Great affordable option in Gulf Shores
Jim at the front desk did an excellent job of welcoming us and making sure every need was taken care of. He is a real asset to this company. The breakfast food was decent. I was a bit disappointed that the juice machine didn't work, but they did have a jug of orange juice. The room was clean & quiet, and the bed was oh, so comfortable! Super close to the beach too!

Amazing Staff
We landed here for a night after our condo we had previously booked fell through. The hotel staff was amazing and very helpful. Unfortunately the elevators and ice machines in the hotel were not working. Over all it was a very pleasant stay and the breakfast was great.

Legs already tired.
Everything was normal once I arrived. Check-in was amazing. Friendly staff. Once I got back to the hotel the elevator was broken. It was an unexpected situation. Staff said they didn't know when it would be fixed.

The hotel was in a convenient location and our room was excellent. The property was not well maintained. There wasn't an ice machine on our floor and one of the two elevators wasn't working. The front entrance needed pressure washed.

The staff was great and very accommodating and the location great because it was easy to access restaurants, beach, and many other attractions. The property was in horrible conditions with the carpets mold smells, the floors dirty, and elevator only working barely and the other broken.
