I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated right near the beach and close to all the attractions in Gulf Shores. The rooms were nice and clean, and I appreciated the comfortable king-size bed adorned with rose petals. However, I faced some issues with the service when my reservation couldn't be found, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it’s a great spot for a beach getaway, but some service aspects could use improvement.

The hotel has a fantastic location, close to all the tourist attractions in the Gulf Shores area and near several restaurants. The rooms are nicely done with rose petals, which made for a romantic touch, but the service was a bit lacking, especially when they couldn't find my reservation. Overall, it offers good value for money, but I did find some aspects lacking, particularly in the service department.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right on the beach and close to numerous restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, although I was a bit disappointed with the limited breakfast options. The pool area was a highlight for me, very inviting and well-kept. Overall, it’s great value for money, though it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included rather than an extra charge.

The rooms were modern and spacious, and the staff was friendly, although they were a bit overwhelmed during check-in. The breakfast was really nice but could use a bit more variety.
