Accidental booked this one instead of the one in orange Beach. Needless to say the overall experience was better than that one as that's where i usually stay. Bed was so comfortable. Room was nice and clean. Quiet. You can't hear through the walls like most hotels. Probably why i slept so wonderful 😌 that ➕️ the bedding/ mattress. I loved the little kitchenette area though we didn't use it. Maybe next time for much a longer stay. Very quiet and just a wonderful stay!

Bed and pillows are comfortable. There is no free breakfast, but you can go next door to their pricey restaurant. We went somewhere else for breakfast. At check-in, the person at the front desk was not very cordial. The property itself looks like it needs some refurbishment. The only real plus is that it is right on the beach.
