“This was a nice room, but pricey.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012 via mobile

This hotel was very nice, we stayed one night and had no problems. I did not like having found hair all over in the rooms and no conditioner for us. People were very friendly, I would recommend but advise that it is one of the pricier hotels on the beach.

“Breakfast - best kept secret in Orange beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012 via mobile

For breakfast in Orange Beach this is hard to beat! Not your tourist kind of place either, recommended by my friend and manager of the Seafarer Condominiums in Perdido Key, Dan Wagaman,this small restaurant makes you feel special; clean, quiet and downright friendly - oh, the eggs and grits are cooked just how you like them. For breakfast, just trust me on this one, you'll like it.

Stayed July 2012

“Comfortable room, clean...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

Stayed one night for an event at Orange Beach. Nothing really fancy about the hotel or the rooms. But they were clean. I had an ocean-view room up high so it was quiet. location on the beach is a plus.

“NOT impressed!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

Currently staying at the hotel and I must say I am not that impressed! Nice location, nice beach, nice friendly staff BUT room was dirty (wear socks or house shoes because floor is greasy feeling and just nasty), can tell this place is older, watch out because you can lock yourself out of the room on the balcony very easy, NO refrigerator, NO microwave, NO nothing just a place to sleep. For the price I guess I just expected alittle more than this, will not be returning!

“Good place to stay with ample amenities to help you enjoy yourself”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

This place is an older establishment yet has many amenities like newer ones. All rooms face the gulf. There is a small cafe on the ground floor that serves breakfast and lunch. We had breakfast there one day and received a hearty amount of food for a good price. They also have a buffet on weekends and a bar on the premises.

Most rooms are the same in regards to style and space. This trip we opted for a penthouse suite on the tenth floor. They have a lot more space with 2 seperate rooms and 2 bathrooms. All the suites on the 10th floor cost more yet I believe are well worth it when compared to other hotels that may offer penthouse suites.

There is a nice size pool and ample lounger space around the pool as well. The white sand beach is the best around and offers countless hours to enjoy the sun and water.

The staff is always helpful with info about the surrounding areas including restaurants and pubs / bars. Its location is close to many good restaurants and Gulf Shores as well.

Room Tip: The top floor has all penthouse suites with large rooms and 2 bathrooms. All rooms face the gulf.
