easy strolls to parks and museums during our stay

I really enjoyed the easy access to the Indian Temple Mound Museum, which is just a short walk away, and the breezy afternoons I spent at the nearby Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park made my trip even more delightful, especially since the staff was friendly and the breakfast was good overall.

A practical review for you

My stay was enjoyable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially the breakfast attendant who worked hard to keep guests satisfied. Location-wise, it was near the beach and attractions. The cleanliness of our room and the friendly housekeeping made for a pleasant experience. I'd definitely return for another visit.

The location was fantastic for our large family, especially with our teenagers looking for fun. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Oak Tree Nature Park, where the kids explored and played. Plus, the clean pool provided a great way to unwind after a day of activities.

My wife says that the breakfast options were a bit lackluster and repetitive, which didn't sit well with the kids. Some variety would make mornings much easier for families with children.

Loved the clean rooms, the outdoor pool was refreshing after a day at the beach, and the location was perfect for attractions.

Hooks in the room were nearly non-existent, with just one lonely hook in the bathroom. Breakfast lacked diversity. options like fresh fruit, bacon, and different bagel flavors would be a welcome addition. The gym equipment was outdated and rusty, making it hard to get a proper workout. The mattress felt stiff, leading to restless nights. Lastly, the wifi service was frustratingly slow, not ideal for anyone needing a reliable connection.

would absolutely stay here again

The room was spacious with a comfy bed. Amenities included a microwave, refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV. Staff was super friendly. Breakfast had a good selection, including pancakes and bagels. The outdoor pool was refreshing and clean. There was a fitness center right by it. Great spot near the beach and restaurants, too.

Great stay near the beach!

We had a nice 4-night stay. The location was super convenient—only 10 mins to the beach and close to groceries. Staff was friendly and the hotel felt clean and updated. A/C worked great, and the mini frig was handy. Only downside was the pool wasn't open until check-out time, which was a bummer.

Enjoyed the clean and comfortable rooms, reflecting the pride housekeeping takes in their work. The friendly staff provided helpful suggestions for local beaches and parks. However, the hallways often smelled overwhelmingly of cologne, which was off-putting. Additionally, the missed room cleaning and the lack of an apology from staff contributed to a less-than-ideal experience.

The room was very clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and a nice space to relax. The pool was fantastic, definitely the cleanest we've seen, making our days even more enjoyable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, helping us with everything we needed.

The check-in process could have been friendlier.

Staying at La Quinta in Fort Walton Beach was a good experience. The clean, spacious room and friendly staff. I did notice some cleanliness concerns, but overall, the cute atmosphere and the proximity to the beach stood out. Great value for a lovely stay!

pleasant stay with minor room improvements

The bed in our room was extremely comfortable, allowing for restful nights. Breakfast options were plentiful, with delicious choices available, making each morning enjoyable.

Spacious suite with comfy bed and helpful staff. The parking for veterans is a nice touch! The pool area was quite relaxing.

Tiny TVs made me feel like I was on a strange game show – who's got the smallest screen?
