Holiday Inn Express & Suites Destin E - Commons Mall Area, an IHG Hotel

"Enjoyed my stay there. The breakfast was hot and awesome, and there were some different options each day."

"The rooms were nice and clean. The staff was friendly but it was very difficult to get extra towels. Also most of the ice machines and vending machines were out of order."

"Came to Destin for work. This location is literally 4 minutes from everything I needed. The room was super clean. The staff were really nice and friendly. No mold smells but the hotel is sooo close to the beach. That's amazing!!! The nightly rate was very affordable, I would definitely stay here again and again...."

"The location of this hotel is perfect! 10 minute walk to the beach, sidewalks the whole way. It’s walking distance to shopping and convenience stores as well. There’s a pool, but the water is WARM because there’s no shade so it’s baking in the sun all day. Not a bad thing, just something good to know. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping staff was excellent. My main complaint is about the front desk staff….they seemed less than thrilled about their jobs in general. There’s a sign in the room claiming you can call the front desk for forgotten toiletries. When I did this, the lady said I could come to the desk to get it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they have to keep the desk manned, but when I walked up there with my 2 young kids, there were two ladies up there. So someone could have walked it over to us (we were on the first floor). At check in, I forgot my sunglasses at the counter. Instead of bringing them to me, they kept the glasses at the desk, probably hoping I’d forget them. There was no attempt made by them to return them to me and they waited until I walked up there to ask if they had seen them. When we were at the pool, my husband went to the desk to get towels and instead of handing them to him, they pointed to where they were for him to retrieve them himself. They just seemed like they could’ve been a bit more hospitable to their guests. Also the ice machine on the first floor was out of order, so we had to walk up the stairs to the 3rd floor for ice, only to discover it was out of ice on the last day. The walls are also paper thin. We were on the first floor and could hear the moment the kids upstairs were up as well as other kids next to us crying or laughing. I have kids as well, so it didn’t necessarily bother me, but just something to note if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay. Overall great hotel, could just use better staff at the front desk."

"This was an excellent hotel. Room was newly renovated with iron/ironing board, mini fridge/freezer and small microwave. Beds were comfortable and pillows were great. Breakfast was wonderful as well, standard, but lots of variety. I don't think I've ever had blackout blinds that worked as well as these, which made it hard to get up for me but my husband enjoyed it. Air con was great too. Location was wonderful (well you, being on the beach is best but...). It was a 6 minute walk to the beach and across from a great shopping area. I'm very picky with hotel rooms and my husband booked this as we rolled into town (early for one night before our beach house opened up) and I was very pleased."
