This hotel was built years ago and is still well kept. I watched it being built since I'm from Fort Walton area. The check in was fast and accommodating for my needs! Clean and comfy room with plenty of space to stretch out. We had a pet friendly room and the only issue we had was as entering, it did smelled of pet urine, i did mention it to housekeeping. Simple fix since we always travel with an enzyme spray to eliminate any previous pet smells since we do travel with my service dog. The room did have really cold a/c! Has a pool but it is not heated. We were there in the middle of April, so it was cooler than expected and super breezy during our stay. My niece and nephews all enjoyed the pool though (kids lol). Hotel does have a small gym to get in some cardio! The property is located on main strip of Fort Walton with rear access off Beal Pkwy but not on the beachfront. You can see the Bay from parking lot but not from the room since hotel rooms face east and west. Had plenty of parking and even has truck parking on the side with dog walking area. Breakfast did not have many options. Self serve waffles, bagels, packaged oatmeal, sausage, eggs, juices and coffee were available but not good at all. We ended up going out for breakfast which I recommend Neighborhood Cafe off Mary Esther Cutoff. Had delicious food and wonderful service there! Overall, we would definitely stay here again when visiting my family.
