The staff was great - friendly, polite, professional, all that you would expect from a well run hotel. The breakfast was adequate with both hot and cold foods available. The amenities were as advertised (TV, Fridge, Microwave, WiFi, etc.). The room was clean and I appreciated the clean duvets and blankets.

The only negative was the parking and access leaving the hotel. If you have a larger vehicle (full size truck, RV, work truck) you may have problems as the drive does not circle the hotel. The were a few mornings where I saw that people had parked their cars on the side of the road going to the hotel - not a big problem as the hotel is at the end of the road and there are no other business along the road. When leaving the hotel in the morning to travel back to Niceville proper usually required making a right hand turn and then making a U turn or finding a light controlled intersection due to traffic volume.

With respect to location, hotel was well placed for our needs as we needed to travel to Eglin AFB; Wright, FL; Defuniack Springs, FL; and Fort Walton Beach, FL

I stayed at this hotel from Sunday, September 9 to Friday, September 21 for training on Elgin AFB. My stay was extremely pleasant. The hotel is centrally located. It's very easy to get to Elgin AFB and Destin. Many restaurants are minutes away.

As with any Hampton, breakfast was served. I thought the breakfast was pretty good. Choices such as cereal, waffle and pastries are some of the items available for breakfast. The best part about the hotel is its location. My class started at 8am on Elgin and I left the hotel every morning at 7:30am, arriving 10 or 15 minutes early (depending on traffic).

I visited Destin many times after work during my visit and arrived back to the hotel about 8:30pm or 9pm. I always felt safe going and coming from the hotel. Also Destin is only 10/15 minutes if you use the toll. The toll cost $3 each way.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in or near the area. The staff is great and very friendly. The location is perfect. My room was clean very well. My bed was very comfortable. I slept well every night.

We were greeted very courteously by the hostess at the front desk. I have a broken ankle at the moment and everyone including the hostess Tanya, asked if I needed any assistance with my luggage, the breakfast hostesses assisted me/us breakfast trays. The housekeeping staff asked if there was anything we needed such as assistance or if we needed them to get us anything. We were given cold water bottles at breakfast and as we left hotel each day. Offered food during their housekeeper appreciation lucnheon and had management reception in the evening one night. Next time we are in the area we plan to stay there again.

I stayed for one night due to an early flight the following day. The bed was great, they clean duvets and blankets which is a plus. The first floor room I stayed in was dark due to a very high privacy fence outside the window. The room had a 32 inch flat screen television and free wifi. The cookies were great. The rooms were in need of an update especially at the price paid for a mid-line hotel.
