Hilton Garden Inn Destin Miramar Beach
This hotel is really a hidden gem. We checked in with Mary and she was so kind. After the second day, she sent an automated text to check on the progression of our stay. Breakfast is complementary but double check as I’m not sure all rooms include this. There is a nice selection of breakfast options ...

The staff was very friendly, the room was great. Only complaint was the quality of the breakfast food; not as good as it used to be. Other than that, a great place to stay and a very convenient location!
