“Not perfect, but a good experience for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

This hotel was well worth that price that I paid for it (off-season). Room was very clean, nice balcony--though the view of the ocean may be a bit overstated in the promo info. Yea, I could see the ocean from our third floor balcony--barely--in the distance. The beach is about a 3-4 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is located in the middle of everything--that's good or bad (if you want solitude). Front desk staff were very nice and breakfast buffet was free--though it varies in its selection, day to day. Overall, it was not a big selection of food items, but adequate--I guess the waffles are the highlight.

Hot water was somewhat of an issue for us. At times, there seemed to be plenty, other times, not.

Overall, I would definitely return if I could get it at as good a price as I got this time

“Great for the price”

We came to Destin for our wedding and really enjoyed our stay with this hotel. We were there for 6 nights and every one was great. I will say the breakfast isn't quite as great as the hotel room, but you can't always get it all. I will say that this hotel is not located conveniently to the beaches though. If you are going to the beach, I highly suggest Miramar's beaches. As for the room, we had a king suite and it suited us just fine. The room was clean and everything had been updated. The staff was always nice, super helpful, and eager to assist us with anything we needed. I highly recommend this hotel!

Room Tip: If you book in advanced through their website, you can get great deals!

We got a great deal via the internet for $62 / night. Stayed 3 nights and we weren't interested in being on the ocean, because the next week we were meeting friends in Gulf Shores for a week on the beach. So this hotel was what we were looking for. Staff was very pleasant, room was very nice, continential breakfast was very good. I would recommend this hotel if you don't want to be on the beach.

Thank you so much for your recommendation of the SummerPlace Inn! Destin is a funny little town how it is set up with beach access - with only one hotel located directly on the beach - that being a full service hotel. However, SummerPlace Inn is fortunate to be directly across the street from the Destin Beach but having been to Gulf Shores myself, it is a much different environment to be on the Gulf, and I sincerely appreciate your view of this! If you enjoy golf there is a great hotel in Gulf Shores (Marriott Courtyard Craft Farms) that while not located on the Gulf is a great hotel located directly on their premier golf course :)

Hope the rest of your trip was amazing and we hope to see you again next year!

Best Regards,

“Ok for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We were looking for someplace to stay for one night for our wedding anniversary and ended up going with SummerPlace due to the price.

We told them we were coming for our anniversary so they told us on the phone we would be upgraded to a balcony room on the front facing the water for no additional charge. When we arrived (about 3:15) we were advised check-in wasn't till 4 but they would check to see if any rooms were ready and were asked to sit and wait. We didn't get to check-in till about 3:50 so I wouldn't say plan on being able to check-in early as you can most other places. When we got called up to check-in I double checked the rate on the bill and it was $30 higher than we were told on the phone. The clerk corrected the issue and gave me a new bill.

When we got to our room we were put in a 1 bedroom "suite" that did not have a balcony. We really wanted the balcony more than we did a "suite" so my wife went back downstairs to ask about moving. She was told then that the only balcony room they had available was on the second floor. I didn't figure that was high enough to see the water so we just stuck with what we had. Room was very small even for being considered a "suite". Had a separate bedroom from a sitting area. The sitting area had a couch and a chair with TV. Couch was very hard. Room and bathroom were both clean. The toilet in the bathroom is one of the lowest I have ever seen in my life! Very hard to sit on and get up from. The bed was by far the hardest bed I've ever slept on in my life. I woke up the next morning hurting all over as did my wife.

The hotel over all was very clean and I guess for the lower price I shouldn't complain but sleep comfort just wasn't there. I did complain about the bed at check-out and was told someone "the other night" had to have a piece of plywood put under it because it was too soft. I definitely know that wasn't the bed I slept on.

Room Tip: I strongly recommend calling them as you can get a cheaper price compared to what's listed on th...

Most importantly, I would like to say congratulations on your anniversay! As I can see in your review, the hotel certainly tried to excede your expectations by offering you complimentary upgrades, before you even arrived at the hotel. I am glad that they were able to get the complimentary upgrade charge taken care of prior to being billed as well. I'm sorry that you did not sleep well on our mattresses. This hotel does not have plywood available for use under beds - so I apologize for this miscommunication that you represent. This is not a complaint we typically receive, mainly because of the quality we use in comparison to other hotels. However, we each have different preferences - so I will definitely take into consideration having some different bed types available to guests such as yourself. Thank you again for taking the time to share about your expereince.
