10/10 Excellent

"First time at this property and will be back. Perfect location."

Sleep Inn & Suites Fort Walton Beach - Destin West

8/10 Good

"Overall, my stay was great. The only critiques I have are that if you get to breakfast at 6:30 depending on who’s serving it it can be a little late and the food is lukewarm and they have no microwave to heat it up. They are pretty good about staying on top of refilling things. The only other downside is there isn’t a huge amount of parking so if you get to the hotel later at night, all the parking spots are usually filled. The beds are firm, but I like a firm bed. They are very good about making sure that you have clean towels every day and taking out your trash. The little convenience store they have in the lobby is fairly priced for the most part compared to other places."
