Top Mussel Shoals Hotel Reviews

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property! we were in town for the Wine festival and loved the location, breakfast and amenities!"

Sandpiper Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was great, the rooms were clean and large"

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"Our 3 day stay was pure bliss! The breakfast was light and well put together. They offered gluten free bread, as well. The dinner there was amazing! This is not a cheap meal- plan around $200 for four. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The view is 10/10. The only downside- heading South, you have to bypass the hotel and head back up to from another exit. 2. It was humid and I could not figure out if there was A/C. However, this was in September and the weather was perfect... *we don't come from a humid state* This was a core memory for us and our kids."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"The place was nice.. Location was really close to most things. You could walk to the beach-across the street… The only bummer is a eye contact stuck to the night stand.. They serve you the typical motel breakfast .. So I gave it 4 stars just cause I wish they spent a minute making sure every spot in the room was clean. Didn’t like the contact. I saved a long time for this trip… they should see small details…"
