There was someone playing live music at certain times of the day. The room was clean and had a simple but nice setup. The shower had great water temperature and pressure. We had an ocean view room which was worth the extra cost. Waking up to the beach every morning was so satisfying. Reading on the balcony while listening to the ocean sounds and watching the waves was everything that I needed. The hotel has beach towels that are easily checked out through a machine. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available first come first serve to hotel guests which is very convenient. There was a heated outdoor pool, a volleyball net and a few games inside. We ate all of our meals at the hotel. We ate at the grab and go food spot. I ordered the feta and spinach croissant, a chocolate chip scone and a cappuccino. We also ate dinner at the latitude 30. I ordered a ceasar salad and calamari. For breakfast at latitude 30, I ordered the French toast dish that comes bacon and I ordered a side of eggs. We also ate at the fine dining restaurant onsite where I ordered the seared scallops dish and the vanilla crème brûlée. All of the meals that we ate at the hotel were very tasty. The restaurant staff were all kind and the utensils were spotless. I believe food may have also been served at the bar near the pool, but I didn't try any food from there during my visit. I really had an enjoyable time at this hotel and I plan to return in the future.

They don't have an actual espresso machine and this large latte for $6 tastes the same as a free coffee at the hotel. Waffles were dry, kind a old. I would not recommend. Eggs were fine, but the sausage was one of those cheap gas station ones. If you are looking for a nice place to spend time , then yes, this is nice place. But food and drinks are not worth of the money spent on them. I will not be back to this place. 3 out of 10!

I also liked seeing that they would periodically walk around and clean. Good spot to hang out or work. Although it can be a bit loud if you're working and making calls, there is an outdoor area if you need somewhere quieter. I also got 3 of the Gulf Shores paninis to-go for my friends and they approved.

BuzzCats Coffee and Sweets is a quirky, cat-themed gem for coffee and dessert lovers. If you're a fan of cinnamon rolls and all things cats, this is the perfect spot! The unique cat-themed artwork lining the walls adds a cute and whimsical vibe to your visit. Their treats are always fresh and tasty, which is why it's such a popular place. However, on busy days, the wait can be quite long--I waited nearly an hour for my coffee during a rush. A little tweak to their procedures for handling high traffic times would go a long way in improving the experience. Overall, the fun atmosphere and delicious treats make it worth the visit. It's busy for a reason! read more

We immediately knew where we'd be stopping for our coffee today. This is such a cute little shop. They have a great menu with not only coffee, but also smoothies and lemonades. They have the perfect fruity options for a day spent by the beach. We ordered shaken espressos with vanilla and vanilla foam (or cold lava as they call it.) They were so good!! It was so nice to find something close by that we enjoyed that isn't Starbucks! Huge bonus for the fact that they use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes. It makes such a difference when you're a slower coffee enjoyer like I am! We will definitely be popping in for our daily dose of java a few more times this trip!

Guests with allergies need to read this and that takes precedent over speaking to a manager who may or not only provide lip service about seeing how this won't hapoen again.
