Bottom Line

Located on the highway right by Destin Harbor, Motel 6 Destin is a value chain hotel close to plenty of restaurants and a short drive to the beach. There’s no free breakfast at the hotel and only few amenities, including an outdoor pool with lounge chairs and a small laundry room. The 131 rooms have been updated with cheery lime green paint and parquet wood floors, but toiletries are limited to soap, some guests complain of cleanliness issues, and there’s a fee for Wi-Fi. Travelers might want to compare rates with Destin Inn & Suites, a value motel offering free breakfast and Wi-Fi.

Oyster Hotel Review

Motel 6 Destin

Scene

Budget chain motel with simple and basic interiors

The Motel 6 Destin is housed in a white two-story building with sky-blue doors, outdoor stairs, and exposed hallways with metal rails. This basic value property has simple interiors; the small, functional lobby has tile floors, peach accent walls, sparse seating, and a front desk covered in a sign announcing the chain’s signature slogan, “We’ll leave the light on for you.” Outside, the property is surrounded by a large parking lot decorated with some palm trees. The outdoor pool has a concrete sundeck lined with lounge chairs and round tables with red umbrellas, though views are lackluster as it overlooks the parking lot and hotels across the road.

Location

Situated on highway across from Destin Harbor

The hotel is located in Destin’s Harbor District right on Harbor Boulevard (Highway 98) and across from the harbor where guests can find water sport rentals and waterfront restaurants. There’s a tattoo shop and souvenir store next to the hotel, and it’s around a 12-minute walk to Harborwalk Village, a waterfront shopping center with restaurants and stores. Henderson State Park is less than a 10-minute drive, and Destin- Fort Walton Beach Airport is around a half-hour drive.

Rooms

Modern rooms with parquet wood floors and flat-screen TVs

Rooms at Motel 6 Destin are simple and modern, with lime green accent walls and matching bed runners. Guests complain the parquet wood floors need to be cleaned better. All rooms have wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, but there’s a fee for Wi-Fi. Bathrooms have bright yellow cabinets or towel holders and shower/tub combinations, but only hand soap is provided. Rooms with kitchenettes are available with small refrigerators, electric ranges, microwaves, and coffee makers, but no cookware is provided, so guests should bring their own if they plan on cooking.
