We stayed here on Dec. 30th, came to Mobile for the Moon Pie drop, but came a day early so we could venture around and see some sights so we decided to try Dauphin Island. Got on the island after dark and were a little concerned - not much there or open - but we knew it was off-season and we thought it would be neat to wake up the next morning and be close to the water. So, we saw the sign for this motel and the front desk clerk was so friendly and welcoming - he let us look at the room first and wow, what a pleasant surprise! Room rate was $59 and was that a bargain. The room, on the second floor on the building next to the office, was spotless, freshly painted, bright, clean (I mean CLEAN) and spacious. Double beds, small table with 2 chairs, large bath, luxurious towels, fridge and coffeemaker. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not a luxury motel. But for what we paid, this was a great value. No hair dryer, no iron or ironing board, but it has the basics at a great price and like I said, was super super clean. We have stayed at hotels that were higher priced and had bath towels that were thin, but this motel had luxurious towels and washcloths. You can walk to the water on the bay, but are a block over from the gulf. This is an older motel, but our room was well kept.
