We asked for a quiet room, as we'd been travelling all day. We expected some traffic noise, given the location, but it was louder than I've ever experienced in a similar location, ie on a busy road. Upgraded windows would be a good idea. But on top of that, the hotel is right next to a go-kart racing track, which... More

The overal cleanliness and location of this hotel is nice; however, when we left for the beach, I left my purse in the hotel room. I didn't want to carry it with me to the beach. Inside of it was my bottle of sleeping/anxiety pills. After we got back from a day at the beach, I had a little bit... More

As the general Manager of hotel, I can be very critical. My husband and I vacationed in Destin the year and stayed at the Summerplace Inn. You can not go wrong. Clean rooms, great staff and close to everything. Just a hop, skip and jump from the beach. Thank you for a great vacation Summerplace! We will be back!

I am truly blown away after my recent stay at the SummerPlace. Normally I don't stay at independent hotels but I took a gamble walking in because of the outside. Wow am I glad I did! Cleanest room I've had in a long time and the staff was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were and... More

I have had the pleasure of staying here multiple times. The management and staff are always super friendly and go above and beyond. The free breakfast is more than what you get at most hotels and was very fresh. I love the two pools, the free wifi and the workout room. My room was comfortable and clean. I had a... More

First of all, don't pay more for an ocean view room - it is a joke! The main, highly trafficked, and very big road in destin runs right in front of the hotel, with buildings/hotels on the other side of the street, and then finally the beach. I could get a glimpse of the beach between buildings, but oh so... More

Summerplace Inn is listed as one of the best places to stay in Destin. But I will have to disagree. I will say the staff members are. You do get free parking, wifi and breakfast. But there is a weird "covered up" moldy smell in the hallways and rooms. It is listed as beach front property. The beach is walking... More

The toilet ran all night, door to outside slammed all night , heating/cooling system old and noisy. There is a carnival right next door that is noisy. The indoor pool was closed because someone was sick in it and the outside pool isn't heated. They use some God awful cover up spray in the hallways instead of just keeping things... More

Thank you for following up about your experience at SummerPlace Inn. I regret that you had so many frustrations during your stay. I understand your frustration with the pool being closed - however when a child (as in this instance) gets sick at the pool - it is for ever other guests safety that the pool is closed. We would...

I want to follow up with you regarding the fees you mentioned for having an additional bed. We do not have a price difference on standard rooms whether a single king bed or two double queens is booked. There is a price difference however, if you opt for an upgraded room (either a balcony or a suite). Because I do... More

Coffee served at the free continental breakfa. st and in the room tasted horrible, but that is just a taste preference. Beware of one thing, if you stay during the spring break season the... More
