Sleep Inn Gulf Front Resort

On the Beach

So many of the hotels along the Gulf Coast were not operational when we were there in the winter of 2005-2006, that I started taking pictures of the ones that were still standing. This Sleep Inn along the Gulf Shores seems to be still in operation and is taking reservations on the Sleep Inn website. We like Sleep Inns because they are reasonable in price and have amenities such as:
AT&T Long Distance *
Braille Coded Exits
Elevator(s)
Free Coffee
Free Continental Breakfast
Free Newspaper Mon-Fri
Government Travelers: FEMA Approved
Guest Use Copy Machine *
Guest Use Fax Machine *
Hair Dryer
Interior Corridors
Iron & Ironing Board
Outdoor Parking
Balcony
Cable/Satellite TV
Free Local Calls
In-Room Air Conditioning
In-Room Desk
Individual A/C & Heat
Some Rooms also have Computer Hook-up

* requires additional fee.

Apparently after the hurricanes, the hotel had problems with mold and broken elevators and other items which had not yet been repaired, but the more recent reviews are much better.

Unique Quality: According to the Sleep Inn website:

The Sleep Inn® Gulf Front Resort is located on the Gulf of Mexico, Popular attractions, including Waterville USA and Perdido Key, are less than 10 miles away. This Orange Beach hotel is 12 miles from Faulkner State Community College. The Orange Beach Marina, Bear Point Marina and Sportsman Marina are less than eight miles away.
