The view was great. Check in was easy nice location, shopping and dining within walking distance. The room was decent. The master bed was very firm. It was fairly quiet, except for the doors slam pretty loudly. not much of a pool and no hot tub. As far as the price seemed a little high compared to others with more amenities.

Our favorite is sitting on the balcony watching the waves and listening to the beach sounds. The balcony was perfect for that! There was a small town feel to Gulf Shores and we liked that we could walk to the places we visited. The food was super and we had a great time!

The room could use more hand soap we didn’t have any for the kitchen sink, in the floor in the kitchen had food beside the cabinet (bread). The switch for the ice machine was broke so we couldn’t cut it off so it falls out of the ice bin. The full bathroom could use the walls to be wiped down.

Great until time to checkout!!

Elevators are very very slow. Waited 10-25 minutes. I ask for a late checkout (11:00) with no problem. But the code to the door stopped working at 5 minutes till 10. ( regular check out) had to go down 9 flights of stairs back to the office to get a new code because they would not give it to me over the phone. Then climb up 9 flights of stairs because I waited 20 minutes for elevator and it still didn’t come. Check out is terrible because of the elevators. Beach is nice, close to restaurants and souvenir shops. A lot of attractions around condo!!
