About
Eglin Extended Stay Hotel, a Howard Johnson by Wyndham sits at 101B State Road 85 North in Niceville, sharing a site with the Days Inn by Wyndham Eglin AFB. As the name suggests, it is aimed at longer stays tied to Eglin Air Force Base, which is a short drive south, and Wyndham also highlights Northwest Florida State College and Eglin Golf Course as nearby.
Expedia lists 57 rooms in two two-story buildings. The original structures date to 1988, and the guest rooms were renovated in January 2025. Every room has a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a microwave and a coffee maker, and suites with sofa beds sleep up to five. Accessible rooms with roll-in showers are available.
A free continental breakfast is served daily. Guests can use a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, on-site laundry, a picnic area and an ATM, and parking is free. Pets are allowed for a nightly fee. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, and Wi-Fi is free.
The hotel suits temporary duty, contractors and families relocating to the area who want refrigerator space and laundry on site at a modest rate. Destin Commons, Henderson Beach State Park, Big Kahuna’s and the Gulfarium are all within a reasonable drive for days off. Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport is a few miles away.
