This is a nice and quiet little place. I was traveling with my dog, and there’s plenty of grassy area. Don’t expect nothing fancy, but if you’re just looking for a place to sleep, it’s great.

Staff allowed us to check in early and super friendly. Felt safe in the area for a one night stay. Bathroom clean & very pleased with the fridge & microwave. Definitely recommend for a quick or last minute trip! Probably not ideal for a longer than 2 night stay, but gets the job done!

Just needed a late night stay after concert so I didn't have to drive at night. Price was first concern. But I was happy to find that it was also very nice, the property was off the main road,well maintained and clean. I liked that it was away from the highway noise and lights. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will be going to more concerts at the wharf now that I know where to stay.

Nice property but large dead cockroaches were found under bathroom sink and under bed. As someone with a roach phobia, it was very off-putting. Floor and walls were very dirty also 😕 I wiped everything down with my own Lysol wipes so I was a little more comfortable. We have a toddler that still drinks milk so the fridge was a nice help to keep her milk cold.

You get what you pay for and the accommodations matched what we paid. Late night check in was a breeze. While the furnishings were minimalist, the bed offered a good nights sleep. I did have to wear my linen outfit wrinkled because there was no iron available. If you are looking for an inexpensive option close to a public beach this place fits the bill.

Shower was never cleaned & curtain was gross. The light in bathroom wouldn’t turn on until you waited for it to warm up. Never heard of such a thing. AC was very loud but it did cool the room. Staff was friendly at least the one we dealt with.

Check-in office was a bit hard to find. Staff was very amazing and nice. Plenty of parking spaces. No elevator. 1 flight of stairs to go up to second floor which was not too bad. No breakfast, but the office is open 24/7 with free coffee/hot chocate and all kinds of daily necessities if needed. Room included mini fridge and a microwave. 8 minutes from Gulf Shores Beach. We were here for a volleyball tournament, and it was about 15min away from the venue. Can’t wait to be back next season!

What a gem! This is my second stay here in less than a month. This location is by far the best Motel 6 I’ve ever stayed at. Nikki is amazing! Everyone I’ve met on the staff genuinely cares about their facility & the quality of their guests’ stay. They go above & beyond. We always travel with our dog & cat, so we prefer to stay at Motel 6 when traveling. Thank you so very much for a lovely stay!

This Motel 6 was exactly what I needed! Location is perfect. Walking distance to LuLu’s, which is Jimmy Buffett’s sister’s place and a great spot by the water for drinks, eats and music. There’s nothing fancy with the room but it’s kept up wonderfully. The best part was the customer service. The staff was so kind and helpful! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!
