The hotel is in a great location - I could walk to Publix or any of the other stores in the Paradise Key Shopping Center. Crossing the 4-way to the Destin Commons was iffy though.
The employees were all very nice and courteous. I expected it to be a little crazy over there with all the other people staying the night after the Fourth of July event, but as far as I could tell it was quiet.
The double queen room I got was great. I had no issues with the room. Bedding was nice and fluffy. I think I watched the 2003 Hulk movie on the TV.
The dining area was a little packed during breakfast, but the food was great and there was a good number of options available.
The pool has posted hours, but it seems like they don't really enforce them. I don't know if I just missed it, but I wish they had placed a pool rake/skimmer near the pool. I went in the morning and there were multiple dead/dying bugs in the water.
The parking lot had only a couple of spots shaded by trees, so keep that in mind if you go during the summer and can't manage the heat. Also, I don't know if they have employees that manage the parking lot, but people kind of trashed it when I stayed.
