Ok here I go i just got back from Destin I think this place is good, breakfast was ok very decent I liked the lobby a lot, but my concern were PETS ! I understand allowing pets (even though I don’t think it’s a good idea) but allowing pets into the dining area at breakfast time is what makes me feel disgusted it’s so unsanitary seen people holding their pets while taking food literally inches away from the food. Hope you take in consideration because the place it’s well located and nice.

Honestly, the hotel surprised me. It’s very clean and overall feels new or very well maintained. The gym is excellent for what you need, and everything felt very clean. The location is great, and I think it’s definitely worth giving it a try. We didn’t use the breakfast, but it’s the basic option.

The hotel looks new and well maintained in general. Employees are very nice. Breakfast is decent, not great but not bad at all. The price is very fair since it’s a good location, and the room is good sized. The two cons: towels are very very low quality almost like sandpaper. But the worst part for me: the ceiling fan in the bathroom was extremely filthy. Like I have never seen something like that before. PLEASE clean the ceiling fans going forward that was a huge huge con for me.

We were traveling from another state and booked this place around Christmas. This was the first time we stayed at a TRU hotel and liked the place. It was quite modern and yet artistic. We also upgraded to a room with bunk beds and me and my son had a great time. They had a little convenience store at the front desk. My son developed some fever and the staff was kind enough to give us Tylenol without us having to purchase the medicines. The hot breakfast in the morning was decent. The hotel is at a walkable distance from Henderson Beach Park and withn 15-20 minutes from Destin Harbor walk. Overall, we enjoyed our quite stay and the convenience of the location.

We had a great stay! Staff were helpful with checking us in. The room was comfy and clean, but the bathroom needs done more work. It's also more compact, then say a Hampton, but I don't mind. The rooms have a mini fridge, but no microwave. There's one on the lobby. I would also suggest adding USB-C ports to the outlets. You can use your phone as a key card if you're a Hilton Honors member, which was useful. The TV has a selection of Live TV, streaming services, and free games. The Free Wi-Fi is also fast and reliable. Free breakfast was great, but the pancake machine was broken. Your options are sausage, eggs (hard boiled and an omelette, but not fried), waffles/pancakes, some unique toppings, like Oreos and marshmallows, I have not seen at hotel breakfast before. There's also some bread, like toast and bagels. Oatmeal and yogurt is available. There's also a juice machine. There's plenty of space and places to sit down in the lobby. So, I would recommend staying at this hotel, if you don't mind the more compact room, and are okay with less amenities in your room. This is also not a waterfront hotel, if you want to know.
