SpringHill Suites by Marriott Navarre Beach
Hot tub and pool closed for renovation. Nice big room, but no tissues and coffee for only one. Had to add another day due to illness, and they were very helpful, even finding a discount on the extra day. Snack shop hasn’t been open. Lovely view. Really like the large room, nice shower.
