"Nice experience. The room was dusty, and the furniture in the living area was dated. I was disappointed that one of the hot tubs wasn't working and one was dirty. The employees were friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here.2018-04-25"
"Great hotel stay. The hotel was convenient to everything on Grand Blvd., and there were shops and restaurants nearby. Good room with a comfortable bed, and the kitchen area came in handy. The staff was cordial and professional. Really good breakfast with friendly attendants. Be aware that as you're coming in, the main entrance on Baytown Wharf gets backed up due to its proximity to the Sand Destin Resort gate since it is a roundabout. There are at least 3 other entrances you can access just a little further down the way off Hwy 98.2023-07-23"

"Easy access to beaches, shops, and restaurants. The hotel was comfortable and quiet. I had a restful stay. Exceptionally helpful staff. Have a great time here.2015-06-03"
"The carpet in our room looked dingy, and the furniture was outdated. The hallway floors, walls, and stairways hadn't been maintained. The best parts of our stay were the housekeepers, front desk clerks, and the amazing view of the ocean. Good complimentary breakfast. An OK motel if you're not looking for anything fancy, but it wasn't worth the price.2018-04-26"

I’ve been using HotelGuides for over 8 years. The agents are very helpful, and they try to accommodate every request. I like that when they email a booking confirmation to you, they include the hotel's address as well as its interstate exit number.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
