One of 2 elevators was down for the week. It is part of the Gulf state park, so we brought our eBikes to ride around. We could bring them to our room for safekeeping. This is a very convenient place to stay for eBikes or bicycles as well.

Stayed here before 2 years ago and had an amazing time, we were hoping for the same. Arrived Thursday late, walked down to the dark beach. Awesome, love it. Next day, beach is closed and everyday following for construction. Guests were not told of this closure, and construction workers threatened to call the cops on visitors getting too close to them, even on the pier. Construction day and night, no point in paying for the beachfront view. People checking today as we were checking out told me they were not told of the beach closure either, many angry people. At least communicate with your guests please

I am extremely disappointed with our stay at The Lodge. My husband and I were looking forward to a relaxing experience at one of the Gulf’s most pristine beaches to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, we were notified upon checking into our room that the beaches were in the middle of a 24-HR dredging project right on the beach directly in front of the hotel. The loud machines kept us up all throughout the night, it was absolutely miserable. We were promised that if we were not satisfied with our experience due to the beach construction, that our room would be offered to us at a discounted rate for compensation. When we went to checkout, there was no compensation at all. So, we paid full price for a Gulf View (dredging site view) room at a highly rated hotel, and had a very poor experience to say the least. Although the dredging project is out of the hotels control, they could have done a better job to offer other accommodations/options for the major inconvenience especially on a big holiday. We would not have had this issue if we had chosen to stay somewhere else, and in the future we will!

Always a pleasure to stay here!

It was great!!

Lovely hotel right on the white sand beach.

Hotel was very nice, beach and views amazing. Handicap accommodations not so. There are only 3 handicap parking spots. The rest of the parking is a hike.

I wish there were more fire pits available to use, as it was cold enough at night to use them. The breakfast for my second morning was terrible! It was a simple breakfast sandwich but the muffin wasn’t toasted and the meat and egg was cold. They should post more notices that the restaurants and room service were not open/available.

Location was great. Hotel was very clean. Great view

Perfect peaceful stay. This property sits on state park. Away from chaos. See the sun rise and set over same balcony. Would definitely stay again

The hotel has large rooms, great food and lots of beach and trails to enjoy. The staff was very nice and the ocean views were wonderful. Lots of nice indoor and outdoor amenities. The only thing I would change is the bedding. This warm Southern hotel has thick Arctic-weight quilts on the bed and no available light blankets. It means you’re either too hot or too cold all night.

We had a fantastic time at The Lodge. The staff was amazing and valet attendants were quick and efficient. The beach was clean and gulf view room was perfect.

Wonderful place, really enjoyed the views and food.

Great!

This place was lovely. The location was perfect, food was good and staff was friendly and attentive.

Simple perfection. All in one …. Hiking and bike riding on one side …the beach on the other. We literally did a walk this morning on the beach and in the woods. You won’t regret your stay if you desire a place to relax. There are four places to eat on the grounds.

I travel quite a bit for business and pleasure. The Lodge is at the top of my list for pristine gorgeousness in all regards, the staff and service are outstanding, the non-commercial atmosphere is refreshing, and of course it is very clean. I felt so honored to have a delicious plate of fresh fruit and cheese, and a bottle of wine upon my arrival...and also, a favorite wine! I am returning in April.

The lodge is beautiful and we loved everything about our stay even if it rained the whole time.

Beautiful location!,

Friendly staff

Awesome stay. Perch restaurant was awesome. Clean and quiet

Loved this property. Def get the ocean view

Unfortunately plane delays, so we missed the evenings entertainment and the sunset. But it is a beautiful resort. Great views.

Great service, beautiful views, comfortable stay! Hope to go back soon!!

The lodge is on a pristine beach in the State Park far from the high-rises and the commotion. Absolutely serene. My only negative comment - there was no visible way to access the heat and cool modes on the thermostat and easily regulate the temperature. We had to have building services come assist. We were told this is a common problem Still 5 stars all the way. .

The actual building looks like a Soviet style block house probably the design was approved by some Alabama State employee. Service very good. Employees very plesant. Parking w/o valet get your hiking shoes on. Location to State Park facilities excellent with access to trails so you will need your hiking shoes.

The property was big with multiple food options. The staff was great and so were the amenities. It is close to everything but feels remote. It was a very relaxing environment.

Nice rooms. The oceanside had beautiful views of ocean.

No coffee available before 6:00 AM. This is a BIG deal to me. I want to have coffee on the beach before Sunrise.

Too expensive Food too expensive

The beach and water are beautiful here! And the lodge is wonderful with lots of unexpected amenities like an infinity pool and a beachside restaurant with good food, drink and live music. I was impressed by the friendly professionalism of every employee I encountered. The lodge is in a state park ( which is fantastic on its own with miles of walking trails ) so area is not crowded out with commercialism. We enjoyed every minute of our stay This place is truly a gem !

The place was clean. That is it. Great staff. No argument. Basic at best.
