Spark by Hilton Destin

We booked this through hotwire because it said it was 3 stars, but we disagreed and got a refund with them. I'm sure it was nice a few decades ago but they are in need of new furniture, carpets, and mold resistant walls (see pictures). The smell was musty and I agree with the other review about needing to throw out the pullout bed. I rated it 2 because the staff was very nice, the breakfast was ok, and the location is as close as you can be to the beach without being in a condo.

Finally made it to Destin. Awesome place, lovely beaches and lots of choices for food. Hotel was reasonable and gave us our AAA discount. Loved that. We got there a little early but they called us once a room was ready. We got a suite with 2 queen beds that were almost like separate rooms. That was awesome. The room was very clean and smelled fresh which was great. The staff was very friendly, especially the breakfast team. They were prompt, courteous and very pleasant. The two downsides were walking into the hotel, there was a damp carpet smell. Not very noticeable but just enough to make you wonder if the room would be okay. For us the room was okay. Also on the day of check out, we were asked at 10:30 am if we planned to leave today. Check out is 11 am. Just made us felt rushed. Front desk was very apologetic when I asked about that but I still felt a little pushed. Overall good trip and I would recommend them as ask option if looking for a place to stay in Destin. Good access to mall and places to eat not to mention beaches. Just be aware you are not right against the beach so you have to drive for a swim.

Under construction and new management. Is now owned and operated by Hilton. The breakfast was the same every day. No waffles or pastries. The coffee was the same although maked as different. I am loyal to Best Western, but Hilton has tried to cut costs...

Everything was great except the breakfast was exactly the same every single day. They need more variety and they need to end the breakfast at the actual closing time and not earlier. They always ran out of food before the breakfast end time. They need more choices. We ate the same things for 7 days.

Stayed 3 nights here. Great location nere shopping At Destin commons (and The movies) and a 10 minute Walk to The beach! Good restaurants nearby. Big Spacious room ( Suite) with 2 rooms ! Great for a family Of four! Small gym but all right! What keeps me from giving IT a 5 is The way too small breakfast Room for such a big Hotel! Always crowded because there is too little space! Had breakfast 10 minuters before closing everyday so we Didn't have to stand up!! Pool Also had problems At our stay, some chemical inbalance which took 1 1/2 day to fix. Nice staff! The washing room had some issues with one Of The cleaners leaving residue on all our clothes. The management reluctantly gave us refund on The money. But. IF you don't have to wash anything this wont be a problem! Overall a almost perfect stay!
