Rooms with a view: Beachfront lodging in Gulf Shores, Ala.
As the only major chain hotel on the Gulf Shores coast, Best Western on the Beach lets guests stay by the water without blowing their vacation budget. The AAA Two Diamond retreat overlooks the Gulf of Mexico from the edge of a white-sand beach, and offers rooms with street or ocean views (all come with private balconies). Guests can rent beach chairs and umbrellas during the warmer months, and the indoor heated pool stays open year-round. Gulf waters aside, other nearby attractions include Waterville U.S.A., Sunland Amusement Park and Lake Shelby.BEST WESTERN on the Beach Rooms

Whow! A great experience at Gulf Shores Alabama.
We stayed at the Best Western on the Beach at Gulf Shores, Alabama. We had a room with a balcony facing the white sand beach and incredably clean water. I was so impressed having heard all the horror stories about the Oil Spill. Our room and hotel were older, but very clean. The staff were delightful and the food was great at the Pancake House on site. There were lots of shopping and eat joints within walking distance. Our car made everything accessable including Historic Forts, Homes and Antique Shops to Water Slides and the Little Zoo That Could from Animal Planet. Great vacation for a great price! We'll be back.

Not Applicable
Order information from the Chamber of Commerce at least 2 weeks before you plan to book your trip. This gives you ideas of the things you'd like to do. After you have a general idea of what you'd like to spend your vaction doing, THEN book your flight, hotel and car at least 2 months ahead of your vacation to get the best deal.

Fun Birthday Stay
IT was really perfect for just a weekend stay. I loved being able to get coffee at the Pancake house at no charge (a big surprize!!) and having the kichenette was GREAT!! loved being able to walk to the shops and little eating places on the beach!! The staff at the front desk were nice but not anything out of the ordinary but the staff at the Pancake house and the cleaning crew were very sweet.

Gulf Shores Trip
My husband and I rarely get out of town and this was such a great trip! We loved being right on the beach. The Island Pancake house was a bit over priced in our opinion. $40.00 for breakfast is a bit much. they did allow us to share a breakfast and the pancakes were great. My husbad wants to come back. So convinenent to everything. We walked everywhere ! We will go back. Thanks Sandy Campbell

Christmas Vacation
Me and my husband had a great stay here. The hotel location was great and our view was great. Even though the weather was cooler during our stay, we still enjoyed ourselves. We love that the hotel has a small kitchen and a balcany. Wanted to swim in the pool and jaccuzi but we would have to walk outside to get to it in the other buidling and it was cold.

Great time in Gulf Shores Alabama!
We stayed there for the Buffett concert. Great location and the beach was great and the water was wonderful. Beautiful!!! The hotel charged us again for the room after we prepaid online. We realized this after getting home. We had to call them and they said it would take several days to issue the credit. They actually charged us less and it was also less than the price they quoted when we called them direct!! Strange.

A big surprise
My wife and I were planning to cook our thanksgiving diner at the hotel,what a surprise ,no stove,no pots,no pans,nothing to eat or cook with. My understanding of a kitchenette is to be furnished with the above. We had plans to stay 4 nights, we stayed 1,and left at 5:30 am the next morning. The staff was really nice and helpful, it was just not what we expected.
