Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach Beachfront
Pool was supposed to be heated. It was cold. Water damage on the floor they put us on and there were dehumidifiers in the hall. It smelled awful. The carpets were terribly stained. Will not stay here again. Staff was extremely nice though. Loved the pastry man in the breakfast area.

Surf & Sand Hotel
Excellent location near to the beach. Staff helpful and welcoming. Pool and beach area not huge, but adequate. Only issues were a shower that had non existent pressure and no where to sit in the room other than the bed.
