Top Gulf Shores Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Gulf State Park, A Hilton Hotel

The Lodge at Gulf State Park, A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The outside property, room and view was wonderful. We had a street view but there was access to sit on a balcony viewing the beach, which was beautiful. We did not use the 2 large pools but do plan to return to use the pools on another visit. The pier is great with access to the beach. We ate at one of the restaurants which was very nice, food was good and our waitress was great. We have been to the Gulf Shores area several times but have never thought about staying at The Lodge at Gulf State Park but will defiantly return. We were there for a conference and it was a very good choice for the onsite meeting rooms and accommodations."
