Great Option for Broke Spring Breakers

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Jun 2022
I stayed at the Comfort Inn in Miramar for my freshman year Spring Break. I was there for a total of three nights. I thought the value was great for what we payed. I shared a room with three other people and while it was a little tight, I really can't complain considering how cheap it was. The room was very clean and had all of your basic necessities. At one point our bathroom light went out and someone came up and fixed it within a half hour.

Also, the location was perfect. About a 15 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive to the stretch of houses that most Southern frats and Sororities stay at. We spent all day at the beach and at night would meet with friends in Greek at UT, LSU, or A&M. We also ended up spending a day in Seaside which is only a 45 minute drive from the Comfort Inn.

The front desk workers were nice and the cleaning staff was nice. One thing I will mention is that they say breakfast is complimentary but it is nothing like a continental breakfast. It was a half frozen Jim Bean breakfast sandwich in a paper bag. We ended up doing all meals on our own. While there are a few fun restaurants nearby, we ended up grocery shopping or grabbing fast food to go most of the time. There is a Walmart that is a 10 minute walk away which ended up being super convenient.

This was one of the few hotels where there was no age limit on booking so that was also really nice. There were a lot of Spring Breakers staying at the same time as us and we never had any noise issues. When the door is closed no too much sound carries out.

Overall if I was a freshman in college looking for somewhere cheap to stay with my friends I would definitely book this.

We stayed for 3 nights for a family event nearby.

Rooms are clean, but rather small. Only suitable for 1 person, if staying for more than 1 night. You couldn't fit a second chair into a king room, space was so tight. "Desk" nested under the wall-mounted tv, was not usable.

Breakfast room and common areas were not always well maintained or stocked. Trash bins usually were overflowing in the morning.

Room tip: Rates are very high during peak seasons in this area. Ample on site parking. Only 1 walkable restaurant and no other shops nearby.

We stayed one night at the Comfort Inn on our way to New Orleans.
First of all, the location was
The bedding was luxurious, and we loved the comfy duvet accompanied by 5 pillows.
ideal for all beach goers, numerous restaurants, and outdoor fun activities.
The breakfast was provided in a brown bags. Granola bars, yogurt, egg sandwiches and the most delicious hot coffee.
The General Manager, Michelle Garcia was so gracious to us and other guests. She brought out trays of bags, cleaned the area and made us feel so welcome.
We will definitely return thanks the southern hospitality Michelle displayed.

Room tip: We stayed on the first level in room facing the parking. It was very quiet, and we didn’t experience any road noise.

Never before have I stayed in a place that was this stark and unappealing. This situation is the antithesis of hospitality. First, let me say that the hotel staff is doing the very best that they can under the circumstances. Choice Hotels as a a corporation and the company that owns this hotel are doing these loyal employees a TERRIBLE disservice by asking them to perform well under these conditions.

We were supposed to stay 3 nights, and we only stayed one. I didn't even want to stay for that one, but we'd driven most of the day to get there. The lobby was stark. There were maybe 5 breakfast tables, but no other place to sit. No couch, no chair, nothing. There was not one piece of artwork in the entire building. There was no corporate logo behind the front desk. There was no corporate sign outside at the entrance. There was a wire hanging where the sign should have been. There is no covered place to unload your car. If it's raining, you are unloading in the rain.

The room was even worse. It truly looked like a prison cell. There was no artwork. There were no lamps at all. The only lighting was fluorescent lighting overhead. If you wanted to unwind by dimming the lights and reading....forget it. The light choices were airport bright or off. There were no dust ruffles on the beds. Just a metal frame with a mattress on it. There were no curtains on the window. Thankfully there was a room darkening shade, but no curtains. (see picture) Our voices echoed in the room because it was so stark.

The room itself was VERY clean, but also VERY tiny. There is no closet, but a bar to hang your clothes over the microwave. (see picture) The iron and ironing board are mounted on the wall in the room, but the room isn't big enough to use them. Four adults would NOT fit comfortably in this room.

Words cannot describe how sterile and cold the whole building felt.

There was no hot breakfast, and it wasn't because of covid. They have no kitchen. There were refrigerated sandwiches you could heat up, but they got soggy in the microwave. There were pre-packaged muffins as well. When we checked in, we were told there would be cereal. There wasn't. We brought our own cereal with us, but there was no milk for us.

One more thing about our room. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious, but the hot water was an issue. For a while, we could only get hot water in the sink. Then the water in the toilet was hot. We could feel the warmth coming from it, so we checked. The shower water would only get hot for one person to take a shower – even after waiting 30 minutes for the water to “recover”.

Choice Hotels should be ashamed for letting this hotel be in this condition. We were told that the lamps and dust ruffles should be in next month. They've been operating 3 months like this, so if it were me, I'd check on all of these things before subjecting yourself to this environment.

New hotel, lobby and rooms were very clean. Five minute drive to beautiful South Walton Beach and restaurants. Desk clerks were very efficient and friendly at both check in and check out. Only one negative about the hotel - the walls seem very thin, we could hear conversations and snoring from room next to ours.

Overall a good stay. Very nice staff and the hotel is new. Our king room was clean, but we were surprised it was so small - maybe this is a new design?

Breakfast was under COVID restrictions, but what they could offer was plentiful - juice, coffee, milk, muffins, microwave breakfast sandwiches, etc.

Parking lot is well lit and access off 98 is pretty easy. Ask for a room away from 98, hells a bunch with the traffic noise.

Only reason no 5/5 is the small room size, dirty floors in the main hallways/stairways and the hotel didn’t seem 100% finished. No lamps in the room, furniture seemed cheap and no artwork in room or hallways/main areas.

Room tip: Ask for room on 2nd or 3rd floor furthest from road
