Freshly renovated rooms and free breakfast in Gulf Shores
Fresh off a 2008 renovation, Microtel Inn And Suites Gulf Shores offers rooms for surprisingly low rates. Its Highway 59 location makes a convenient stopover for road-trippers (Interstates 10 and 65 are both accessible). And with the beach 3.5 miles away and numerous restaurants and attractions close by, the hotel also beckons for longer stays. Guests might, for example, go deep-sea fishing one day, and explore the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo the next. This property also has a few draws of its own -- namely, an on-site fitness center and an outdoor pool.
Highlights
  • All rooms and suites renovated in 2008
  • Complimentary continental breakfast and 24-hour coffee service
  • Fitness center and outdoor pool
  • Three-and-a-half miles from the beach

Rooms

Features
Microtel Inn And Suites Gulf Shores serves free continental breakfast every morning and complimentary coffee around the clock.

last minute wedding plans

We had read some negative reviews so we were a little leery when we first arrived.The hotel turned out to be satisfactory, thankfully. It was not fancy or plush but we didn't pay for fancy and plush. It was not squeaky clean but not filthy either. We actually checked for bed bugs, etc. because of the previously mentioned reviews. We had not asked about pet policy before booking but thought we remembered that they were pet accepting. When we told them we had pets, it was just a $25 pet fee., which was lower than any others we had come across.

Expected more

I understand the "Excuse our renovation" but this place needed more than renovation. Our room smelled like mildew/mold. The two nights we stayed here yes our bed was made and clean washcloths put in bathroom but ice bucket full of water from ice we put in from the first night was never dumped and a new plastic bag for ice put in we had water from the ice all over the tray,our room never vacuumed and our bathroom sink was never cleaned. Hope all the Microtel Inns are not like this one or we will not ever stay again. We will pay the extra and stay at a cleaner place.

Needs that special something

The hotel was adequate as was the staff. Hotel was under rennovation in the building we stayed. Hotel room was really cramped with a queen bed in middle and about 2 -3 feet on the 3 sides. Towels laying outside doors in am and still there in pm. Staff was not knowledgeable about area. We noticed several hotels in area that were (from the outside) better value.

expected much better

The only positive thing I can say about this hotel is that it was close to the beach in the staff was very friendly. The room was very small and there were no elevators so we had carry stuff upstairs. There was also a very weird smell throughout the entire hotel. Also the only thing housekeeping did was give us new towels. Overall I felt like I was in a much cheaper hotel than I was.

Family Vacation

We arrived at the hotel very late at night. The room was very smelly and run down. I immediately checked out the next morning and requested a refund. This definitely needs a downgrade.

Nice week away

The hotel is being painted, but that didn't take away from my stay. Continental breakfast was served in the main building which was fine except for when it rained. Loved the guest laundry. Room was big and clean

Unbelievable!!

The location was very nice. The room was roach infested.. There were pop bottles left under the bed as well. The bedding was molded and there was mold and mildew on the walls. Basically it sucked. I would absolutely NOT stay there again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone that I know. The inside is not as it appears on the photos online.

Everything is close by, but the rooms are in desperate need of renovation.
