Rooms are clean and well equipped.
The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a good range of amenities for your convenience. Many reviewers say their rooms were clean and fresh. You will find the beds comfortable, the bathroom modern and well stocked with towels, and the shower hot and powerful.
positive:
You'll be able to sleep undisturbed.
In contrast to many other popular hotels, you will find the The Baymont Inn And Suites Mary Esther - Fort Walton Beach quiet and peaceful, even when it's full. It's located in a residential/business area, so street noise is minimal, and it doesn't seem to attract many loud groups.
positive:
There's so much to do in the area.
Everyone in the family can find plenty to do and see near the hotel. Your kids can enjoy the Emerald Coast Science Center, the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park and all the area's beaches. The upscale Santa Rosa Mall is just half a mile away, while nearby Mary Esther has charming antique stores, boutiques and cafes.
Negative Reviews
negative:
There's no cooked breakfast.
The breakfast menu comprises various cereals, waffles, yogurt, fruit juices, toast, pastries and other 'continental' items. While many guests are happy with these choices, you won't find traditional cooked breakfast foods such as eggs, sausages or hash browns here.
negative:
The air conditioning can be problematic.
The hotel's air conditioners appear to be getting a bit old, and some reviewers report that their rooms didn't cool down quickly enough, or that the units rattled or leaked.
negative:
Some rooms have musty odors.
Although most guests were happy with their rooms, there are reports that certain rooms smelled of mildew, and a few reviewers mentioned water stains on the ceiling or wet carpets from leaking air conditioners. Management may apparently move you to a fresh room if this happens.
