Baymont by Wyndham Fort Walton Beach Mary Esther

Booking the hotel was straightforward, but the experience was disappointing. The photos online were misleading, and the service fell short of expectations. When we arrived, they asked for an extra $100 deposit for damages. The room had a musty smell, and it was quite humid—everything from the floors to the bedding and surfaces felt damp. It was clear that this wasn't due to cleaning. We were surprised to find there was no shampoo, hand soap, toilet paper, and only one towel and washcloth provided. Despite being advertised as recently renovated, the room had peeling paint and stained toilets and bathtubs. The managers were unhelpful and, unfortunately, quite rude. Breakfast was supposed to be served from 6:30 to 9:30 AM, but it actually started later and ended earlier. After 8:30, they didn't restock the breakfast items. On top of that, there were many homeless individuals outside the hotel, wandering around and asking for money, which made us feel uncomfortable. When I brought these concerns to the manager, they acknowledged the situation but didn’t seem to care much about it. I would strongly advise saving your money or spending a bit more to stay at a better hotel. This experience was truly disappointing! I would give it zero stars if I could!

If I could give this motel zero stars, I would. For $275/night, the room was disgusting. It smelled horrible and there was slimy gelatinous gunk on the shelves in the shower. The sprinkler was so rusty that I doubt it would work if there would be a fire. The shower curtain was slimy, as well as the mirror had a big circle carved in it, right at eye level. The floor felt filthy on our bare feet, so after showering, we made sure to not touch the floor with our bare feet. The bottles of shampoo/conditioner were empty. The desk chair was filthy. The pillows were very thin. This motel was the only one I could find that had a room available for 7/4/25. Do NOT stay here. It is very old and could use a remodel. The pool was tiny. I bet you could fit no more that 8 to 10 bathtubs in it.

I was charged a hundred dollars for a "deposit" fee and wasn't told about it until I checked my bank account and wasnt given a refund after checking out. Which left me short on other expenses and I had to go through the whole dispute charge with my bank

Wonderful hotel for a family trip. Breakfast was so good and had options. You get your deposit back at check out

We have stayed at this Baymont Mary Ester hotel many times and it is always very clean and very safe. It is family operated and most certainly a best value in the fort Walton, Destin and Navarre area. Breakfast bar is very basic but Sufficient. We hope to utilize the hotel again.

Save your money. Go anywhere else It was not good. They never cleaned the room. Rooms are not as advertised. They are very poor quality. Breakfast is not a full breakfast
