and lock properly and safely.
While in Destin, I took a tour of Wyndham Club and declined their vacation offer, with prime reason being trust. How can I expect Wyndham to maintain the club properties when I have such a screaming example of Wyndham maintenance neglect in front of me?

I enjoyed my stay at this property. If you are going for the beach this will be a good low cost option for you. It is not a luxury hotel but it is clean. Beach access is behind the pool with wooden steps up. So you will need to be able to climb steps to get to beach. There may be a ramp I don't remember. My point is you are not just going to walk out on to the beach on level ground. I was very happy with the place and I am a senior traveler at 63 years old.
Arcade is good for the kids, and Water park are awesome
It is 18, during Spring Break if you are under 25 the deposit would be $250.00 refundable with no damage to the room.
yes they can!
