Detailed Reviews
This hotel is a solid 3-star hotel. While the style is a little outdated and the old carpet holds old odors, overall it's a clean hotel. Ventilation in the indoor pool area could be added for a better experience, but the indoor heated pool makes this hotel a great option in the cold weather months. The highlights of our visit is always the staff. Most are always so friendly and helpful. Sanjay who checked us in was great and was patient with me as there was some confusion with the original reservation. He asked the right questions and took care of it for us in a friendly and timely manner. He even offered an upgrade to a suite for the hassle. Leah is very friendly and he smile and positive energy helped me get my day started as I was moving quite slowly. I appreciated her adding a bit of extra joy to my day. The housekeeping staff and the
morning breakfast crew was also very accommodating and allowed us to grab a quick breakfast to go when we arrived with less than 10 min to go. Overall a great experience. We'll be back. Thanks!

This is a budget hotel , I gave it 4 stars for being that. Check in was easy and room was available at 3pm although check in is at 4pm. Room was clean and smelled fine. There is age showing , couch is old with some wear and tear , bathroom soap dish cracked. You get 2 towels which was fine for us. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was packed each morning so we skipped. My husband did say the coffee is great. They got a cute snack area that you can purchase beer , candy or a toiletrie you might of forgot. You might want to ask for a room farther away from the fun zone next store. We were the closest room to it and you can hear it if u try. But it did close at 9 while we were there and wasn’t an issue. Overall an enjoyable experience and for the price you can’t beat it. The beach is directly across the street but u do need to drive it but it’s a very nice beach , great for sunsets. A ton of restaurants close by , the back porch restaurant has great views from every table right on the beach if u want to splurge.

NO HOT WATER, THE TUBS DO NOT DRAINS.I was no hot water at 8:30 pm Friday the second of August, and the tubs will not drain, I was moved to another room and the issues was the same. Brought the issues up the hotel manager, there Excuse was that is was a older hotel and it will take longer for hot water to reach upper floors, but the first floor had the same issues as the third. No hot water, Old hotels should be half priced with old hotel issues. And the management will lye about the issues.

Horrible experience! The room wreaked with a strong pungent smell of smoke. This was advertised as a smoke free property. My wife is allergic to smoke so we complained to the front desk and they came and sprayed the room the room with "odor ban." We were restless all night. We asked for a refund so that we could go to another hotel but we were denied. The guy at the desk was extremely rude and the hotel manager was also very insensitive and condescending. The sofa was torn and the phone in the room went in and out. Also, there is only one tiny cramped little sweat box that they refer to as an elevator. We usually stay at a brand hotel but we were here for Memorial Day weekend and wanted to stay an extra night so we took a chance on this "knock-off" hotel. Overall this was the absolute worst hotel experience that we've ever had! WARNING: Please do not book this hotel.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! We stayed here for 3 nights and 4 days and that was too long! The only good thing I will say is that it's a great location and free breakfast but we will never go back. You always had to ring the bell for any staff, most were short and rude when we asked for extra towels (they only give you 2 in your room) and such and even had to ask for maintenance to come unclog our toilet. They offered us a plunger instead and told us they didn't know when maintenance would even be in. The smell of the room was HORRIBLE! It smelled like moth balls so bad that I'm having to wash everything multiple times to get the stench out, even my luggage! My friend checked into a extremely dirty room and when they asked to move rooms, the manager was rude and said it was just because it was a handicapped room instead of addressing the problem. I do not recommend this place at all. The price is low for a reason but not any good ones! Spend a little extra and get a better hotel.

Stayed here Thursday, July 28, 2022, through Saturday, July 30, 2022. Hotel was clean and front desk personnel was polite. On the main drag in Destin so of course it is extremely noisy. It is also located beside "The Track" and you hear go carts and whistle blowing until late night. You could also hear doors slamming at all hours. Hotel was full and with only 1 elevator you had a long wait to get downstairs. Free breakfast was a draw, but the dining area was small, and it was hard to get a table. Limited items - eggs, sausage and you could make your own waffle and toast. We ate the first morning but skipped it the second morning.
There was an indoor and outdoor pool, but both were so small it was hard to get in and swim due to the number of guests. The hot tub was luke warm at best and was nasty.
If and when we return to the area, we would not stay here again.

SummerPlace was a good value for what we paid for a five-night stay. All the staff I talked with were pleasant and helpful. The room did initially have a bit of strong smell, I think from cleaning products, but we got used to it right away. I am not a big breakfast eater, and the breakfast was fine for me, although I didn't care for the scrambled eggs. Although the pools are rather small, there is a heated indoor pool and an outdoor pool, which my kids enjoyed (the heated indoor). So although it worked for my family, if you want a 4+ star hotel, this is not your place.
I will say the location is nearly ideal for everything we did in Destin. There is cool go kart track/arcade/mini golf place next door (3 tracks actually, we rode on all 3), and there were two restaurants we easily walked to (we recommend the Back Porch, and it's on the beach), and we even walked to the beach from the hotel (although not carrying all the beach chairs, umbrella, etc).

Great stay and location is perfect!
We have stayed at the Summer Place multiple times and we are always greeted with warm smiles and outstanding customer service by each and every staff member. The rooms are quite clean and spacious and even though most nights are booked, the noise level is non existent. The beds are comfortable, the towels are luxurious and most rooms have a small fridge/microwave for snacks and drinks. The addition of an indoor/outdoor pool with a nice atrium makes this property family friendly and relaxing. This property is one of Destins’s best kept boutique hotel secrets! Do not hesitate to book rooms and prepare for a wonderful experience at a fair price!

SummerPlace Inn Destin is a great stay. We booked for 3 nights, even with a packed hotel, plenty of parking and no disturbance from neighbors above/below or beside. The front desk staff was courteous, Curtis in particular was very polite! Breakfast offered a few hot items (eggs, sausage, make your own waffle) as well as some cold/ grab and go items (muffins, bagels, english muffins, yogurt, cereal). The location is great for dining, entertainment and shopping however there is no ocean view.
