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

Comfy little room.

This room was small but it was big enough for 2. The staff was nice. The room was clean. The sheets and towels smelled clean. It was a great room for the price.

Not Happy

The room was just ok. The A/C started smoking at 3am and that made the smoke alarm go off.After the smoke stopped, the alarm stopped. I didn't want to get up at 3:30 in the morning to go let them know so since the A/C stopped working we went back to sleep. The next morning I went and spoke to the front desk to let them know what happened. I was told that it would be fixed. We went out to enjoy our day and 6 hours later we returned to cool off and to my surprise the room was HOT. No one had come in to even look at it. So we left again and returned later to find the A/C STILL not working so they say we could change rooms. That meant packing up and moving.I think it would of been nice if we would of been offered a discount or to even stay later than out 11am check out time.

Winter Weekend on Gulf Shores

Note, that this trip was in the off season, but the location is very convenient to both Gulf Shores and Foley, ample parking, well lit parking lot, and an excellent staff. Most of all the hotel was clean and affordable, will definitely have this location booked for our next business trip to the area! The rooms are also very nice with long mirrors and a nice foo-ton under the window.

The Hangout on Gulf Shores is under new management but is still awesome. There is a Subway either Highway 59 North or South one is in the Brunos shopping Center to the south, the other 59 North in the Target shopping center. It was easy to find Gluten free food, and all the local restaurants offer a wide variety of entrees.

OK place to stay when you need a bed and a shower

the front desk person was nice there was a security lady which was nice since the back door lock was broken, there was a smell in the room that was tolerable, they did leave breakfast earlier than stated I think it was because a lot of us were there for a race,
