We stayed at Microtel while in town for a wedding. Our nonsmoking room was very clean and smelled fresh, a/c worked fine. This place isn't fancy but we didn't pay for fancy. The beds were very comfortable. The public lobby areas could be cleaner and less smokey. Apparently a lot of people smoke right by the doors. We will stay... More

My husband and I stayed at the Microtel in Gulf Shores on 59 this past weekend for our annual Easter beach trip, a three-night stay. For what we paid, we got exactly what we expected: a queen bed, a bathroom, and a window seat. It's smaller than most hotel rooms, yes, but that's where the "Micro" comes into play. The... More

We arrived here on March 4th, 2012 and stayed for one week. The reason we chose this motel was because it was centrally located from our friends in the area. This was a real disappointment, as we have stayed at two other Microtel Inns in the last several years and were always happy with them. Our room looked like they... More

This hotel was gross. Stairwells smell like homeless people. Room was not clean. Hair in the bathroom, toothpaste in the sink. Room smelled bad. Carpet was torn. A/C did not work well at all. More

Stayed her for a night and the room was okay for they price I paid. There was a long black hair on the clean towels, ewww.... Also, that night me and my husband could hear people stomping and arguing down the hall and dogs barking. Breakfast wasnt too bad, just the regular packaged breakfast foods. I would stay here again... More

Fairly new, very clean property. Staff is very helpful and attentive to special requests. Rooms are very quiet and comfortable, a bit small but not cramped; you wouldn't spend all day in the room anyway, being near the beach and all. Very convenient to several well-known restaurants such as the Oyster House, LuLu's, Lambert's and Hazel's; just north of the... More

My family (myself, my husband, and 4 year old daughter) had a really nice stay at the hotel. We stayed 3 nights / 4 days. The hotel was clean, the employees were courteous and eager to assist us. No complaints. We plan on coming back to Gulf Shores next year and this will definitely be where we are staying. More

I must admit, after reading some of the reviews about this place, I was rather worried. I figured I'd bite the bullet and stay, considering it was just for one night. After staying here, I actually felt that I had to write a review to discredit some of the other reviews on this website. If you're expecting a Hilton or... More
