lodging

looking for economy(cheap) hotel in gulf shores area. coming down to fish in a couple of weeks. don't need much, just a bed and a bathroom.

Not sure... there is a Micro Motel just north of the Big Bridge.

Check out VRBO. You be able to find a deal from an individual. Microtel is ok but make sure your in the new building and not the old one. There's a Courtyard Marriott in Foley that's just been remodeled and should be nice. Stay away from the travelodge and days inn, they're nasty. GO check out bookit.com and hotels.com, sometimes there's deal through them just make sure you confirm the reservation with the hotel since things can get messed up through 3rd parties.

I was down for New Year weekend and stayed at the Travel Lodge. coming south it will be on your right just before the big bridge and I think it was 55.00 per night. Check with them it maybe what your looking for.

I worked there at one point back when it was a quality inn then days inn then travelodge. between the flooding, mold, bugs, and sewage issues you couldn't pay me to stay there.

I would think, it will be tough finding one now .....It is and will be spring break time, and might be booked up, most good places anyway....with out driving a good ways.....just saying....good luck in your search :boohoo:

this is where we find our lodging....rent from owners....better deals and willing to work with you some
