2-Star Hotels in Okaloosa Island

We arrived Monday after Thanksgiving to a friendly check-in by Carlos. We were quickly directed to our oceanfront king suite which was unfortunately on the lowest floor with a view of the pool below and the dunes straight ahead. Beyond the dunes was a view of a strip of the ocean. We had hoped for a higher floor, but the room was clean and comfortable, and we had plans for many hours strolling the beach; so, we took a walk, unpacked, and settled in. We had previously booked king suites at other Fairfield Inns and knew that the accommodation would not be a true suite. The large space is visually divided by two partial walls, but the bedroom space and the sitting space are open to each other. This is fine for a couple who do not expect to use both TVs at the same time; it is not great for parents planning to have privacy from the children on the sofa bed. The king suite would be better if the opening between the sitting and bed areas was smaller with two pocket doors to provide privacy or operation of both TVs at the same time. We slept well on the comfortable bed, and we appreciated the sofa, small tables, work desk on rollers, task chair, 2 TVs (bed area and sitting area), mini-frig, small microwave, 2 chairs, space for suitcase, 4 drawers, and small cabinet. The very small closet needs twice as much space for guests planning to stay several days. All in all, we found the oceanfront king suite to be a nice space for a couple spending several days at the beach. Our biggest complaint is probably that the TV had less than 40 channels -- need more. Freddie and Alexis provided breakfast with a cheerful attitude each morning. We count on the complimentary breakfast to start the day. Unfortunately, Fairfield Inn is still operating breakfast in pandemic mode: packaged breakfast sandwiches and waffles, 3 cold cereals, pork sausage on 2 of 4 mornings, oatmeal with a good variety of toppings, scones, packaged muffins, bagels, and yogurt. The orange juice was weak, and the coffee was too bold (please bring back regular roast); other beverages included milk and apple juice. Freddie and Alexis provided breakfast with smiles and kept a very clean eating room. The hotel is built with ground-level, open-air parking below the rooms and in a lot next to the building. We appreciated the complimentary covered parking.

Great room on the bottom floor, beach access is insanely close, literally 25 steps away. Hot breakfast bar every morning, with great variety of options. Good communication and parking pass from hotel staff. Very family friendly. We will definitely be staying at this location again. Room was simple, but clean and comfortable with an EXCELLENT air conditioning unit. This is a super important feature after a hot beach day. Always love staying with Hampton Inn!

Every staff member I dealt with was very pleasant and professional. My room was exactly as expected, with a great balcony and gorgeous view of the Gulf. There were signs of aging in the room but nothing that affected my stay in any way. The blackened chicken sandwich was amazing and the bartender was friendly and willing to chat with me while I waited for my food. Bottom line, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

First I will start with I am extremely picky & OCD! I do too much research before I stay anywhere. This hotel was WONDERFUL! The staff seems to love their job, especially Terri and Shauna. I felt like I was staying at a four star hotel. The room was spotless, the food was wonderful, the pools were great and the beach service was perfect!
