I traveled to Destin to visit my brother who was on vacation so I never really had planned this trip to be a vacation for myself, just wanted to spend quality time with my brother. I did know, however, that I would only be using the hotel to sleep so I was more focused on affordable prices when it came to hotels. Well, as they say, you get what you pay for. Let me first start with the positives:
1. They have a decent pool. Although I did not swim, I saw people enjoying themselves by the pool. The pool itself was a bit small but clean.
2. The TV in the room was big. After a long day of activities, I just wanted to crash on the bed and watch TV. I was pleased with my experience as the TV was large with plenty of channels.
3. Again, the price was great and gave me opportunity to spend the saved money on gas for the trip.
Negatives
1. No breakfast and no diners close in walking distance. When I woke, I so much wanted to get fueled up on a cup of Joe, eggs, bacon, and toast. They only served coffee. The coffee was okay. They have an updated machine that serves a selection of different types of coffee, but I don't believe proper maintenance and restocking certain ingredients gets done often.
2. This isn't really a complete negative, but there were a few shady characters staying there. I might be just judgemental but it is what it is. Still, I never felt unsafe.
3. Parking absolutely sucked. I got back at around 10 PM and I had to park at least 75 feet away from my room.
