Most of the properties available in Destin are condo's only. This is a nice, beachfront hotel. It is very child friendly with lots of activites for children, but as a couple it is still a great place to stay. My husband and I always stay here when we visit Destin in the fall. The hotel is clean and the staff are very nice. There is a restaurant avaliable for breakfast and lunch and the bar serves a limited menu at night. Outdoor and indoor pool and hottub. Free 24 hour movie rentals and popcorn and ice cream free in the afternoons. The hotel is also located in a good area close to most of the good resturants and clubs.

We just got back from a great stay at the Holiday Inn. The people at the front desk with unbelievably nice and really helpful. Our room was great, didn't use the pool but it looked clean and the beach was perfect. The afternoon popcorn and ice cream bars and morning coffee was greatly appreciated. It is centrally located right in the middle of the beach and so not far to many restaurants and shops. We will definitely be back and next time bringing the whole family!

Be aware that when you book through Priceline, the hotel will give you their least desired room and it can NOT be changed. Our room for 3 nights was on the second floor adjacent to the elevator shaft. Having the a/c fan set to constant allowed us to sleep through the almost non-stop elevator noise. The room was plenty spacious as was the bathroom. The beds were comfortable but were just full-sized. Shower was good and there were more than enough good towels. There were a ton of kids staying here. The hotel is right on the beach with nice walkway to water. Parking area was large. Overall, a good stay with the exception of our room being adjacent to the elevator and the front desk staff unwilling to change our room (regardless of whether the property was full or not).

you stay here - because you don't want to rent a condo and you want something affordable...on the beach...and in central Destin, close to lots of things. You get old furniture that's chipped, bathrooms with rust, doors that are warped and peeling wood, and all that. Come in the summer (we did last time) and there's a host of kid's activities not on the schedule for this time of year. Shockingly, their lobby is relatively new - but they tiled it 80s ish...so it's really bad. The food, no good, etc. But you get clean and modest appointments ON THE BEACH. We had the kid's suite - kind of cool - bunk beds but imagine that the room has been used more than regular rooms. It's very....mid grade ish. BUT ON THE BEACH :)
