TownePlace Suites by Marriott Miramar Beach Destin

We were among the first guests after this location’s renovation and re-opening and wanted to share a detailed review for future travelers. Hotel Spaces: 5/5 Everything has been updated with a fresh, modern look. The spacious lobby offers plenty of hangout areas, clean hallways/elevators, a market near the front desk, and water-bottle refill stations on every floor. Gym: 5/5 Surprisingly well-equipped: multiple cardio machines (bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, stairclimbers), two benches, dumbbells (5–50 lbs), and even a lat pulldown machine. Added perks include two large TVs, plug-in headphones, fresh towels, and sanitizing wipes. Pool: 4/5 Decent-sized (possibly saltwater?) pool with loungers in an extended shallow area and some seating. Limited chairs and only one umbrella table. Music played through four large speakers was a bit loud in my opinion. Breakfast: 2–3/5 This was the weakest point. As vegetarians, hot options were very limited—only egg/bacon dishes our first day. Later days had plain scrambled eggs, but fruit was only apples. Bagels were basic, no waffle maker (just pre-made waffles one day, overcooked). Standard yogurts, cereals, oatmeal, juice, and coffee were available. Room: 4/5 Rooms matched modern Towneplace standards: spacious, with USB/USB-C charging, TV streaming, and a small kitchen with soap, sponge, and dishwasher tabs. Downsides: no in-room silverware, plates, or bowls (though available at breakfast area), not the strongest shower pressure, reversed hot/cold controls, and sheets felt a bit stiff. Location: 5/5 Excellent—just a 5–7 minute walk to public white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Positioned near a main intersection at the edge of Miramar and Sandestin, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and sidewalks for morning walks or jogs. Overall: 4/5 Despite the few downsides, we were very happy with our stay. Staff were excellent and friendly, the facilities modern, and the location hard to beat. We would gladly stay here again.

We checked in and the room smelled musty. Bathroom floor was sticky, overall it wasn’t a bad experience until we woke up. My wife and I found baby and juvenile German roaches crawling all throughout our room. Under our clothes on top of the TV everywhere. When I went to the front of the front desk I was told that they’re very sorry, that they get pest treatments regularly. When asked for a refund or discount I was told sorry we can’t help you(this is after showing them the video of all the roaches)
