The breakfast option is extremely basic; bagels, mini sausage packs and breakfast juices. The front desk attendant was nice and the property team; maintenance and housekeeping were also great. I appreciated the on-sight parking and the beach access. The pool was small but manageable. We came for the beach and certainly enjoyed that aspect of our trip.

This property definitely didn’t match up to its photos. We actually can’t attest to the staffing because I didn’t stay there. I pulled up, drove around and decided to just “lose what we paid for the room” since it was too late to cancel. Just didn’t feel safe staying there.

The property was small but very well kept , the beach area was great, do beautiful , clean and just a walk around the nice pool area and you were there. It was also walking distance to most of the areas of interest. The staff however was amazing!! They went above and beyond to make aure we had what we needed. The desk clerk that worked July 24 th and 25 th was the nicest person I have ever met!

I have stayed at Desoto Beach hotel several times & each time they have had plumbing/ drainage issues. This time I notice a sewer smell in the room & there was sewer waste ( what appeared to be Feces) bubbling up in the sink. Room service only came 1 time during our 4 day stay. Parking is very limited & the hotel desperately needs an update.

Location is everything with this stay

There is not of extras that you see at most hotels (Free breakfast, restaurant, no elevators, did not see any vendor machine). The best part of the stay is the location. You are across from the beach. Good restaurants and stores in walking distance of the hotel. The people was nice, you have to request cleaning service or they will not clean your room. Overall it was a good stay. The hotel was very clean.

I normally don't post reviews but I just felt the need to share this particular one. Our very first day of our vacation we checked in and as soon as I walked into the bathroom I noticed it had not been properly cleaned. There was hair and sand still at the bottom of the tub and on the shower wall it self, I put in a request for cleaning and was told that no one would be in to clean until the morning. The service guy was nice on the phone, said he tried to find another room to move us to but the hotel was “too full”. I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself. The next morning they didn't make up our room until 12pm. At that point I just gave up and decided to clean my own room which I shouldn't have but I rather have a clean room than not at all. I want and purchased some items to do so. I will not be staying here again because I just feel like everything there was so outdated and if you didn't stay in the balcony suites you don't get the same amount of cleanliness and service. I stayed for 3days - 4 nights. Room was only “made up” once my whole stay. Little to no amenities. Room was ok nothing special. Carpeted floors which made everything feel less clean. But other than that beach was only a few steps away, staff was friendly.
