This was a pre-Snowbird trip to check out the Destin area for future trips. The Wingate was in a good location for a base camp for four nights. It sits back off busy Hwy 98 but the side street also allows a back access to the shopping/restaurant area to the west. Everybody from the front desk personnel to housekeeping to... More

Nice clean Motel. A long block to 4 lane (Hwy 98), must drive to all restaurants and beach. Newish with typical Wyndam posh.Room was normal, desk was useful, free Wifi in room, had a problem with door locking, it was fixed rather quickly. Night desk guy (Joe) was so overly pleasant and proffessional I asked if he was a trainee... More

Great place to stay in Destin. Very clean. Most of the staff is very friendly and professional with the exception of the man working night audit.

If that's all I have to complain about... Then I say 3.5 stars.. It's very Clean. The staff helpful and friendly. Looking forward to next... More

We got in late at night and they didn't have any regular rooms available and so gave us a larger room at no extra cost. Staff was very pleasant and the breakfast was wonderful...very nice breakfast room. Quiet and off the main drag of Destin....loved not staying on the main road. A big water park was within walking distance. Pool... More
