An exceptional property for relaxation and reflection. A big rejuvenator for the weary. Extremely family friendly. Location celebrates all that one could need for vacation. Very close to dining, malls and recreation.

This hotel located right on the beach at Gulf Shores was perfect for our overnight stay. The king-sized room facing the gulf was spacious and comfortable. The large bathroom was outfitted with large, fluffy towels and all the amenities. We enjoyed a great breakfast in the first-floor restaurant. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. I would definitely book... More

We just wanted to pay a compliment about this hotel, and it's excellent staff. In particular Heather couldn't have been more helpful and courteous. She is truly an asset to Best Western. We travel from Mississippi once or twice a year for short vacations and always select the Best Western in Gulf Shores, AL due to the comfortable beds and... More

We booked this last moment and received the lowest rate I found for a hotel that is actually on the beach. We arrived a little early but the young lady (Heather) was gracious enough to let us check-in. She even honored my request for a room on a higher floor and recommended some restaurants. The room was clean, spacious, and... More

My wife and I arrived here to stay for the weekend with our two year old...We requested a room on the bottom floor. Instead they put us in a room on the top floor. We entered the room with a very musty smell. We walked outside to look at the view when we saw the top of the rock formation.... More

This was our first stay at this hotel. My family and I went for a quick spring break getaway. Hotel is dated, but very clean, and staff is extremely friendly. The location is great, right on the beach and close to all the hot spots. The breakfast in the restaurant was generous and tasty. We would definately return!!

This hotel does NOT deserve 1 star! The only positive thing about this hotel is the location. However, the hotel is so run-down, they should level it & rebuild! Omg! I was so afraid for my 1-year old for MANY reasons. When I got up in the middle of the night, I noticed large insects & worms were infested in... More
