Overall, a nice stay at a 3 star hotel. Nice area next to Applebees, walked over and picked up our food to dine in our room. Convenient rolling table moved between beds to dine with my 12 year old. Received 20% off coupon at check-in for breakfast dining room. Omelet bar good and clean though breakfast selections limited. Attractive hotel with bar in lobby area conveniently located and yet quiet. Bedroom clean and quiet except for soiled area on carpet. Great shower and clean bathroom. Beds comfortable. Only there for one night. Hotel is not on the beach.

The hotel was very clean and the lobby area was nicely decorated. There is a bar downstairs as well, the bartender opened the bottle of wine we bought for no charge, we left a nice tip! Room was very clean and smelled nice, clean linens, and a small love seat that was also a fold out bed. There was also a nice balcony, but it's a no smoking hotel so that's weird. Our stay was nice and we got a good price.
Positives: The rooms were very clean, smelled nice, and had beautiful balconies.
Negatives: More pillows! And they said they had HBO, but they didn't.

Each time I went to the pool I had to ask for towels because there was none to be found, they seemed to be put out that I asked. I understand once but on three occasions is crazy. I informed them of a bee hive that was on the side of the hotel next to the pool which was causing bees to be everywhere on my first night when I left nothing had been done about it. There was also one on my balcony which again nothing was done, so I was not able to use the balcony to my room or sit out by the pool.
Positives: Close to the beach.
Negatives: The electricity went out!

Positives: While not a 5 * hotel this property was as good if not better than most 5* hotels I've stayed in. Great place.
Negatives: There is nothing I did not like about this property.

We enjoyed our stay. We received bed size requested, and higher floor as requested. The elevators were very slow, perhaps because it was the Memorial Day weekend. Housekeeping shared the same elevator as the guests, and that may have contributed to it being so slow. We did not like the fact that the hotel left bottles of water on the nightstand, but charged you $4.00 if you drank one. It was very hot that weekend, and I was very thirsty, but instead of opening the bottle, I went to the ice machine and used water from the faucet. Overall, the hotel was very clean, staff was very friendly, and shopping very close.
Positives: Hotel was close to Outlet Shopping.
Negatives: Elevators were very slow. Housekeeping shared elevator with guests.

We stayed for 4 nights in 2 double bed room. The hotel surrounded with Sandestin gulf resorts which intends to serve their guests. It is close Bay town wharf with nice restaurants but we couldn't access to that road in weekend. We were given a tag to travel to beach or the Wharf. The beach is on Sandestin resort side you can access with the same tag you must pay 12$ for towel, 24$ for 2 chairs and 34$ for 2chair n umbrella. You must pay 5$/day for amenity card per family but you must call Sandestin phone to reserve for Gulf and tennis and you have to pay for heater per hour used. Like for tennis you have to pay 12$/hr per person.
Positives: Clean, good location, nice view at balcony, 1 mile from beach, quite and cozy.
Negatives: You must pay 5/day for amenity card, then you must pay for Gulf n Tennis which seems to be hotels amenities.
