Top Gulf Shores Hotel Reviews

Beachside Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was great for the most part except when some crackhead was trying to break in my room and the front desk wouldn't answer the phone. The phone in the room didn't work so I used my phone. I had to call the cops, after that whoever it was stopped. Luckily it was our last night or i would've left. It reeked of weed the entire time. But other than that, the beds were amazingly comfortable. The room was clean. The staff was mostly nice. Close enough to the beach and Bahama Bob's."

My only disappointments were the not-so-soft sheets and the tiny, tiny refrigerator that also had no freezer compartment. I couldn’t even fit a restaurant takeout box into it. Also, a freezer is necessary to keep ice packs for my travel cooler cold. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay."
