Top Cotton Bayou Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Orange Beach/Gulf Front

10/10 Excellent

"All of it"

Sleep Inn Orange Beach

8/10 Good

"It was a good place to stay for a couple of days while traveling through Gulf Shores"

Best Western Premier The Tides

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time while staying there. Close to the beach- we had a balcony that looked out over the water. Perfect. It was a great plus that you could check out pool towels each day (one less thing we had to pack). Would definitely stay there again! Thanks for making our vacation great."

Holiday Inn Express Orange Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Liz at the front desk was very friendly and made you feel like you were welcome. Eddie and Susan do a great job making the food. If you get a chance stop by and talk to Eddie, I enjoyed talking to him about every morning!"

Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Bedroom abit rusted on the tub and had black mold in the seams"

Perdido Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled with my wife and kids. Expedia messed up on our reservation, but the ladies at the front desk helped us out. Becareful booking out with expedia as they will tell you a "view," but really that view is of the parking lot, not the beach. Again, the front desk services helped us out and as usual, this property knocks it out of the park. The location is great. Right on the beach with a private beach (that now comes with beach chairs and an umbrella). We spent time on the beach and then after we hit up the restaurant on the first floor and the pizza there was amazing. The ice cream was jut as good. This was a perfect spot for my family of 5 (3 kiddos). We look forward to staying at this hotel next year."

Summer House Beachfront Condos

10/10 Excellent

"This condo is all about the view. It is absolutely incredible. Large balcony with nice high top table for four. There was also a lounge chair that is quite comfortable. The grounds are well kept and secured complex with a gate is a nice added comfort. The condo has been updated and is accommodating for six guests. We had a slight problem when we checked in and had an issue in the kitchen, however, the host was responsive and the issue was resolved promptly! The main bedroom has its own sliding door to the balcony, which is nice. The master bath is small, but nice. The other two rooms are nit ocean view but are accommodated nicely. We had a great time. The pool was very nice. Great beachfront access as well! We will definitely be back!"

Landing Furnished Apartments - Orange Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very clean, convenient, and inviting. I will definitely stay here again."

White Caps Condos

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location, it was clean, and check-in was quick. The only thing I’d mention is that the rules state quiet hours are from 10 PM to 8 AM, but in reality, they don't allow music at any time."
