"The condo provided was fantastic! It was clean and in great condition, almost everything worked very well (one of the TV remotes didn't work, but it was a non-issue since we didn't care to watch TV there), and the view of the beach was amazing! It's in a very pedestrian friendly area, too. The staff were also very polite and professional. We were able to receive and return our key without any issues. I can definitely picture coming back here again next year!"

Top Alabama Coastal Birding Trail Hotel Reviews

The Lodge at Gulf State Park, A Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the property, our stay was amazing. However, I wish I knew about the free bike rentals The Lodge offered, because I spent almost $200 for bike rentals across the street."

Courtyard by Marriott Gulf Shores Craft Farms

10/10 Excellent

"Very professional and friendly staff. Good dinner specials and a great location"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Gulf Shores by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Breakfast was good staff was nice"

Comfort Inn & Suites Gulf Shores East Beach near Gulf State Park

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing, location was great, hotel room we had was pretty big & what made it feel maybe larger was the lack of interior amenities such as a table to fill the voided space. Couch was difficult to sit on due to the lack of comfort. Bathroom needed some love as far as touch ups. Water pressure was great. Exhaust fan was non existent in the bathroom. Many light switches inside the room didn't work. TV options were very limited, couldn't even log into my personal streaming services which would've been great. Beds were very comfortable. Didn't utilize the balcony due to the winds but it looked nice. In all I would stay here again"

Quality Inn Gulf Shores Airport

10/10 Excellent

"All good had to leave early because of hurricane. Management was very helpful in refunding my money for unused nights."

Red Roof Inn Gulf Shores

8/10 Good

"Bedding was stained and bathroom door and walls were dirty but everything else was ok for our one night stay"

San Carlos Condos

8/10 Good

"In the master bathroom, it was hard getting up from the toilet. I am handicapped and needed a side bar. There is nothing to hold on to. I would also suggest a grab bar somewhere around the tub."

The Cabins at Gulf State Park

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the cabins in the park. The cabin was updated, clean and comfortable. Loved the trails and rode our bikes quite a bit. Took advantage of the guided hike (more like a stroll) but learned a lot and enjoyed it. The restaurant in the park is also good and convenient. Would book again."

Hampton Inn Gulf Shores

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"
