Great affordable option in Gulf Shores
Jim at the front desk did an excellent job of welcoming us and making sure every need was taken care of. He is a real asset to this company. The breakfast food was decent. I was a bit disappointed that the juice machine didn't work, but they did have a jug of orange juice. The room was clean & quiet, and the bed was oh, so comfortable! Super close to the beach too!

Amazing Staff
We landed here for a night after our condo we had previously booked fell through. The hotel staff was amazing and very helpful. Unfortunately the elevators and ice machines in the hotel were not working. Over all it was a very pleasant stay and the breakfast was great.

Legs already tired.
Everything was normal once I arrived. Check-in was amazing. Friendly staff. Once I got back to the hotel the elevator was broken. It was an unexpected situation. Staff said they didn't know when it would be fixed.

Would stay again
Room smelled clean but had many stains on carpet and couch. Bed comfortable and clean. Breakfast was plentiful. Only irritating thing was noise from plumbing, heard it while trying to sleep.

Exactly what we needed
Good location, near where we needed to be for an event. Close to the beach. Nice, safe area. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and breakfast had a nice variety.

Friendly and very personable staff. Room carpet had stains and the room smelled musty. I was disappointed with our room for a Holiday Inn Express.

8/10 Very Good

This Holiday Inn Express was in a good location ( except with the construction going on the Blvd.) At the moment, making access to the facility inconvenient. But for the most part my family and I were pleased with the location, the facility, the staff( whom were all nice and polite) rooms were spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was the best I've eaten at any of the facilities. Our stay was comfortable and pleasant. Elevator wasn't working properly and the ice machine on my floor was not working But there was access on another floor. I would book this Holiday Inn Express location again in the future. Recommend.
