"Located near the beaches and shopping"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Gulf Shores

10/10 Excellent

"I use this place a lot when I travel to go on fishing trips. Not a fancy type place but a good safe friendly place to stay for a few days. Staff has always been friendly and helpful, especially Ms. Ray over the breakfast. She does her best to keep everything full even when extremely busy. Ms.Ray always helps start my days off in an excellent mood when I'm greeted with her amazing smile and up beat attitude."

Motel 6 Gulf Shores, AL

8/10 Good

"While the overall condition of our room was a little run down, and had no furniture to speak of, the rate was excellent and the desk personal were wonderful and willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs."
