Upon arrival, I was greeted with a smile and kindness. Easy check in process. The perfect stay for families. 5 mins away from Target. Slim Chicken is a 1 minute walk from the hotel. 8 minutes away from the Okaloosa Pier. Breakfast was well seasoned and plenty of variety. I loved the Hot Cakes machine. Check out was easy.
