Quality Inn At Eglin AFB

First off, this was more of a «STAYcation». I just felt like getting my kids out of the house for the night and drove about 1 hour to get here. The front desk clerk, Shelby, was super friendly and helped me get my room booked. I was even dumb enough that I booked for 2 weeks later and she was easily able to move it to tonight since they weren’t booked…
The room shocked me… In a GOOD way… Much nicer than I expected, felt like it should have been a $ 125 room a night instead of what I paid… Room smelled nice and everything was supper clean. The TV had 2 hdmi ports and my kids easily connected their Xbox one to it. (There is a trick to connect an Xbox one to their wifi but you need to google it– «how to connect your Xbox one to a hotel wireless network»). Deals with manually entering an an alternate MAC address, pretty easy.
The jacuzzi/​hot tub was out of order but the pool was clean and open. Only my daughter braved the cold temps in January but she had fun for… 3 minutes!
Looking forward to their hot breakfast here. Great to know its included and their is an awesome church next door called «Generations United» that starts church at 10am on Sunday we are going to check out.
Would highly recommend this hotel!

Cheap, but definitely room for improvement. Typically, I don’t ask for a lot for hotels when I’m on a budget, but I do like a comfortable bed and hot shower. We had a semi-​comfortable bed (I can sleep pretty much anywhere) and a hot shower for part of the time we were there. The hot water went out twice. They did offer to let us switch rooms, but one, that’d been an inconvenience, and two, how do we know we wouldn’t have faced the same problem? The staff, while pleasant, didn’t have a lot of compassion.
The exercise room had a treadmill, weight machine, and elliptical. Wasn’t the greatest equipment, but was adequate and the TV worked. I didn’t use the pool or hot tub, but the hot tub was working.
Things in their favor: onsite laundry, $ 1 a load for wash and the free breakfast wasn’t too bad. They had make your own Belgian waffles, biscuits and gravy, yogurt, juices, bagels, and pastries. Other than that, I wouldn’t immediately choose this hotel. They weren’t busy at all and I’m not sure they ever are, but in case you’re passing through, this is good for maybe a night or two to save money.

A dump. Haven’t been jere in many years. A friend asked to meet here and we picked this hotel because it was close to an event. The room smelled of mold or mildew. The overall cleanliness was disgusting. The matresses were sagging in middle and very uncomfortable. Run don’t walk.
