It started with a welcome at the front desk, then i was given a luggage cart as soon as i asked. The new carpet makes the entire hotel feel so fresh and new. There was easy access to both ends of the hotel, elevator worked well, no long waits.
The morning breakfast offered has something for everyone, it was a very nice free breakfast, again the staff working the breakfast could not have been more helpful.
There is a pool right next to hotel, with a small basketball court, all of which are kept up very nicely.
The location was great for eating at San Destin or the Grand Blvd, and a quick trip to Seaside is so close when you stay here in San Destin.
I think this Marriott is a very good deal for your money.

Easily one of the best Residence Inns I have ever stayed at in my numerous business and personal trips.

The rooms are very nice and recently renovated.

The entire staff was friendly and genuinely seemed to care about the guest comfort.

Was glad to see that most of the channels on the 37" LG HDTVs were actually in hi-def. In addition since Destin is a family destination, they have wisely made sure children's channels like Cartoon Network, Disney and Nickelodeon are included.

My husband and I went to get a little sun and relaxation. This place was just what the doctor ordered. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Our room was very modern warm and inviting.Complimentary breakfast had a great selection. We wil be returning.

Traveling for both business and pleasure 140+ nights a year being both Diamond at Hilton and Platinum at Marriott we come to know what to expect. However this property is truly the best residence inn we ever visited. It is also the best pet friendly property we ever visited. They even take your pets photo upon arrival for a weekly contest. The location of this property is awesome. it's less than one half mile from the popular Baytowne Wharf. Within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. within a five minute drive to many many more including a new WallMart and Publix grocery store. The staff at this property are very attentive . the evening receptions mid week offer nice selections including unlimited beer and wine. breakfasts is always fresh and a notch above most residence inn type breakfast. The setting of the property is both private and tropical. During our stay we met a group so snowbirds who stay Jan- March. most have returned year after year. This property is a short drive to the beautiful Destin beaches.
A 5 start Residence Inn for sure. all the rooms have been completely renovated. Feels like a brand new hotel.
