Everyone was really nice. The rooms were very clean and so was the entire hotel. Only problem was with the tub there should have been something on the floor of the tub because it had an incline and it was hard to not slip. Told the management when we checked out and was sent a very nice email saying they... More

We made reservations for three nights. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to illness. We cancelled in advance of our reservations. We have been charged for all three nights. We have called the manager three times and he/she has not returned our calls. Things happen in life and obviously greed is what they represent in Gulf Shores. We have never... More

The gentleman that checked us in (I think his name was Mark- bearded gentleman) was pleasant, fast and very friendly. He definitely... More

We were greeted by friendly staff, who promptly checked us in. The elevators were quiet and very smooth, which is a big plus for someone, like me, who hates them. The rooms were clean, and smelled great. They were spacious enough, and had a refrigerator and microwave in there, which came in handy. The bath had hot water, only down... More

We stayed here for a group golf trip during spring break time. I was a big nervous about the timing, but as I didn't choose it, decided to just see what happened. It turned out very nice - even though the hotel was crowded with kids, families, teenagers, etc. we were not bothered by it. Housekeeping kept up very well... More
