The location of this hotel is great: walking distance to the (public) beach, multiple great restaurants, as well as a CVS store, etc. in the immediate neighborhood. Unfortunately, as of May 2021 this LaQuinta hotel still used Covid-19 as a lazy excuse to massively cut down service. There is no housekeeping for guests staying multiple days and the breakfast consist of a bag with a muffin, a cereal bar, an orange and some orange juice. In addition, the service quality of the front desk staff is hit or miss. Although the hotel is new and a hotel chain like LaQuinta should know how to design a fitness room, the one at this hotel is just a random ensemble of mostly subpar equipment. Also, there is no AC in the fitness room. Under proper management and with motivated staff, this hotel could be great.

This is a good choice for a hotel to stay at when visiting the beach, especially when traveling with a dog. The hotel is within walking distance to the beach or only a couple minutes drive to the public beach parking lots. The hard surface floors in the rooms were a good choice for a beach hotel, although there is definitely a lot of sand brought into the hotel. We did not use the pool, but it certainly looked like an upgraded resort style pool. Overall you can tell that this hotel was designed with beach vacationers in mind.

this hotel is in an area where everything is (restaurants,shopping & Wal-Mart) - and the beach is directly behind this hotel, this is a good hotel to stay in when you are in the Destin Area. I will stay again!
