Comfortable and inexpensive. More than I expected for the price.

Seeking a cheap hotel for Valentine's, I chose Microtel. I had high hopes. And I was NOT let down. The overall feel in the hotel is nice. We received prompt check-in, actually two hours earlier than scheduled. It pays to call. The beds were very comfortable, and the pillows were even better. We stayed in the regular rooms, which could easily sleep five. Large television. Very nice pool, although it was too cold to swim. The breakfast bar was simple, but sufficient. Cereal, milk, honey buns, pecan swirls, juices, toast, bagels, and coffee. Everything was fresh. My only complaint is that the walls are paper thin, and we could hear whatever neighbors nearby... clearly. Also, the showers were just beyond lukewarm. Just enough to make you longing for a bit more heat. At least they weren't cold, though. I've been there and done that before. Overall, the stay was much more pleasing than I'd expected. We enjoyed our mini-vacation for Valentine's, and still had extra money to spare. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very nice

I like the location. The rooms were very modern and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definetly recommend this hotel to a friend. I will also be sure to book it for any other trips to Gulf Shores.

A Tale of Two Buildings

the rooms are vastly different from the suites. We came in on business and checked into the lowest price room. I'm not normally claustrophobic but I felt it when I walked in. There was not adequate lighting in the room and so much of the furnishing just looked run down. It looked nothing like the picture. My company allowed an upgrade so I gladly took it. The suite was picture perfect- so perfect that it didn't even look like the same hotel. They ought to upgrade the rooms building to match the suites building. The hotel was so safe that I felt like hanging around just in the room and walking around the premises but we had come there to see the gulf and ocean. The pool was always too crowded so we skipped that in favor of going to the real beach. I loved that it was centrally located. We passed a lot of attractions coming to the hotel and going to the beach and I loved it.

Read this before booking!!!

We booked this then found a cheeper rate in a travel magazine upon arrival I asked them about this they were more than happy to use this discount now I know why. There are 2 sections to the hotel a new section and an old. I was told the new section did not have micro/ref (the web site said all rooms had them). The old section had them but no elevator to 2nd floor. So she found ua a room first floor old section. Walked in and room was REALLY REALLY small. So small the crib had to go in the bathroom or blocking the door. the floor was so dirty with in 5 minuets of taking off shoes our feet were BLACK! The ice machine didn't work on fist floor so had to hike up stairs just for ice, their breakfast was in the other building and was VERY lacking all there was to choose from was old muffins, oat meal or stale bagles. Pool was very small (would only hold 10 people). The walls are paper thin hear all guests and all of thier....Lastly we were talking to another guest the last night of our stay who was staing in the new section and guess what all room do have the micro/frig. I'm thinking the front desk didn;t want to give us the nicer newer rooms for the coupon rate.
