Room was clean and the breakfast was decent. Staff was very friendly. It was in a good locations. Not to far from the beach. Overall I would stay there again.
Everything was nice. It was close to get to the beach and all the things we wanted to do.

Owners / management are investing in updates, but attention needs to be focused on housekeeping and cleaning of rooms, bathrooms (mold & mildew in shower), AC filters, elevators, floors all were dirty. Fantastic & new fresh brewed coffee machine in lobby & healthy chobani yogurt & fresh fruit options at breakfast.
The staff were very friendly and helpful regarding questions about the area . When the hurricane Isaias was forecasted to landfall in the immediate area our Front Desk lady was Super helpful and directed us to move north of the Intercoastal Waterway Bridge on 59 ,knowing they would close it . That info was important because they did close the Bridge by noon . If we go back we will stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites IGH on Rt 59 Gulf Shores ,Alabama . Aside from all that it is perfectly located with an easy drive down to the beach , with The Cove Bar and Grill right next store and Happy Pappy's coffee house within walking distance .
The room was just what we needed to be comfortable.
Breakfast every morning was good. Biscuits and gravy, eggs. Sausage, cereals and yogurt.
Jim that checked us in made us feel very welcome. He took the time to stand and say hello and talked if we stopped to chat. He made you feel very much at home.
With it just s mile from the beach location was also good.

The parking was good excellent breakfast staff was very helpful the rooms could have been a little cleaner but would recommend the hotel.
We loved our stay it was a very nice place we will definitely stay with them again everyone of the staff was very friendly and our room was very nice and clean very comfortable beds as well
The front desk clerk was so friendly I almost asked if he’s from the Mid-West! This hotel is away from the busy commercial area but close to restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again.
Location is great and the parking area is very good. The room was spacious and clean, but you can definitley tell that this is an older hotel. Overall, no complaints.
