Staybridge Suites Gulf Shores by IHG

8/10 Good

"My hotel stay was nice. All of the front desk staff were friendly, except for one young lady who I wasn’t that impressed with. The room was clean. Housekeeping missed cleaning my room one day, but were great the rest of the week. I was pleased that it really was close to the beach since this was my first time in Gulf Shores. I would stay here again. I will definitely return next year!!"

Courtyard by Marriott Gulf Shores Craft Farms

8/10 Good

"We only stayed one night before checking into our Condo in Gulf Shores. Property was very clean and staff was very friendly. It’s in a great location between Foley and Gulf Shores. Only disappointment was there was no complimentary breakfast and it was $20 a person to eat breakfast. Besides that, very pleased!! Would definitely stay again!!"
