Fairfield Inn & Suites Crestview

Fairfield Inn & Suites Crestview is on Crosson Street, a block off State Road 85 about a mile north of Interstate 10, next door to a Chick-fil-A and close to the Crestview Commons shopping area. The four-story Marriott hotel has 90 rooms and suites.

Breakfast is included every morning, with hot and grab-and-go options, and coffee and tea are set out in the lobby throughout the day. There is an outdoor pool with an accessible lift, a 24-hour fitness center with cardio machines, free weights and yoga gear, a small market for snacks, and a meeting room that seats up to about 50. Self-parking is free. Pets are not permitted, and Marriott Bonvoy members can use a mobile key.

Being north of the interstate puts the hotel within walking or very short driving distance of the Commons stores, grocery options and a wider choice of restaurants than the exit itself. Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport is roughly 18 miles south, Eglin Air Force Base about 25 minutes away, and the Destin beaches around 45 minutes by car.

It is a steady choice for business travelers, visiting families of Eglin and Duke Field personnel, and Marriott loyalists who want to be close to shops and dinner options. Pensacola International Airport is about 45 miles west for travelers who find better flight options there.
