Hotels near Henderson Beach State Park, Destin

I've been a guest for a few weeks so I'll preface with this, I know a thing or two about this place. The Extended Stay America Destin is your GO TO when you want a home away from home. They offer a gym, laundry facilities, a pool area, and a bite to eat. Let's dig in! It's clean, VERY CLEAN. House service works almost 24/7 to ensure it's clean and sanitized. That's really important during a Covid crisis! I'd swear the carpets were shampooed daily! It's quiet and also private here! People come/go and I never hear a thing! The property is surrounded by beautiful trees. I'd swear I'm in the middle of nowhere! The opposite is true! World-renowned Crab Island is right up the street! Clubs like AJ's (where I've been tipsy a few times), the Rotten Apple, and The Boat House, are there also. And there's plenty for the kids too! Do you want to pet an alligator? Seriously, do you? Well, you can do that before or after you head to the arcade. SHOPPING!!!! Destin Commons is literally within walking Distance! Rent a boat for a small fee to brave the gulf? Where is the beach, EVERYWHERE! Right there on the property are plenty of places to just hang out and enjoy the sun's rays! You can BBQ and walk the dogs in the open grass areas! And the grounds are well kept! THEY EVEN HAVE A CAR WASH HERE! WOW! Hungry? The Front Desk staff are knowledgeable. A special Shout Out to Jessica! She's professional and pleasant. What more could you ask for!

Others are okay, that is, before the check-in, all the occupants must be over 21 years of age, not the same as those offered on Ctrip, because this incident has been dragged for a long time to stay, and the traces of Ctrip staff have been helping!

I love this place the cleanliness, the atmosphere, the location and above all the staff and their remarkable genuine professionalism and care for you as a guest. This is now my home away from home. My family, friends and business/personal acquaintances will be directed to this amazing hotel. Thank you Christine,Christie, Curtis, Laura, ALL housekeeping and employees. Everyone was so healthful and it was obvious as a guest I wasn't a bother but a pleasure to serve and now part of their hotel family. Honest hard-working individuals who are making this country proud. A Forever Guest and Friend See you guys again soon Teresa Parsons Nashville Tennessee

First off the picture of the hotel needs to be updated on the IHG website- this pic is years old and most likely reflects the property when it first opened. It isn’t even the same color anymore. 1. Upon driving up my teen stated that she was absolutely not staying here. The pool is very run down with debris in it. It is small and doesn’t look up-kept. This is not what we have come to expect from IHG properties. We are rewards members and stay at IHG properties around 10-20 times a year. 2. The whole hotel was dirty. The floors needed to be mopped and had sticky stuff and dirt all over them, especially in the elevator. I gave them grace- maybe house cleaning was sick. By day 2 it was still there. The check in desk is missing paint on the wall- it looks run down and needs touch up paint. It screams days inn- not IHG with an IHG price point. 3. Breakfast was a smaller spread than what most Holiday inn expresses have. My major issue is the egg white omelet was not an egg white omelette- it was the ham and cheese. It doesn’t seem like a big deal until you consider reglious and dietary needs- some people are allergic to milk and don’t eat meat. I asked the breakfast attendant if it was labeled correctly and she very rudely answered yes. Had I consumed this I could have had an allergic reaction. 4. Every employee that I encountered was rude and seemed put off. Upon checking in the attendant was clearly sick, kept sniffing snot back up her nose but was not wearing a mask. In conclusion I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express in Panama City. It has an amazing resort feel, gorgeous pool area with a lazy river and is actually on the beach. It is also the same price. Had we known the condition of this property we would have stayed in PCB and driven in to Destin daily for my Daughter’s tournament. I would suggest IHG quality control look into hiring new management- it clearly isn’t being run or up-kept to its potential and clearly doesn’t reflect the IHG brand.

If you can, don’t stay here. Upon arrival to the hotel my family and I noticed the holes and broken brick around the windows (every window) in the front of the hotel. The breakfast was absolutely horrible I ate the breakfast 1 out of the 5 days during my stay. The food is stale and very limited in choices you’re better off ordering out (which we did). Hotel price ridiculous for the quality, and staff wasn’t very helpful other than the woman who checked us in. She upgraded our room to allow us to check in earlier.

We really had big hopes for The Hampton Inn Suites after a lot of business travel in other states where I’ve stayed at their locations. This one is definitely the “ beach vacationers “ model. Overall, it was good and did the trick, but there were some slight differences in quality and conveniences. You have to request housekeeping if you want it. It’s not assumed at all. Not a big deal, but again, when you’ve stayed at other Hampton Inns, this was odd. We had a loose toilet seat and a warped door frame leading out of the room. Just little irritations that needed a refresh. Overall, seemed like they were trying to cut corners to save money - but it’s 2022. Who isn’t at this point.

This Hilton home 2 suite is really great. I booked a separate bedroom. The room was oversized, the refrigerator was big, and the tableware and dishwasher. The room was clean and the location was good. It took less than five minutes to walk to the beach. When I went to this beach, I can see the sunrise and sunset. There are many parking spaces. There are not many types of breakfast but it is delicious. Generally speaking, I will book this hotel when I go there again.

Family stayed here in July. Only complaint was had t pay in full upon arrival and check in. Did not know this but it was ok. Grounds are well kept rooms very clean. Staff is very nice and helpful. Not form of breakfast offered. Would stay here again

Room 159 has roaches and I do mean a lot of roaches

I ended up booking an extra night, price was right for what it is. The reception staff are really welcoming too ☺️
