Though not a beachside location, this hotel is comfortable and within a short drive to all attractions in the area. Our room was clean and quiet, and the free morning breakfast was one of the best I've seen in many years of travel. The adjacent "Cheers" bar is a local watering hole that is good for a beer and burgher, with many TVs for watching football.

Hotel is clean & very comfortable. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Every encounter was cheerful, hospitable and genuine. The staff were very accommodating and thoughtful as we were traveling with our jet skis and service dog. The location was great and they have plenty of parking.

I didn't stay here, but we met our son and daughter-in-law here. They said how clean and comfortable this hotel was. However, I was really impressed by the staff. When we came to meet up with our children, staff knew we weren't staying here and still offered us bottles of water. We picked up the two who had flown in from New York, gave each other big hugs, and someone at the front desk asked if we wanted our picture taken together, and proceeded to do that on our phone. How sweet was that?

The staff at this hotel in Shalimar, FL were wonderful. They were helpful and very friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast each morning had a number of good choices and the prep people couldn't have been nicer. With family in that area, I visit Fort Walton Beach often and plan to stay there again soon.

Of note, the people at this location are incredible. I was printing something out at the business center and I was privileged to hear Tanisha Vidales leading a standup staff meeting nearby. It was well led, well communicated, and well received. Tanisha does a wonderful job with the staff, especially in regards to standardization and making sure everyone knows their job and common employee knowledge. The facility, however, is in desperate need of a facelift. I stayed here a few years ago...And not much has gotten better. New HVAC to remove excessive FL moisture would be a welcome change. Other aspects simply need updated. Nightstand plugs were a challenge for those of us with watches, phones, tablets, etc. that need charging. I'll be back...But, hopefully the update happens soon.

The staff is amazing at this hotel. As previously mentioned by other travelers, the General Manager, Tanisha Vidales, leads an amazing crew and she herself was very pleasant and attentive to guests' needs. We had a fire alarm the first date we visited and had to evacuate the building, that was an interesting experience. Our subsequent night was very relaxing except for the rain which put a damper on our beach plans.

Perks: Free parking, free breakfast and mins from Destin Beach.

This is a great hotel close to the airport. They are service oriented and do an amazing job. The staff is among the most helpful and courteous and they go out of their way to help. Rooms are big and comfortable and quiet. Bed is comfortable with a nice work area and very good internet. Refrigerator, coffee and small microwave in the room. Very clean. Highly recommended.

I checked in for two nights, I got there and drive around to checked the area and come back to my room to shower. When I turn the water they have the sign for hot and cold it’s reverse. I try to get in the tub and I almost killed myself the tub was very slippery there is no mat in there. I fell and almost hit my head on the side luckily I was able to brace myself but hurt my fingers. After I was done I went downstairs and ask for mat. The receptionist told me there was supposed to be one, he did bring one to my room. The hotel was expensive for antiquated room, my toilet have stained (see picture). My closet was out of tracked it was about to fall apart. I will not stay in this hotel again not worth the price. The staff not all of them was not very friendly, I was not even told what’s going one as far as breakfast and rules, there was a sign to wear mask but not enforced. The hotel to my opinion needs a new some maintenance in the room.

The staff was rude on the phone when we asked about checking in early and when we checked out. We were assigned a room and it looked half cleaned then someone had stopped and left. They reassigned us to a different room which was directly next to the breakfast area which meant at 730am it was extremely loud. We could hear people talking and even the waffle maker beeping.

We were so unhappy with the staff and room location that we actually checked out 2 days early and changed hotels.

The area of Shalimar isn't very nice so it's a pretty big drive yo even get to the Beaches or nice areas.

We wouldn't recommend staying here. We have stayed with Fairfield Inn and Suites before and this is a terrible exams of one.
