There is no more America Best Inn in Fort Walton Beach.
If you think it was bad before don't waste your time
checking in now. New name but different people all
different staff and look who runs and
owns it! What a dump it has turned out to be.

When me and my husband arrived to early to check in at our other hotel, we stayed a night in this hotel. I didnt expect luxury, however this was awful. It smelled absolutely horrible in the room and it was dirty. The shower was so clogged that when you were finished taking a shower you were standing in water almost up to your knees. The man at the front desk was very helpful, however this does not make the stay any more bearable. The next day we checked into our hotel in the Four Points Sheraton and loved it.

We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Ft Walton Beach bowling tournment. Half of our rooms (8 in the group) did not receive service. There was no refrigerator, microwave, iron, ironing board or coffee pot. The deluxe continential breakfast they advertise consisted of: corn flakes, raisin bran and 2 choices of little debbie snack cakes. No ice machine. People where using there hands to scoop out ice from a refrigerator in the breakfast area. I sat at the pool on check out day and watched the housekeeper clean a room. I watched her from the time she pulled her cart up and opened the door until she shut the door and pushed her cart away. She never took a pair of sheets off the cart, therefore the beds never got changed. I wouldn't spend my money at this hotel again. We paid $94.00 a night. The price you pay versus the services you receive in return are pitiful. The hotel staff were immediately on the defensive when you complained. Also several people paying cash were told different deposit prices. Some were quoted a $40.00, others were quoted $50.00 and one of my members was told they didn't take cash. They were charged deposits because they were paying cash. Cash customers could not pay for their two night stay all at once but had to come back daily to pay for their room--what a headache and pain. SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS ELSEWHERE.

We stayed in the America's Best Inn at Ft Walton Beach for a few days last week (before we were evacuated due to Hurricane Dennis). The rooms were dismal at best and not cleaned very well. The breakfast they offered consisted of Little Debbie pastries that were bought at the day-old store. Lousy hotel. Paid $85.50 for a dumpy room but did manage to get a discount due to having to leave early. Would definitely NOT recommend this hotel. Pay the extra dough and stay at a nicer place because this place ain't nice at all.
