Beachfront and serene location
Hampton Inn Fort Walton Beach is right next to the beach. The water calms your senses and the sand is fine for you to enjoy relaxing strolls. In addition, you are encouraged to book a room with a private balcony. It is equipped with chairs so you can conveniently witness the beautiful sunrise and sunset each day.

Clean pool ensures a refreshing swim
The pool area is amazing mainly because it is surrounded by trees and is not always crowded. There are also numerous loungers, which are comfortable to use. Moreover, you will love having night swims there, along with the fresh sea breeze.

Recommended for shopping and dining enthusiasts
You should not miss the seafood offered by the restaurant across the hotel. Every dish is cooked to perfection. The property is near shopping areas with vibrant atmospheres and great finds. In addition, the vicinity is peaceful so coming back to the hotel late at night won't be a problem.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms' soundproofing is inadequate
The walls are not that thick so you can hear sounds form the corridors and adjacent rooms. Some guests get loud and disturb the light sleepers. Thus, you are advised to wear earplugs before you sleep and choose a room on the floor with the least number of people.
negative:
Issues with the bathrooms
Some guests encountered brown water during their stay. However, this rarely happens. Moreover, you sometimes have to pull the handle more than twice to flush the toilet properly. If the staff cannot fix things quickly, ask to be transferred to another room.
negative:
Furnishing needs some upgrades
The furnishings, especially the chairs and tables look a bit outdated. However, they are sturdy and well kept. Moreover, this is not a major issue since they are still cozy to use.
