"There was nobody there to guide us to where we were supposed to go. Fortunately, there was a staff there, it is a plastic surgeons building, that was able to contact somebody with the villa who gave us phone instructions on how to open the door and where actually the room was. They apologize and said the manager is usually on top of things, but apparently at this time there was a glitch. Things happen. Other than no soap in the shower it was a beautiful day and we would stay again. PS I like to...

"great location, awesome staff"

Courtyard by Marriott Gulf Shores Craft Farms

8/10 Good

"All of the staff were smiling, welcoming and helpful. That makes all the difference after a long drive. The room was large and clean. The pool was beautifully crystal clear. My only disappointments were the not-so-soft sheets and the tiny, tiny refrigerator that also had no freezer compartment. I couldn’t even fit a restaurant takeout box into it. Also, a freezer is necessary to keep ice packs for my travel cooler cold. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay."
