About
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Walton Beach-Eglin AFB sits at 843 Eglin Parkway NE, on the main road between downtown Fort Walton Beach and Shalimar, a direct drive to Eglin Air Force Base. Marriott notes views toward Choctawhatchee Bay from the patio areas, and the fitness center also has a water view.
HotelPlanner lists 112 suites on four floors, all with full kitchens, making this one of the larger extended-stay options in the city. Interior corridors and a layout built for longer stays suit military relocations, temporary duty and contractors working on base. The property was last renovated in 2014, according to HotelPlanner.
A free hot breakfast is served daily. The outdoor saltwater pool is heated, the fitness center is open 24 hours and Wi-Fi and on-site parking are complimentary. Up to two pets are welcome for a non-refundable fee. Breakfast runs from 6 to 9 am on weekdays and 7 to 10 am on weekends.
Beyond the base, the hotel is convenient for the Air Force Armament Museum, the Indian Temple Mound Museum and shopping along Eglin Parkway, and Okaloosa Island, the Gulfarium and Destin Commons are an easy drive. It is a solid pick for anyone who wants a kitchen and room to spread out without being on the busy beach strip. For a beach afternoon, Okaloosa Island is a short drive south.
