Negative Reviews
negative:
Exterior areas look dated
Guests say that this hotel is starting to look a little worn. Specifically, the exterior areas look dated, although some also opine that the interior areas are looking worn and in need of updating, as well.
negative:
Highway too busy
There is a highway directly in front of the hotel here. Crossing the highway allows access to the Gulf of Mexico, as well as entertainment and shopping at Okaloosa Island Boardwalk and Fishing Pier. Unfortunately, the guests here say that the highway is just too busy to cross on foot safely in most instances, so you will likely still need to find a way to drive to these destinations.
negative:
Good beaches harder to reach
While it's advertised that the Gulf of Mexico is just across the highway and that Fort Walton Beach is a half mile away, guests to Emerald Coast Inn & Suites say that the good beaches with adequate size cannot be as easily accessed. These beaches are reportedly too far away to walk to.
