Hilton Garden Inn is a clean convenient place to stay on Orange Beach. It is a bit pricey with few amenities, so be prepared to pay for extras. There is a little restaurant that is open for breakfast only. Breakfast is about $10.00. Every night we were there, there was some sort of a banquet being catered in the restaurant, so I think this hotel is a popular place for business meetings or retreats. There is one laundry room on the sixth floor with one washer and one dryer. (Broken but they did refund my money) Rooms are on the smallish side for a family of four. The chair was broken, but they replaced it when we asked. The hook on the bathroom door was missing, but they fixed that. The hotel is showing the wear and tear of being a beachfront hotel. I think we might have been better off staying at the Holiday Inn Express down the road, which was also beachfront and includes a breakfast. We used the fridge and microwave in the room. We packed a cooler daily and walked to the beach, which was just a short walk outside the back of the hotel. You have to rent the chairs for $25.00 per day or $5.00 an hour. (Two chairs and one umbrella) Take your own beach towels. I did not see any towels for hotel guests to use at the pool or beach.

We liked this part of Orange Beach because it wasn't as crowded as other beaches we've been to. Most of the people on our little stretch of beach were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn.

We will go back, but I don't know about the Hilton Garden Inn. I cannot figure out what Hilton Garden Inns are. They are as expensive as a Hilton Hotel, so it's not like a Holiday Inn Express. It's just a Hilton with a restaurant that serves breakfast, but it 's not a complimentary breakfast as they have at HIE.

Go to Lambert's restaurant with kids or teenagers. It's fun. Be prepared for a 45 minute wait, but time goes by fast. They do not take credit cards, so take cash! Food portions are huge. You'll have lunch for the next day with the leftovers. Skip the banana pudding.

Skip the dolphin watching. We saw four dolphins. We've been in New England and have seen whales and dolphins, so maybe we were expecting too much.

Our stay here was wonderful!! The location was great, easy to find, and the rooms are large. I arrived very early, around breakfast time but was unable to check-in of course but that was no problem. The front desk asked for our cell phone number and contacted us as soon as our room became available. That was very nice of them I thought. Once we checked-in our stay was beautiful. The balcony is nice and the beds are comfortable.
You also have a fridge to keep your food and drinks cold and a microwave to warm leftovers. This is a great place to relax!!

I decided to take a little getaway one weekend...just me, myself, and the beach!...well guess what..."RAIN"....:(......i have to say i had the best time dispite the weather.....the staff made me feel so welcomed...like "FAMILY".....all smiles where ever i turned....and don't get me started on the cookies @ 5!

Nice clean rooms with comfortable beds. Hotel was booked to capacity but staff went out of their way to help guests. Kids loved the heated indoor/outdoor pool. There's an indoor hot tub that's warm and an outdoor hot tub that is wonderfully hot, even on a cool day. Make sure to stop by the front desk at 5:00 for home baked cookies. Complimentary tea and coffee in the morning. There's a nice breakfast buffet that costs extra but there was usually a line in the morning. Great location on the beach strip with several good restaurants and seafood shops closeby.
