Benchmark Southeastern United States hotels

"The property is well cared for. Rooms are clean. The outdoor bar off of the lobby is a great place to hang out and the staff was very friendly. One downside for us on this trip was that this property was FULL of kids. We traveled without our kids this time and were looking for a different/more relaxed experience. The pool was full of kids and it was nearly impossible to get a chair by the pool because families were out there by 8am....not that I really wanted to be at the pool after all because it was pretty loud. We also tried the beach and it was packed. You could barely get a glimpse of the water. The hotel has beds with LARGE canopies that are set up all along the front row ($400 to rent for the day). They ruin the view. Get to the beach by 9am if you want a chance at a view without paying for the beds. I have stayed here in the past and had a much different/more positive experience. I'd go back with my kids, but I'll be looking for another hotel for an adult weekend meant for relaxing."

"Great place "

"Everything was great, except the AWFUL sewer smell coming from the bathroom. It was worse when we turned the shower on. "

"This was my first time staying here, normally I stay at Marriott properties . This is a time share location, you will be offered a $200 giftcard to sit for 90min sales pitch, while declined. If you have limited mobility such as myself request to be booked in font of your building if possible. The property is huge. And if on tbe bottom floor you'll definitely hear upstairs guests noise and early riser outside. Pictures shown on booking site are accurate. Id definitely recommend booking if you have a large family and needs an affordable option. "

"The hotel is amazing, the staff is great, the downtown area is very sketchy. "

"The best hotel in south Florida "

"Check in and out was very easy. Staff was very nice and friendly from the front desk, maid service and restaurant. Room was clean and roomy and showers were always nice and hot. Location was close to parks, just a lot of traffic in the area. Definitely would recommend and stay again. "

"The property location and the stunning view of the beach were fantastic. "

"Great place for a quiet getaway in Destin! "
