Sleep Inn on the Beach, Orange Beach

The only positive I could say about this hotel is the location. It is right in the middle of orange beach so you don't have to travel far for eating and shopping. Here is the negative: The room was by far the smallest hotel room I have ever been in for the high cost. Our bathroom light was out and it only had a walk in shower. The elevator stayed down most of our stay. The maid service was sitting in the hallway one morning folding linens(?) and the lady at front dest was not very courteous. Want my advice? Don't stay here.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Sleep inn. In fact, we are going to stay there again next week for vacation! I love the location and our room was very clean. They kept us stock full of fresh towels and coffee. The bathroom is very small but that wasn't a problem with us. I actually like the fact that is only has a shower instead of a bath tub because I don't like using a tub that many other people have used lol. We never ate the breakfast so I don't know whether it was good or not and what kind of selection they had. We only dealt with the staff at the front desk when we checked in and out, but they were friendly both times. We only used our room for sleeping in so we are not picky and overall enjoyed our stay there. If you have kids and/or are planning on hanging out in your room for other reasons than sleeping than you may consider a condo. Sleep inn works just fine for my husband and I.

My family of four stayed for one night.. The room was small and smelled like mildew. The carpet was stained and gross looking. The beds were uncomfortable and the TV was old as well. I just think the whole place could use some updating.. I should have state at the mariott across the street for $ 170.00

Three friends and I stayed here for two nights. The room and bathroom were very small. The bathroom door doesn't lock. The sliding balcony door wouldn't slide at all, we had to pick it up to close it. The air conditioner was really loud and annoying, we couldn't watch tv or talk over it. Lastly, there was a hole in the wall near the floor. I wasn't really bothered by it but just thought it was something that shouldnt be. We are college students, so it wasn't too bad for two nights. It was very conveniently located. I wouldn't recommend it for families or anyone expecting a nice hotel.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights with another couple for a short weekend getaway. While this place was by no means a "luxury" stay, I found it to be a good value for the convience of being right on the beach. The pros of this hotel are that it is right on the beach, and that it is in a good location for relaxing yet it is still close to all of the attractions and restaurants. The cons are the rooms and bathrooms. The beds are hard, and the bathroom doesn't have a lock or bathtub. Overall, our stay was decent but I would not recommend staying here for longer than two days.

The rooms are EXTREMELY small, I could fit more people in a matchbox. Front desk were not very friendly, breakfast choice was very LIMITED. Room were however clean, but for the price you are much better off renting a condo it will be cheaper and much bigger. The pool water smelled kinda funky as well, maybe too much or not enough chlorine?

The reviews for this hotel are misleading. We had an issue with another hotel that we booked and called the Sleep Inn since it was right on the beach and our other hotel wasn't. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach and a really reasonable rate. The rooms are small but we were just sleeping in the room not hanging out. The rooms don't have a frig or microwave but they have a microwave in the lobby that you can use. Also we knew they didn't have a frig so that wasn't a big deal. The rooms just have showers but that didn't matter to us but might to those with small kids. I would go back and stay at the Sleep Inn as my first choice next time.

Well first off, the front desk lied to me about the weather for our stay by saying it'd be sunny and maybe a shower in the afternoon when actually it was 50% chance of thunderstorms our whole stay. Then, they didn't mention that you had to get a beachfront room to have a balcony you could actually walk on. The furniture in the room felt crammed into it. The curtain had paint all over it and holes like it was moth eaten and was extremely hard to push over to open the balcony door. Of the two -drawers we got, one wouldn't even open. The ac was on full blast and the room still didn't get cold at night, and thinking it was just our room, we asked other people and they complained of the same thing. Don't think about taking a bath because you don't have a choice. There's only a shower. Oh and the shower door doesn't have a handle on the inside so you can't even close it all the way. The hallways and lobby and elevators were extremelyy hot. The elevators were slow and would randomly stop and open for noone. One shook horribly and I got stuck in one just sitting there shaking for a few minutes. A man there also got stuck in one for about 10 minutes. There are no microwaves in the rooms, so when they say "oh we offer many amenities", it's only one microwave in the lobby. The continental breakfast was your regular coffee, fruit, and bagels. Oh and the best part!......the couple across from us told us "yeah we got moved out of your room because it was invaded by ants, then we moved into our second room and that had sand fleas, so now we're moving to our third room." all I can say is wow. Every time I went to the room service room I was directed to so I could get towels for our room, they never had any! Besides all of this, we made our trip enjoyable and the beach was nice. But I assure you, we won't come back, or recommend it to anyone. It definitely wasn't worth the price.

We stayed at Sleep Inn in Orange beach in April 2009, with our 4 kids. The rooms were a little small, but we weren't there for the rooms. We were there for the beach. The staff was extremely friendly, and the view was great from our hotel room. My kids are keep asking when are we going back. We are hoping to go back really soon.It is a great price for what you get.

After reading lots of reviews, I didn't expect much. I was pleasntly surprised. Like some reviews said, there was a shower only (no tub), the balcony was small and the tv remote didn't work. Those are the only bad things I can say. The room was clean, the pillows were soft and the staff was wonderful. It's not a condo but a nice place to stay that is ON the beach and minutes away from dolphin tours, The Wharf and Adventure Island. It was well worth the price. I would stay there again without issue.
