Home2 Suites By Hilton Santa Rosa Beach

Home2 Suites By Hilton Santa Rosa Beach

8/10 Good
"I feel like the stay was good and the room was good. The breakfast in the morning was good. The area was clean. They maintained it as good as anywhere I’ve ever been where they served the breakfast. This was probably one of the best I’ve been at. The problem I had was with the people at the front desk a couple times. They was just not very friendly. I needed a couple things and I felt like I was getting cross-examined. But I did write it overall a four because I didn’t want one or two people being the reason I wouldn’t rate it because overall it was a good stay. I was just surprised at how a couple people at the front desk responded to my request. Before I left, one of them that I was upset with come back around from a three to a five. The other one was rude even when I checked out this morning."

"Such a diamond place!!! Although our trip was cut short because of the hurricane … we were extremely pleased with Ken’s place and are looking forward to returning! Ken was so attentive and easy to communicate with and very empathetic to our trip ending early and willing to work with us. Over 25 years I have stayed consistently at 2 places and I do believe this will always be our first choice from now on if there is availability. The cleanliness was top notch! The little details left for us were very appreciated. Staying here was so easy. Also, the covered parking is easy and access to the private beach and pool was really so nice! We really enjoyed the patio also. Do not hesitate staying here!"

"This house was amazing!!! I really can't say enough about the house. Destin Dreamers did almost everything perfectly! The check-in was a bit confusing as I was getting information from various people that didn't agree. They made it right though. In addition, when I had any questions during our stay they were prompt with a response!House was extremely well stocked. The added bonus of dishwasher pods, laundry pods, dish liquid was such a nice surprise! We had more than enough to get us through the week even when we washed the supplied beach towels daily!! The abundance of beach towels was very much appreciated. All the appliances were top notch! Wow... to have a full dedicated freezer!! Everything really was perfect once we got in the door! Thanks Destin Dreamers, I will always look to rent with you! Thanks for the fabulous house for our family vacation where we made some great memories!!"
