Top Gulf Trace Hotel Reviews

Beachside Resort Panama City Beach

2/10 Terrible

"The Bathroom was nasty ask to clean housekeeping supervisor refuse i left they still charge me for that day never again"

Hilton Garden Inn Destin Miramar Beach

6/10 Okay

"In general the hotel was clean and nice but for the price I paid, over $800 for two nights they had the audacity to charge me $5 a day to park and at that cost I would at least expect a complimentary breakfast and coffee which there is none. They will nickel and dime you for everything on top of the outrageous price per night for the room."

SummerPlace Inn Destin

8/10 Good

"I don’t have a lot to complain about here. I called about an early check-in an half hour before arrival and the girl on the phone was odd-she wanted me to call her when I got there to check on the availability for early check-in. Not sure why I would call while I was there but a gentleman at the desk was very helpful when I got there. The room was clean. The “fitness room” is literally just a cardio room. There are 2 pieces of cardio equipment—nothing more. If you don’t mind that, I think you’ll like it. There was lots of parking available too. I stayed during Memorial Day weekend and I never had to fight for a spot. It’s also conveniently located close enough for a quick drive to the HarborWalk or to James Lee Park (public beach access with free parking) or to Henderson Beach State Park."

Days Inn by Wyndham Destin

2/10 Terrible

"First, it is rude to speak another language with your coworkers when serving customers (I believe it was an Indian dialect). I speak Spanish and prefer to talk in private. The room was covered in mold, including the walls, ceiling, fridge, bathroom, and lamps. Also, the ceiling has water damage, which is causing the paint to peel. The bed sheets were worn out and needed to be replaced; the microwave wasn't working; and the fridge had a bad smell and wasn't cooling properly."
