Let’s start with the mattress which was literally concaved and noticeably. The hotel staff was a toss up. If you could get the girl off her phone she was pretty nice. There wasn’t any breakfast and we had to ask for coffee in the morning and that totally put one staffer out. It was almost 7. Come on! The back side of the hotel was total sketch and there were cops there every night. This is the last thing I will say: I spilled something on the floor and had to grab to hand towel to wipe it up. The fluid was clear. The rag turned black. They hadn’t mopped the floor. Totally disgusted. Do not stay here. Stay up in Foley or down by the beach. It may be a little cheaper but not worth it.

For the price point...

It was okay, the rooms were cheap. However, we did spot a lot of black stains on the mattress. We were given another room so we were thankful. There seemed to be a raid at some point. There were also people doing laundry on the balcony. Whole experience was a little scary for our family.

I did very much appreciate the Desk clerk when I checked in, ask did I won’t Upper level or Bottom (Bad knees) the room very cool when we arrived ,that was nice didn’t have to wait for it to cool down. There were some issues however. , The Bathtub would not drain properly, After taking a Shower the bathtub remained half full of water ,for atleast 15 minutes before draining completely,that was inconvenient when there was three of us needing to shower, And the Floor was disgustingly! I had to Literally Throw the Socks my five year old Granddaughter had on away ,They were So Nasty ! I wiped across the floor with a wash cloth , and left it on the counter to Show the Nastiness , also I mentioned it to the desk clerk When checking Out .. Rates were Good ,Just needs to Focus on Cleaness

NO HOT WATER!!!!

Arrived and checked in with no problem. Went to eat and when returned to get cleaned up before bed realized there was no HOT WATER, and outside temp was in lower 30's. Went to front desk and was told they were replacing hot water heater and no rooms had hot water, and would be replaced by next day. They should have informed us before checking in. Next day hot water in morning, but evening was just luke warm water and was told boilers were not large enough to serve all rooms. Never appoligized for lack of hot water and would not credit any of the night stays. I've stayed here the last 3 years while visiting Gulf Shores and no problems until this year. Upon check out was told could not print off receipt until I basically got irate with them then said oh here is tab to print your receipt. Can NOT recommend this motel any longer, will stay elsewhere next year.
