This is our 4th time to stay at this hotel. And this was a great stay as it usually is. We were upgraded as Hilton Diamond members, I asked when we arrived and amazingly they had a gulf view room with a king bed! Heck yeah! We will take it! The front desk ladies were surprised it was available for the 3 nights-it must have been meant to be. The room was clean and comfortable. Something new at the hotel is they have shampoo, conditioner and lotion dispensers mounted to the walls. Great for the environment! Get rid of all those little bottles! Great idea! Hampton breakfast was the same as all the others, we only ate it once then we explored local favorites on the other mornings for breakfast. The location is great! Every room has a balcony or patio. If you're on the first floor you can exit the door to your patio and walk down the walkway to the beach. I love this location! read more

As a precaution, I recommend always always Always check the A/C Units Dust Collector/Catcher Pads! I've noticed no matter how many 's an establishment has, NO One, ever seems to take any care in cleaning the air unit system for each room.‍ Stay educated, Stay Healthy, Stay Aware! read more

For location and the cost, that this hotel should be top shelf,with so much more than the basics being offered. Business receptions and other things should be offered, besides just cookies. As it sits between beautiful hotels, bring this to the level it deserves. As a Hilton Honors Gold, was not even offered water on arrival. The AC unit within the room was obnoxiously loud also. read more

There was a snaffoo with our original booking, but the front desk supervisor, Angel Morefield, was perceptive, patient, and proactive in helping us straighten things out. we had a wonderful stay, and truly appreciate the excellent service and organization at the Hampton Inn on Okaloosa Island. read more

For the location it great. Complimentary breakfast was good and staff was friendly. Best price we could find for that "right on beach" location. Room was clean and bed comfortable. read more

The people at the front desk were so nice that I talked so long that my family left to play mini golf without me. Rooms were nice as well. Yup. Come on through read more

Has to be the loudest hotel I have ever stayed at. Hotel does not appear to have any sort of quiet hours as you have people partying and playing in the hallway all hours of the night. Can be heard from the front desk area, but not addressed. If you want a peaceful vacation, I would suggest going elsewhere. read more

As a family that typically travels for gymnastics competitions and for vacation and as Diamond Hilton Honors members, I felt inclined to write a less than ideal review for this specific hotel. Granted, we used points to stay here, I felt we could have spent the extra points to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, which was nearby. First, let me share the downside to our experience. The hallway carpets were dirty. The rooms were dark. Thankfully, there are large windows that can be opened up to make up for the lack of lighting in the room. Our first time walking into the room, I found a blue contact lense on the carpet near the bed and a water bottle cap underneath the bed. This led me to believe the room was not thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival. I understand the hotel is near a beach, but the elevator and hallways were often wet and sandy, which may have posed as a safety hazard (slipping). The pool area lacked towels and had trash left behind on the floor and tucked alongside the pool fence. The pathway to the beach that runs alongside the hotel was littered with cigarette butts. We tried to ask for an hour extension for late check-out and were denied. I will say this is a first of all the Hilton hotels we have stayed at. My husband had a question and used the app and did not receive a reply. Any other hotel we've stayed at, we've received replies in a timely manner. We had to ask for our complimentary bottles of water and snacks when this is usually offered immediately upon check-in. However, there were good parts of our experience. There is a path for easy access to the beach. Breakfast items were well stocked, and the staff ensured to keep it tidy. The hot water in the showers stayed hot as anticipated. This is not always the case in other hotels. Location was great, near restaurants, and close to the convention center. Our overall experience was okay, at best. The cons weren't a huge inconvenience, but all the little things can be improved. We stayed here 3 days, 2 nights. I personally would spend the extra points or money to stay at another Hilton brand for better amenities and a higher quality experience. read more

This place IS NOT on the beach it is on a parking lot surrounded by condos you can not see the beach at all! Cable would not work whole trip they have satellite I believe it was dish not sure but here we are at a hotel that has ZERO beach view with tv that cuts in and out continuously I mean non stop the front desk people are never at the desk then when I did call him he told me to wait a second and came out 3 min later like I was interrupting his evening text I will update as to how we were compensated for our ruined trip the beds are wonderful but that's a good thing since we cannot see the beach or watch TV television VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTED read more

So far not impressed. And the front desk person was hard to understand and not helpful. He also asked me for my ID when my husband was on the reservation. Just little annoying things. Not overly impressed. read more

I've been staying at Hilton and Hilton properties for a very long time. I've never had an issue. We stayed at this particular hotel one night in late June. The room was clean, staff were friendly. No issues. After leaving I realized I had some bites on my arm. After have them confirmed at a doctors office that they are in fact bed bug bites I contacted the hotel. I called a few times being put on hold and hung up on once. Finally reach the GMs voicemail and let them know what had occurred. I've never heard anything back. It's been 12 days and arm is so itchy and has raised welts on it. I'm so frustrated and praying this doesn't get infected or leave a scar. read more

Do not stay here unless you're okay with roaches, fleas and bed bugs in multiple rooms. Our first room had roaches in the bathroom, front desk gentleman was apologetic and helped get us into a second room downstairs. We packed our family of four up into two luggage carts and moved to our new room only to finally go to bed and see bed bugs in both beds! Yet again, the front desk gentleman is apologetic and calls his manager while I once again pack up our things onto two luggage carts and head to the front desk area where we meet another couple, sitting down with their things waiting to be moved since their room has fleas. While we were waiting at the front desk I also see a bed bug crawling on my 8 year old's Tshirt which I pulled off her and killed. We were moved to the Hilton Garden Inn, where the Hampton manager, Sandy Beebe gave us a one night voucher to stay and she refunded the cost for our stay. We booked the Hampton for a four night stay; after three packings and unpackings in one day and late into the night, moving to a second hotel, along with throwing away the clothes we were wearing to bed, my son's favorite childhood blanket and two of our personal pillows, we were exhausted. I asked the manager to provide vouchers for the remaining three nights at the Hilton Garden Inn and she refused, saying she would file a claim with insurance to reimburse us for the items we had to toss in the trash which I acknowledged and appreciated. I explained to the manager we would not be able to pay for three nights at the Hilton Garden Inn as it's much more expensive than the Hampton and therefore we would have to find yet another hotel and yet another packing and unpacking of our things. This also cut into most of our first day evening and second day in Florida all while managing my daughter's dance competition schedule. The manager became frustrated, unprofessional, condescending and rude and then got upset even more when I returned the frustration and called her out on her unprofessionalism. She basically accused me of bringing the bed bugs into the room and also denied the roach and flea issues after I saw the roaches and talked to the couple dealing with fleas myself. I wish I had taken a picture of the roaches but I did snap an awesome picture of one of the bed bugs. Which, by the way, Sandy the manager didn't really seem concerned at the fact there were bed bugs in our room and all our things were exposed. The only reason I give this a one star is because I HAVE TO and due to the front desk gentleman at the Hampton who maintained his composure and was authentic in his apologies. I honestly felt bad for him as he was dealing with our bed bug issue as well as the other couples flea issue at the same time. I stay at Hilton hotels multiples times a month for work and pleasure and this by far, was the worst hotel experience I've ever encountered. read more

BYOP. Bring your own pillow which I'm glad that I did. Not a reason to knock off a star. We absolutely loved it. We had a room on the first floor and had a bunch of beach stuff and was on a beach cart. Your balcony was a direct walk to the beach which was amazing we loved it! read more

First glance it looks ok but that's just the beginning. First walking in to the lobby they have a huge sheet of plastic hanging up because of renovations. They won't let you walk inside since they have the hallway shut down so you have to walk outside to the other side of the building to access your room. The renovators are also staying there at the hotel and get very loud at night, in the instance they were outside on the sidewalk partying it up until 11pm. I got one of the so called "renovated rooms", the bathtub looked like it had been painted cause the inside of the tub was scratched and pealing. The drain and over flow drain had green buildup on it when the chrome plating comes off and exposes the copper or brass. Also, whoever cleaned my room didn't vacuum last cause they tracked all the debris from the construction into the bathroom and carpet. Why am I also disgusted with this hotel you might ask? Well I booked directly off the Hilton site and they have nothing on there stating they are going thru a major remodel. I'll never stay here again even if they gave me a free night. read more

First of all I booked the wrong Hampton Inn, thought it was Destin. But was quite pleased with my mistake. If you are on the 1st floor the ocean is about a 60 second walk. Nice white, clean sand and no sharks The room was clean and nicely laid out. Free HBO and Wi-fi. Small fitness room open from 6 am to midnight. And free breakfast from 6am to 10 am. The front end people were very friendly and made sure I was happy with the room. Overall pleased with the hotel and location. read more

Our stay was good. Beds very comfortable. Showers were clean and had very hot water. The sink drain was very slow draining. The breakfast was amazing! The only complaint was the air conditioning was little difficult to set! Hotel rooms have side views there is only 8 or 10 rooms with gulf front views. Still very nice up-to-date rooms. Will return! read more

We booked this place because we thought "You can't go wrong with Hampton". Unfortunately, this place did not live up to the Hampton name. If you view this hotel from the beach, it really looks out of place , being only two stories. During our visit, the place was more like a motel. We could only access our room from the patio, because the interior hall was completely shut down. The breakfast was sub-par. With the exception of a bit of ham in the eggs, they did not even have meat available. I will give them kudos on the Waffle setup. They had more toppings available (including chocolate chips) than any other place I have stayed. Hint: If you book "Dune View", it means you are on the first floor, and you will not be able to see the ocean. Ocean view means you are on the second floor. The are only five "Ocean View" rooms available. So the odds of getting a decent room are not too favorable. And even if you get an ocean view, you'll only be on second floor. You'll get much better view anywhere else!! read more

Good location easy access to white beach. I would stay here again and the rooms were pretty good. The parking gets full and some times can take time where to park. read more

First,I did not take photos. My review is based on a recent last minute trip that was planned one day prior to my arrival. Pros:The hotel is on the beach, meaning you are able to exit and walk less than 50 yards to the waters edge. Breakfast is free. Cons: Dogs are allowed in any room. Major negative for me and others who are allergic to animals. Especially wet ones. The hotel smells like an old bag of dirty socks with super long hallways that are full of carpet. I never saw anyone vacuum the hallways. I looked under my bed and nearly threw up at the amount of filth. There is a small pool with limited space for comfort unless you mind being super social with other guest and their children of which there were plenty. I asked the housekeeper if she would be able to give me a quick vacuum in my room...she basically told me that she was too busy. The TV was broken and needed to be replaced...I was hired on as a temp to assist the 70 year old maintenance guy with the process. Be sure to BYOB...the front desk prices for snack and beverages are sinful. There's a publix about a mile away and 30 mins drive with the one way area traffic. Let's see...the beds I slept in were just short of soft concrete maybe?? With one positioned about 1ft away from the old fashioned ac unit...correct,no central AC. There is one elevator but luckily the building is only two stories so the steps were a breeze unless ofcourse you are physically impared. Overall,I have come to the conclusion that in a post covid and new age of non existing customer service, that keeping expectations low is key.The lines between price and customer satisfaction are gone. You simply pay and pay alot,expect little in return,make the best of it or stay home....Working people act as if you owe them something seperate from what they're being paid to do. Like sympathy fees, kindness fees, getting to work fees and I need tips for motivation fees... read more

What makes a hotel stay special? It's all about the staff, and Hampton Inn Fort Walton Beach has the best staff of any Hilton property I have stayed (which has been many). The front end staff (Ethan, Shannon, Tammy and Christine) are awesome; always greeting with a smile and personal attention, I consider this team to be my good friends in Florida. The breakfast and keeping staff are great as well, Thanks Elma and Chasity! read more

Denise (front office supervisor) MADE our entire stay! She was incredibly friendly, funny, & super accommodating! She gave great recommendations for food or things to check out as well! The hotel itself is centrally located to everything (ie walking distance to food, bars, putt putt, etc) as well as being right on the beach. The pool is small, quaint, and refreshing. read more

My girlfriend and I recently stayed here on a quick Spring Break trip, and it was amazing! The staff was very friendly, room was spacious and clean, breakfast good, and the hotel sits right on the beach! There may not be much to do/see in the immediate area, but don't let that steer you away. Hotel is worth being a few minutes away from restaurants and sites. It has very easy access to the beach, simply walk out of your room and you are there!!! I suggest asking for a first floor room, makes it much easier. Pool was nice. I was warm for us and was very well kept. Was great since the Gulf was still chilly! read more

Hampton is my preferred choice for hotels. Most are very clean, affordable and the staff is almost always amazing. This one is about 1 out of 3. Staff was decent. For the price I paid for this hotel I expected WAY more. I've stayed in lesser priced Hampton Inns and had triple the quality. If your gonna play in the big leagues with big league prices than get big league standards. read more

The hotel was clean, the rooms were nice and spacious. Sheri at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. Alma did a great job on breakfast and keeping the area clean and her customer service was amazing. The view from our room was amazing and the kids loved that the pool was heated. The biggest things I would change would be that the beds were not very comfortable and there was one lady at the front desk that was not very friendly. We would stay here again. read more

Very nice Hampton in a great setting on the beach. The staff were all very all helpful, particularly Donna, Rebecca, and Ian. Good included breakfast with hot food. We had problems with our heating but the engineering repaired it on a SUNDAY. They staff gave us many ideas on things to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again. read more

The staff at the hotel are amazing and so helpful and friendly! I had an early morning flight out so I would not be able to grab breakfast on the way out. Jane at the front desk made me a little to go baggie for the airport! The location is perfect and right on the beach! Would definitely stay here again. read more

Definitely better than I expected, but still not the best. Location is great. We had a 1st floor room facing the water, but had no view. I do think this hotel needs an update and it's sad how small it is compared to others. Breakfast was great every day & staff was great! All in all, our stay was not terrible but it wasn't what we we used to usually staying at the Best Western Ft Walton Beach. read more

I stayed here at military rate so it was a good price. The room had free Internet, there were always fresh baked peanut butter cookies when I came back in the afternoon, and the complementary breakfast included waffles and omelets. It was right on the water with a balcony over looking the sunset. My one complaint is they only had smoking rooms available, so make sure you specify when you reserve the room. read more

Great place to stay! Older Hampton but remodeled this winter. Staff is very friendly and helpful! The beach was wonderful! Will stay here in the future! read more

LOVED This place!! Here's why: VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY STAFF!! Breakfast is a FULL breakfast (Not continental) Sausages, Potatoes, Eggs, Waffles, Hot and Cold Cereal, Yoghurt, Bagels, Pastries, ect! Beautiful Beach!! Clean - free of trash and nice people at the beach - clean sand! View - GEORGOUS! Get the gulf view - a little more but totally worth it! You can see and hear the waves from your room! The only drawback is that the wireless internet didnt work so great and my husband and I both had to work half a day from the room with it working off and on. Rooms are clean and as pictured! We will stay here again! read more

My room was dirty. The AC didn't work well. Toilet and shower were dirty. No shower curtain or soap in my bathroom. The complimentary breakfast was good, and the staff was working hard to replenish everything. read more

Stayed here using points. Dont stay even if its free. Bad wifi, water rinsing from beach broke. No amenities besides breakfast and you can get that anywhere. The hotel is old and dirty. Stuck here two more nights. wasted points and traveled a long way for this. read more

This hotel was ok, it was not very comfortable in the building due to the high humidity outside the building. The floors were a bit sandy from beach goers, and the rooms felt stuffy and cramped. Perfect for party goers not business travelers. read more

Great location, right on the beach. Very friendly staff, especially Kevin at the front desk! he was a hoot and ALWAYS nice and greeted you each time you entered the property. I left a small bag by mistake and they were very helpful in getting it back to me in a very timely manor. Will defiantly go back...next summer i hope:):) read more

We were in the area for a business trip but extended our stay to spend some time at the beach. Given our last minute booking, we didn't have a lot of options on the beach. Was surprised to learn that the Hampton Inn was located right on the beach! This property was renovated earlier this year and on the inside looks like other Hampton Inns across the country. Its only two stories but each room on the first floor has a patio area and the second floor rooms have balconies. Nicely decorated for this level of hotel and a great breakfast sitting area in the lobby. The staff were very friendly as well. My only complaint was the AC - it was rather inconsistent. Either you were freezing or burning up our room. But...all in all, this was a great place to stay for the price paid. read more

We stayed here recently while visiting my boyfriend's parents and I enjoyed it. The staff was very helpful. We were told they had just undergone a renovation so everything was made more modern and up to the normal hampton inn standards, but it did seem like they were still finishing some renovations while we there. Our room didn't face the beach (I don't know if they have rooms that do, but if so there are only a few) but our room did open to a pathway that wrapped around and led to it. Seeing as how we were there in December, there wasn't a lot beach happening for us anyways! Overall I was very happy with this place and would definitely like to stay here again on our next visit. read more

We stayed here for 4 nights as we were moving to thr area. They were very accomadating to our family needs. If I had family or friends coming into town this would be few places in the area I'd recommend. It has that same Hampton feel as elsewhere but when you walk about the back and see that ocean you can't help but feel happiness inside you! read more

Came to this hotel for a softball tournament. My team and I were rudely awaited on at the front desk daily. The cleaning staff was great, along with the kitchen; the front desk people however, very rude. Our toilets clogged multiple times, and when we called to fix them, we were told to "tend to it ourselves." WiFi is terrible, pool is small and dirty. Nice walk out to beach. read more

Really enjoyed my short stay at this hotel. For starters the front desk staff was exceedingly friendly, which starts off the experience on a good note. My room was super clean, with a nice tv and desk to work on, and a comfortable chair. In addition, there was a deck attached with a couple seats for relaxing. They cover all the bases in terms of wifi/TV/breakfast/workout room, and then of course you're right on the beach. I stayed here for just one night as I was in the area on business, but I hope to be back again for a longer stay when I'm not working. This is a great value for a beachfront hotel and I highly recommend it. read more
