Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach Beachfront
Staff was amazing. We had a room on the side but still saw the beach a little bit and that was good enough for us. Super easy access to the beach and clean. We didnt had their breakfast but had dinner and that was pretty good!

My room was great, the view was amazing. I do think it is crazy that they don't have a coffee pot in the room, but I brought mine from home. The bed was very cozy. Pool and hot tub were great. The beach and water were so close. I will stay here again.
