"The condo provided was fantastic! It was clean and in great condition, almost everything worked very well (one of the TV remotes didn't work, but it was a non-issue since we didn't care to watch TV there), and the view of the beach was amazing! It's in a very pedestrian friendly area, too. The staff were also very polite and professional. We were able to receive and return our key without any issues. I can definitely picture coming back here again next year!"

Top Alabama Coastal Birding Trail Hotel Reviews

Best Western On The Beach

8/10 Good

"oooooooo"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gulf Shores Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was truly perfect! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, all of the amenities were fantastic, and our room was clean and comfortable. The only negative I have was the elevators. During our stay, 2 of them were down almost our whole week which made it very difficult considering how large the resort is."

Courtyard by Marriott Gulf Shores Craft Farms

10/10 Excellent

"Very professional and friendly staff. Good dinner specials and a great location"

Comfort Inn & Suites Gulf Shores East Beach near Gulf State Park

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing, location was great, hotel room we had was pretty big & what made it feel maybe larger was the lack of interior amenities such as a table to fill the voided space. Couch was difficult to sit on due to the lack of comfort. Bathroom needed some love as far as touch ups. Water pressure was great. Exhaust fan was non existent in the bathroom. Many light switches inside the room didn't work. TV options were very limited, couldn't even log into my personal streaming services which would've been great. Beds were very comfortable. Didn't utilize the balcony due to the winds but it looked nice. In all I would stay here again"

Quality Inn Gulf Shores Airport

10/10 Excellent

The Cabins at Gulf State Park

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the cabins in the park. The cabin was updated, clean and comfortable. Loved the trails and rode our bikes quite a bit. Took advantage of the guided hike (more like a stroll) but learned a lot and enjoyed it. The restaurant in the park is also good and convenient. Would book again."
