10/10 Excellent
"Nice dog friendly hotel in a central location on Orange beach. Staff was very friendly at check in. Not a lot of grass for dogs but adjacent to a great walking trail which we enjoyed. No lobby coffee but the attached restaurant and coffee shop had a good selection. Rooms were large and had a great beach vibe. Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy the beach. Hopefully next time!"
