We made the mistake of booking this stay because it was relatively close to the airport. When we showed up to the property, it is located in sort of a nook of a large parking lot that is not very well lit. This doesn't help at all with the safely concerns of the area. We showed up and the Uber driver even joked about the area and drug activity. Sheesh.
When checking into the property, the front desk person was friendly enough, polite, and helpful. The positives end there.
The hotel itself does not seem clean and we saw several people walking in and out of the property. We got up to our very disappointing room with what has to be a 15-year-old 43" flat screen, a very uncomfortable, very creaky bed, and sort of a musty smell.
We ended up walking to a CVS pharmacy in the same parking lot to grab a few items and walked past several people outside. This included a shirtless guy walking out of the hotel ahead of us, a guy loading or unloading something from his trunk in the parking lot (not sure what), and a group of men outside with a very strong odor of marijuana coming from their area in the parking lot.
We wanted to have one last night in Destin before our early flight in the morning but decided against it due to safety concerns after walking past all of that and not walking to come back home too late to walk past it again.
We were very happy to leave in the morning and will never be back.
