Not often explicitly mentioned; impressions suggest good value for a central Gulf Shores location and several guests called the property a 'hidden gem.'

Breakfast received many compliments overall, though some noted limited protein variety, an undercooked sausage instance and an unexpected lemon on potatoes one day.

Pros:

Breakfast was great. Room was nice. Bathroom "barn door" needs fixing -- will not stay closed (I would highly recommend that it be replaced with a regular door that has a lock). Water pressure was great. Glad to see some remodeling work is being done. There are areas in the hotel that do need a little updating.

It was okay.
Pros:

The bed is very comfortable.

Cons:

I had to ask the clerk to get the bathroom cleaned for us. The shower had mold, and the toilet had black rings. They called the maid to clean it. The maid didn't get it all.

Relaxing beach stay
Pros:

The breakfast was nice and the location is just a mile from the beach. It was a great way to save on parking while getting some exercise . The pool was also nice when you didn’t want to bake at the beach. I really enjoyed the personal touch of having my name on the tv when I entered the room.

Cons:

Not really a complaint, but breakfast protein mixes would be great. It was primarily sausage bacon one day would have been nice. One day the potatoes had lemon on them. It might be a beach thing but I wasn’t expecting it and it woke me up quick as it was my first bite of the day.
