My stay at the hotel was surprisingly impressive. The rooms were immaculate and well laid out, which is crucial for someone like me who values cleanliness in hotels. The service was outstanding, with extremely friendly staff willing to go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. The location, although requiring a short drive to reach popular spots, was convenient for my visit. The dining options were sufficient but could offer more variety. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had a typical odor, but the lack of a microwave oven was surprising. The service was outstanding and made me feel at home with the friendly staff, though there was a slight confusion over tipping. The location was convenient, allowing me to escape the crowds but also be close enough to join them when desired. The dining was average, offering a variety of breakfast options in brown bags, yet the potential for a cooked meal was missed. The price was reasonable overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with 2 comfortable queen beds and a large separate sitting area, although a bit noisy at times due to performances in the backyard. The location was convenient for our purposes but required a drive to get to nicer areas and beaches. The service was friendly but could pay more attention to guests' requests. The dining experience was average with a decent selection for breakfast. Overall, a decent choice if you don't mind the noise and location.

The hotel is conveniently located near Eglin AFB and not too far from Fort Walton Beach and Hurlburt Field. The rooms feature 2 comfortable queen beds with a large separate sitting area, offering spacious and modern accommodations. The service exceeds expectations every time in Shalimar at the Fairfield Inn, but the dining options could be more varied. Despite a so-so location requiring a drive to reach nice areas, the price makes up for it, and the hotel is close to restaurants and bars.

My stay at the hotel was really lovely. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, equipped with everything you could need like a refrigerator, microwave, and wifi. Although not very spacious, they were adequate for what I booked. The service provided by the staff was wonderful; they were all very friendly and eager to help with extra towels, condiments for breakfast, and recommendations for nearby places to eat. However, they could pay more attention to notes guests leave for them. The location, although not very close to the main attractions, was quiet, restful, and convenient to Eglin AFB and other nearby places of interest. The dining experience was okay, with a typical selection including eggs, meat options, cereals, waffles, and pastries. The facilities, including dry cleaning, shops, laundry, and commercial services, were all in good order. Overall, a good stay with minor room for improvement.
