Alabama Gulf Coast hotel rooms a the Independent

"Very much surprised about the condition of this hotel. Econo’s are usually not this up to par so I was a little skeptical in choosing it at first, but it was in top tier condition. Everything! The only thing I would suggest is to clean up the breezeway area a little bit. My family would definitely stay here again. "

"Very clean, staff was wonderful, I will definitely be staying again "

"Asside from the workers working on the balcony, (ours and above) everything was great. I also appreciate my welcome gift."

"Nice view."

"Our room smelled terribly of smoke and chemicals. There are smoking areas directly outside the exterior doors with no buffer space between building and smoking. Our room was the last at the end of the hall near those exit doors. In addition, I found a previous tenant’s hair clip and earring on the floor, making me wonder when the room had been properly vacuumed."

"Room with a balcony overlooking the Gulf. Perfect! Lovely 6 night stay!"

"A hotel that provides the bare basics but not much more than that. On the positive side, the location was very convenient; the mattress was comfortable; and the room was clean. Was astonished to find out the main building does not have an elevator, so you have to haul luggage up stairs to the 2nd floor. Room HVAC gave the room a stale smell. "

"It was ok. Room showed wear. And no hot water. It was close to the beach. We would stay there again."

"Nice hotel- horrible parking - you have to valet which is ridiculous. The pool is way too small for the amount of people. "
