It was a very nice hotel. Rooms are small since it's a Microtel but clean. Even though it was inexpensive, it was still really nice. The hotel smelled good & that's a plus when getting an inexpensive place close to the coast/beach.

This Microtel is reasonably priced and clean enough. Not spotless but certainly not dirty and smelly. Beds are really comfortable, soft yet firm. I can lay here relaxing for hours. Bathroom could definitely use some updating. Breakfast is fair at best, nothing to get all excited over but you will not go hungry. You can find something to eat even if it's just Coffee and a bagel or muffin. The staff is quiet, friendly and attentive. They were hardly noticeable. For the price I can't complain. We have come to Gulf Shores twice 1st stay 2 nights, 2nd stay 4 nights and we are happy we choose to stay here again. The only things I can definitely say negative is the WiFi connection could use upgrades. It goes off line every night. And I have to futz with it. Totally unnecessary in 2023. Also it seems the only housekeeping service is making the bed and replacing clean towels, removing trash. But vacuuming the carpet was undetectable. However we only paid $58.00 a night for a double queen bed room between December 28. 2023 & January 1, 2024. If we choose to visit this area we will stay at this Microtel again for the 3rd time. I have to admit if on the road and I need a clean comfortable and safe place to stay over night, I would choose Microtel again based solely on our two experiences at this location. But every location can and will have to stand on its management merits. Some people need to keep in mind it's a Microtel not a Four Seasons. It's definitely a Price Point Hotel. We stay here so we can spend more money on different things like higher quality restaurants and activities. Rather than high price rooms and then eat at Burger King or Subway.

Size of room was fine but it could have used a bit more cleaning.Breakfast... Pancake maker was a nice change but they need better control over the other options.

Got a second floor room in the back building, somebody was living in the private room and cooked curry and smelled up the whole hallway for the entire week we were there. Our room was moist and damp. The bathroom vent didn’t pull moisture out. There was mold on the bathroom doorway and sink. The light above the couch only one side worked. The shower curtain wasn’t long enough which caused water to get all over the floor, along with that the shower dripped. The sink had way too much water pressure and shot water everywhere. The carpets were moist and gross, looked like they didn’t get cleaned in a while. The air conditioner worked fine, then they cleaned it and smelled our whole room up with must. Our clothes were moist and stunk horribly, it got so bad we had to buy air fresheners and fabreeze fabric spray for our clothes. We never got our sheets changed and only got new towels 2x and we were supposed to get new ones everyday. They never came and got our trash, and when they did they took our plates and silverware off the counter and threw them away. Overall would not stay at this hotel again. Great location though.

We have stayed here before and were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the free breakfast was delicious. It was a short drive to Gulf shores and I will stay there again.

The location and price of the rooms are great. But, everything is kind of damp and the halls smell like mildew. There's a nice continental style breakfast. The pool is kind of small. But the staff has been nice and helpful. If you don't plan on spending a lot of time at the hotel, I'd recommend. It serves its purpose.

Stayed there for 3 nights. Rooms were clean! Room smelled fresh. Front desk was great. Very friendly!! The only improvement I would suggest is to clean the carpets. It didn’t give us Walmart feet or anything (lol) but looked like it could use a nice refresher cleaning. Close to everything. We will definitely stay there again!!Rooms: The rooms were soooo clean. Bathroom was great. No hairs or anything!! Lol

The honey and I stayed there this weekend, and it was a very good stay. The room was clean, and the service was excellent. Tevoy was the CSR at the counter, and he was extremely nice. The other gentleman there showed us our room and made sure we were happy and comfortable with our accommodations. The hotel is LITERALLY directly down the street from the beach... less than 10 minutes. I would definitely stay again. Enjoy your stay.

Everything was wrong with the room. The room smells like wet carpet. The wifi wouldn't work. The bedding had stains on it. The shower was clogged up and wouldn't drain properly. The toilet seat was stained up. Also, the coffee pot was missing pieces, and I couldn't make a pot of coffee. There was not a phone in the room to contact the front desk.Booked for a 3 night stay, only stayed 1 night, and left the next morning at sunrise. The hotel is in need of deep cleaning.

Friendly staff, but they couldn't get the TV to work and didn't offer and help. Room was clean but smelled moist. Pillows were lumpy. Queen bed was likely a full. Nice sized room with kitchenette and living space.Nearby activities: Owa, airport, shopping, restaurants

Well I ended up very pleased.. but We were very disappointed when we arrived.. we had a room at the end that you could barely turn around in.. mold on the ceiling, damp wet air and linens.. then the sink didnt drain, only one of us could brush our teeth. I was saddened that they would rent that room to anyone..rm 108. Asked desk if we could be changed and had to check back in the morning. The lady changed our room immediately after they cleaned without any problems to a double room.rm228 That room was clean and fresh and kept the room filled with coffee. My review was going to be a 1 star but I was so happy with the accommodations and friendliness We stayed 4nights. Pool was small but clean and the environment was good, family and vacationers. Breakfast had a few good options but not your usual eggs bacon and stuff like that. Coffee cereal milk juice jimmydean take homes bagels toast and pancakes.

Pros: The room is clean, and the linens are fresh and plentiful. Pool is a hood size. Staff was very nice and helpful.Cons: Plan to get breakfast elsewhere. The carpet and mattresses have seen better days.An okay stay for 1-2 nights.

I am glad I only needed to stay here for 1 night. Hard to find at night due to an unmarked, not lit at all main entrance road from the Parkway. The elevators weren’t working so we had to carry everything up the stairs. Room smelled a little musty, as many other reviews state. Upon leaving and making sure we weren’t forgetting anything, we found the bed box spring full of mold. Spend the extra couple of dollars to stay somewhere a little nicer.

Couldn’t use pool during first night because it was crowded with a party. They were loud with music blaring. Reported to management. Rooms need updating. Counter in bathroom was broken and had to be glued together. Tile floor was nasty. Don’t believe the pictures on the website.
