Days Inn by Wyndham Destin
"The 2.3 Days Inn Destin — STRONGEST WARNING in Destin with heavy cleanliness and service flags."
About The Hotel
Days Inn by Wyndham Destin is a 2.3-rated (437 reviews) STRONGEST WARNING in the Destin cluster at 1029 Highway 98 E. Subratings are dire: cleanliness 2.4, rooms 2.6, service 2.6, sleep 2.8, value 2.6, with only location at 3.6 salvaging any positive. Amenities listed include pool, free breakfast, free parking, pet-friendly and 24-hour front desk. CANDID FLAGS run heavy across recent 1-stars: ‘booked twice, never received confirmation letter, called to check they didn’t have me booked for 3 rooms — waste of time’; ‘poor facilities, old beds, musty smell, laundry smelled too much like gas’; ‘cheap but way better options — offer free breakfast but don’t deliver’; ‘did not honor online price — charged me again, later I saw a printout showing they voided my platinum online discount.’ Set expectations very low — this is a candid-flagged budget property in an otherwise beach-condo market.
What Guests Are Saying
“I had no complaints at my visit to the days inn. The value for the night i stayed was okay . i would definitely stay at this hotel again. Great bang for the buck” — Zachary M., 5 stars
“I stayed here one night. The room was quite nice. It was quiet but the bathroom had two issues. The light went out when turning the fan on, and the toilet made a noise often. It was comfortable, clean, and I had a good sleep. I did get a reasonable price, so all in all not bad. The WiFi worked incredibly well. The air conditioning worked perfectly.” — Voyage37452976768, 4 stars
“The pillows and sheets didn’t look or smell fresh. I am not saying that they weren’t fresh, just that they didn’t appear fresh to me.” — Vince W., 2 stars
