Holiday Inn Express Orange Beach-on the Beach by IHG

We had a nice, very clean but kind of small, room, with a beautiful view of the beach. It had a microwave, minifridge, and all the basic amenities except coffee, but they did provide coffee 24/7 in the lobby. Everybody was extremely friendly. I loved the breakfast man! Also, best hotel breakfast Ive had in a long time. I dont know what youre paying him, but that man deserves a raise! I do wish there were more lights around the pool for safety reasons, it got very dark out there when the sun went down, even though the pool stayed open for a few more hours. We also had the issue of the elevator moving before the doors closed. It happened twice(both times going down from 4th floor) and only moved about 4 inches before it stopped again and closed the doors, but I'd advise caution with that.

When we first arrived we encountered Bonnie. She was very sweet and eager to tell us about the amenities and recommended us great places to eat. Each time we saw her she greeted us with a smile and asked if there was anything she could get us to make out stay even better. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will book again soon!

The staff made our stay excellent. In a tourist area this HIE felt more like a family atmosphere yet still professional and attentive. Holly and James as well as cleaning staff went above and beyond to ensure our needs were not only met but that our time was enjoyable! Will definitely come back!

My family and I enjoyed this vacation so much! We mostly stayed at the hotel. Being mid-April we played in the sand at the beach and in the HEATED outdoor pool!! The pool was great for our youngest especially, it has an easy entry side for the littles, and the sandbar is open for the adults to enjoy while in the gated pool area with the kids. Parking was great. Location is great, less than 3 miles from all the great restaurants, stores, etc. We ordered door dash one night as well as domino’s a couple times, and they were very prompt deliveries. Hotel service was great! All Staff were very friendly and eager to help. Fresh brewed coffee to order in the lobby 24/7. Towels always available in the hotel lobby. We stayed during Easter weekend, so they had lots going on for the kids… Easter bunn

We got a beachfront room just to enjoy the weekend. The room was really small. Stains on the carpet and couch. Sticky food on the bedside table. The ceiling was peeling. I would be very upset if I paid full price. The only good points were the free breakfast and the location of being steps from beach. There are better hotels in Gulf shores or orange beach. Would not recommend.
