Room was very clean! AC worked great as my family enjoys the cold. Pool was clean and so was the facility around the pool. Gym was sanitized & great addition! The breakfast was amazing! Beds were soft & comfortable. Great location being so close to everything Gulf Shores has to offer!

After 7.5 hours in the car with four kids - we couldn’t wait to get them in the pool to burn off some energy. What a disappointment that the pool was closed. My towels were stained with what I hope was makeup and not something else. The front desk staff was kind. The breakfast was good.

The room I had booked which was 2 queens & a couch(pull out bed) was amazing it was big enough for the 3 kids and 3 adults . The pool wasn’t as big as I thought it would be it is on the smaller side other than that no complaints would stay again!

My family of four made a quick trip to the beach and decided to stay here. The room was smaller than I thought . The pictures that I looked at were marked "regular double room" under the description and showed a sofa and 2 TV's. I assume the picture was for a suite because we only had 1 TV and no sofa so we were running out of room and fighting over TV. I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was no ironing board in our room to iron the clothes I have packed and I was told that it was broke. I was offered to take it to my room to use but had to bring it back to desk to send for repairs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and my sons want to go back.

Good location, near where we needed to be for an event. Close to the beach. Nice, safe area. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and breakfast had a nice variety.
