Hampton Inn Crestview South I-10

Hampton Inn Crestview South I-10 sits on John King Road, a short side street just south of Interstate 10 at Exit 56, where State Road 85 runs north into Crestview and south toward Eglin Air Force Base, Niceville and the bay. The four-story hotel opened in 2017 and has 80 rooms, a mix of king rooms with sofa beds and rooms with two queen beds, including hearing-accessible options.

The daily hot breakfast is included, and there is an outdoor pool, a fitness center and a small meeting room for groups. Parking is free on site, and the lot has electric vehicle charging stations. Pets are welcome in designated rooms, up to two per room, with a fee. Hilton Honors members can use a digital key to skip the front desk, and connecting rooms and cribs are available for families.

The exit is lined with chain restaurants and fuel stops, several within walking distance, and Crestview Commons shopping is about a mile north. Blackwater Golf Club is roughly five miles away, the Emerald Coast Zoo about eleven, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport around eighteen miles south. The Destin beaches are a drive of roughly 45 minutes.

The hotel suits road trippers breaking up an I-10 drive, families visiting service members at Duke Field or Eglin, and anyone who wants a quieter inland base with easy highway access to the coast.
