The Hampton Inn Ft. Walton Beach is described as a great hotel and a hidden gem with a phenomenal location on the Okaloosa strip. It is the shortest hotel on the strip, which guests find helpful for locating it after a walk on the beautiful beach. The location offers walk-up beach access, with many great eats and seafood spots within walking distance or a short drive. Guests consistently praise the incredible, friendly, and professional staff, noting outstanding service from the front desk to the breakfast and room service teams. The atmosphere is great, and visitors appreciate not feeling nickeled and dimed. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, each featuring a private or semi-private patio, with first-floor patios leading directly to the beach walk-up. A complimentary hot continental breakfast is served, with a tasty and pretty good selection including eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, pancakes, and cereal. Cookies provide a nice afternoon touch. While one room had a significant pest issue, the staff handled the situation with respect, courtesy, and professionalism, quickly changing the room. The hotel is considered a top choice for those on a budget during peak season, offering excellent value with beach access, a good view, and a great overall stay.
Location was great. Room was clean and spacious. Pool was clean. We definitely will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

Incredible staff, from the front desk to room service teams everyone was great! The location was phenomenal, it’s truly a hidden gem amongst all the other hotels. They provide a great atmosphere and you don’t feel nickeled and dimed. I’d stay here over locations in Destin or Pensacola. Thanks for an awesome stay!
