Beachside Resort Hotel
The motel is pretty dated. You sure can’t beat the location though. Ac worked good. Parking was good. Beds were comfy. Semi cleaned daily. Overall good location if the trip is to be at the beach. Good central location.

The Lodge at Gulf State Park, A Hilton Hotel
Returned for our second spring break trip, hotel was as good as we’d remembered. Additional pool and pool lounging area was great. Very relaxing stay.

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gulf Shores Beach Resort
Great overall stay. Only thing I would was subpar is the bed. Other than that it was an awesome stay.

Sleep Inn Orange Beach
Staff was nice but we walked out as soon as we walked in. Ac did not work and blew smelly air when it did blow anything. Entire property inside and out smelled of rotten onions. Didn’t even put bags down in room and had to find a better place. Still paid full price

Best Western Premier The Tides
14$ for your breakfast. Which is included in many hotels. You have to pay for parking. No coffee pot or free coffee. Coffee is 4$ a cup. No safe! Won’t stay again!
