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.

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.
Features
Outdoor pool, vending machines, and laundry room, but Wi-Fi incurs a fee
The motel offers few amenities and its sparse facilities include an outdoor pool surrounded by a sundeck lined with lounge chairs and umbrella-shaded tables. There are an ice machine and vending machines selling sodas and
snacks as well as a small laundry room with coin-operated machines. Breakfast is not provided and there is no restaurant on-site, but free coffee is available in the morning. Parking is free, and the hotel is pet friendly. Wi-Fi incurs an extra fee.
