Detailed Reviews
Four stars because you get exactly what you pay for. Just to clarify, I stayed here as an alternative to a normal hotel. The rate for the week I stayed was $350 for 7 nights. Thats a DEAL! The sight clearly states you have to bring your own toiletries, pay $10 a week for wifi, take out your own trash, and pay $7 if you want your room cleaned during your stay. So its a little more like a vacation rental in the sense that you dont have people catering your every need. Its a bargain for anyone trying to save yet still vacation.
The room was clean, the fridge was full size and the stove top was very useful! I can say there was some sort of smell that I did not love but got use to. Also, didnt like the bedding but brought my own anyway. I saw a review about roaches- didnt see any! Id

The staff here is nice and friendly. The hotel is clean and inexpensive. The only problem is the noise insulation if you have a loud neighbor. Keyed entry inside. It is worth what you pay. Good for people on a budget. The room is pretty basic, but does have a small kithenette with a two burner stove and a FULL size fridge. Plenty of cabinets also. Mostly out of town contractors, military, and budget travelers. I would recommend this place.

I stayed at this new hotel for 2 weeks for business at Eglin AFB.
It is an extended stay hotel, so along with the normal business travelers, you may have some unsavory types that are living there. The rooms are basic, with no luxuries except excellent water pressure in the shower.
I am not sure if the hotel doesn't have wireless internet or it just doesn't work in some rooms, but I had to connect with a cord that the hotel provided, which only was about 4 feet long, so it could only be used at the desk. There is no lamps in the room, just an overhead light, so you either have all of the lights on or none.
The hotel has limited front desk hours, but the staff lives on premises so they can respond quickly if needed (for check out or check in, or other issues). There is a full kitchen with large fridge, microwave, sink, and stovetop. There are no cooking utensils, pots, plates, etc, but the hotel does sell these items as well.

Hotel's Favourite
This place is a life saver and the staff are #1 top notch! I had to live here until I could find an apartment. I was so comfortable with the living situation here, the amenities, and the best hotel staff in the area I didn't want to leave. Bill the manager helped me on a daily basis. He was probably so happy to see me go because I needed something from him every day. Lol! India is Bill's right hand. Her inner beauty matches her outer beauty. You can't miss her and that million dollar smile. In the evening you have Tanisha and Karen on duty and they have become family. Everyone always has a smile and goes above and beyond to help all the guests. The rooms are clean and having the kitchenette makes you at home. Extended Stay in Ft Walton Beach, FL is my #1 go to hotel in the area!

The pillows and room were great. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and safe. Everything was as advertised. There is no breakfast and housekeeping is done every 14 days like at most extended stays.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. Manager, Duane I believe is his name, always had a bad attitude. He was very easily overheard talking down to another staff member in a way that was very unprofessional. He should not be working in a customer service or management capacity in my opinion. After reading other reviews though I'm not surprised and it goes to show that even at the corporate level they don't care. If they did something would have actually been done about it already. Staff wasn't much better. Various times as I walked by the front desk I could clearly hear them badmouthing and gossiping about other employees. It has a kitchenette but if you want to use it you have to supply your own cookware or pay extra to use what they have. They are supposed to clean the rooms at some point but good luck getting that to happen. Not once in 2 months did they clean anything. If you happen to forget your room key in your room they charge you 10 dollars to make a new one. Never got clean sheets or towels. Everything, no matter how minor, was made to seem like they were having to go out of their way to take care of. It's really hard to get ahold of any of them if they aren't at the front desk even if you use the lobby phone to call them as it says to do 9 out of 10 times they won't answer it. The elevator always had a foul smell to it as well. I actually dreaded my work day coming to an end because I had to go back there at the end of the day. The company I work for spends ALOT of money every year at hotels for our crews. After this I can garauntee they will not be spending anymore at a wood spring or any affiliate hotel. I will make sure the 100's of thousands of dollars goes directly to a rival hotel where they treat people like guests and not intruders.

I'm so sorry to hear about the negative impression you got from the manager and staff during your stay. We appreciate your feedback so we are aware of how we are coming across to you and we have sent your concerns to the proper management to work on addressing any issues. Here at WoodSpring Suites we are more of an extended stay hotel. We believe in taking a 'Simple' 'Do Better' approach to lodging and allow our guests a more customized experience. This means that additional items like cookware, are offered as part of an additional package. Doing this allows you to take advantage of a very competitive and low rate. Again, thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We hope you have safe travels. -Tom, Guest Engagement Specialist-WoodSpring Suites

After circumstances forced us to start over in this life, we came to learn that Extended stay America was a great place to do just that, start over. We are able to cook, receive mail, and we are close to work. Plus the staff here is just absolutely amazing. Bill the GM is so kind and hospitable, knowledgeable and helpful, he’s just a great person. India is the receptionist and she is just the best, bless her heart as many times have I lost my key. She’s always been there, every package, every “hi” from the desk. She’s just a joy to see every day. Even the maid, Leanne, and the maintenance man, Richard, or just the two coolest people ready to help us out with anything we need as well. Because of the people here, it’s probably one of the best stays we’ve had at a hotel in a very long time, so thank you stuff at Extended stay in Fort Walton. You guys are the best.

Never have ever stayed at Hotel/Motel that doesn’t even have a coffee maker, and iron or ironing board, let alone the word extended stay means hmmm maybe I/we will be there awhile so it kinda makes sense to have that basic necessity. Not to mention my wife along with another couple, had to wait over an hour to even check in due to fact that the front desk staff was cleaning rooms, and upon calling the front desk multiple times to no avail. I will stay out fear that I won’t even get a refund for the unused days of my reservation. But lesson learned Extended Stay America from here on out if needed. Would give a negative dot rating if I could

From check-in to check-out the staff was very friendly and inviting. They inquired about my day at work and how my stay was. The housekeeping staff did an exceptional job at cleaning and the whole hotel was clean and quiet. I booked a queen room and found it to be spacious. The general manager Dwayne and his staff were always very personable with me and always had kind words to say. What I enjoyed most over the many hotels where I have stayed is the full size refrigerator, cook top, microwave, and ample cabinet space. This made it a lot easier to shop for and store groceries. It was also conveniently located to Destin and downtown Fort Walton Beach. I would highly recommend this location to anyone staying more than a few days in the area.

Moving from VA to FL. This was the cheapest place for my family to stay. Now I understand why. Check in was late, due to housekeeping not having the room ready. After waiting an hour to get into our room. Decided to check all cabinets to find one of the doors literally fell off in my hand. Cockroaches. Leftover food from the previous person. Beds are uncomfortable and squeaky. Air conditioning filters are disgusting. Look like they haven't cleaned them in months if not years. Tub is constantly running and will not shut off. Unfortunately, my company is not paying for me to stay, it's out of my own pocket, so I'll have to stay. But once we're out, I will never waste another dime here. Front desk associate Bill. Well, let's just say Bill should NOT be a Lead? I understand workers are hard to find right now, but wow, people should at least have some form of customer service skills if they deal with customers all day. Also, 2 hours after checking in. Someone from the front desk literally walks into our room without knocking or anything and says, oops. This room is already rented. Wtf is going on here. Stay away from this place at all costs.

Waterfront, yes. But public beaches, no.
Not at this location, Mary S. We do have some pet-friendly hotels (with more on the way) but, as of today - only service animals are welcome at our Fort Walton Beach hotel.
