The Lodge At Gulf State Park, A Hilton

Just left after 3 nights and 4 days of stay. Absolutely did not want to leave. From the staff, the accommodation to the friendly environment was AMAZING. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The beach was stunning and the pool was a great place to relax, network and enjoy family time all together. Definitely my first choice. Will be back soon. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

This hotel was an unexpected gem! Lots of amenities from the poolside bar to the multiple on-site restaurants to the boardwalks to the beach. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room was very clean. The front desk was friendly and professional. Hilton did a fantastic job with this facility. There are conference rooms. There is a shuttle that can take you anywhere in the park. There is also a walkway OVER the road to the park.

Best hotel experience I’ve had in a while. Location was AMAZING for those with little ones or those looking for a “private” entrance to the beach. Staff was nice and knowledgeable. Food was pretty reasonable for a hotel better than expected. Proximity to other restaurants and activities was great. Will definitely be booking this location for future trips.Rooms: Rooms were clean but the mattress and pillows weren’t as plush as hotels beds typically advertise but doable.Food drinks: Food selections were good, the day I stayed in and ordered room service no complaints were had!

Just left after a 3 Night Stay for the 4th Of July Holiday with the family. Only thing this place really has going for it is it’s location and the private beach. I’ve stayed at a lot nicer hotels with better amenities included for a quarter of the price. Nearly $500 a night and no complimentary breakfast included is a major insult when even a $75 a night Holiday Inn will give you a hot breakfast included in your stay. Do better Hilton!Rooms: Rooms weren’t anything fancy or special, especially for the pricing.Food drinks: Food was overpriced and so were the drinks. You would think at over $400 a night they’d give you complimentary breakfast but no nothing, not even a cup of coffee.

The room did not match the images shown online at all. The staff was generally rude, both over the phone and in person, though one gentleman named Jake was an exception and provided helpful service. The value for the price was significantly lacking; this place is definitely overrated. We were informed that the restaurant closed at 7 PM, so we sought out other food options, only to later discover it was open until 9 PM. The food quality was below expectations considering the prices. The view from our room was not what we had originally booked. They offered to move us to an ADA-compliant room or one with bunk beds, but that wasn’t what we wanted. Additionally, the constant noise from children...

On the downside, parking is quite a distance from the hotel entrance, which meant we had to rely on valet parking that costs $22 per night. If you can manage your luggage, you might consider the long walk to the parking lot, but we had a lot of extra items for the beach. Additionally, it's important to note that guests are not allowed to use the luggage carts without valet assistance. As I mentioned in a previous review, we were disappointed with Hilton's recent changes to the breakfast policy for Gold and Diamond Honors members. Now, we only receive a $30 food and beverage credit for the room, which is not enough to cover two breakfasts. Furthermore, additional rooms booked by the Honors m... View menu

Speaking of dining, all the on-site restaurants were wonderful and beautifully designed, including the Woodside Grill. Having them right on the property is so convenient, and the quality of the food surpasses any beach restaurant I've ever experienced. I have a feeling the locals come here just for the amazing food! The staff greeted us with smiles at every opportunity. Like most Hilton properties, the beds were comfortable, and the food was fresh and beautifully presented. Yet, the natural beauty here is simply awe-inspiring! The dunes and the path leading to the beach are stunning. One of the highlights was biking across the pedestrian bridge to Gulf State Park’s smooth, wide, paved trai...

For our family of four (2 sons, 11 and 13) this place was a dream! When we first arrived in Gulf Shores we ate lunch in town and then visited the main public beach. It was crowded body to body with umbrellas 5 deep from the ocean. Total chaos. Then we arrived at The Lodge and felt like we had arrived at an oasis. From the moment you walk in, it smelled good and the decor fits the environment perfectly. While we waited for our room to be ready, we grabbed some mocktails from the pool bar and enjoyed them in the rockers looking out onto the beach. All the stress we felt at the main beach washed away. Every service person we encountered from start to finish was absolutely lovely. We had the gul...

This is our 2nd stay. Our first stay was right after the lodge opened up and our experience was great. Pricing was reasonable and our room had a pretty park view. No issues whatsoever and I even recommended The Lodge to several friends. Now onto our second stay: Keep in mind the website states all rooms have a excellent view of either the park or the ocean. This stay our view was construction. We kept our curtains closed the entire time. To be fair and not be entirely negative, the beds are comfortable and the beach area is very nice and you can get off to yourself, however the hotel is extremely overpriced for what you get. It is just that, a hotel. In addition to the over $2, 000 we paid w... View menu
