The Lodge at Gulf State Park, A Hilton Hotel

We absolutely loved the property. My son who’s 7, favorite spot was the new kids pool! The views were amazing! The hotel was FANTASTIC!

My only complaint is the fitness center. It was extremely small and most of the equipment was inoperable.

Hannah the manager was lovely & helpful

We loved walking out and having the choice of the pool or beach with in steps.

We enjoyed the pools and the access to the beach. We ate breakfast on-site at Foodcraft. The food was fine, but nothing I feel the need to return to in the future given the better options at a comparable price nearby. The AC stopped functioning in our room prior to bedtime, so we returned to a warm and humid room. It took three calls to guest services to get an answer and the response was both unhelpful and inaccurate. Three more calls went unanswered so I walked to the front desk to get help. It was determined that my options were to have repair people come to the room and potentially relocate us if they were unable to resolve the issue, or tough it out. Given that we were only staying one night and it was already late and we were exhausted, we opted to tough it out in the hopes it would cool enough to sleep. It didn't. Miserable night in a hotel with staff ill-equipped to deal with the situation dampened what was otherwise a great beachside stay.

Great hotel. Will be back. Everything was beautiful

New pool was beautiful and great for children.

Exceptional

The lodge was very nice. The staff didn’t tell us anything about the property when we arrived-the pool hours-breakfast yes or no-nothing. Our room was the last building about as far away as you can get from the lobby but not far from the pool or beach. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was hard and they only had feather pillows which I hate. We had a street view but couldn’t see out the window because it was so dirty. The pool side food was not good. Now about the parking. You have to park far away and there are no close by handicap parking either. I think my husband said 0.3 of a mile from our vehicle to our room. They do have valet but they looked covered up. All in all it had nice pools (one adult pool) and the beach wasn’t far.

The pool and beach areas are very nice. Food at the Dragonfly grill was good. However, our room was only serviced one day out of the four we were there. The beds were absolutely horrible, to the point we actually checked out a day early even though we had to still pay for the day. The bed linens looked clean but did not smell fresh.

A really nice hotel inside Gulf State Park. Minor little things that could be better, the dispenser next to bathroom sink should be a nice hand soap, not skin lotion. I was told there was a printer that I could use next to elevator, but that's not on 1st floor where we were....there is one on second floor, but there's no laptop or PC connected....kind of useless really. Food options are ok but not fantastic. Bikes are available, but using them requires more investigation than it should imho.

The Pool was great, The people who worked their were very nice...We had a blast

Property was awesome

Parking lot was a far walk from room. Everything else was awesome.

Perfect location on the beach, not super crowded. The pool was very refreshing with tasty treats and a cute little store there.

Very good

This was a perfect stay for our family. The room with the twin bunks and the king bed was wonderful and the location of the resort couldn’t have been better. It felt very private and secluded being by the state park, not overly crowded at all, and the beach was just steps away. We chose to venture out for dinner, so I can’t speak to the restaurants, but the Dragonfly was great for lunch and drinks. The pools were fun for a break from the beach and our kids (4 & 7) had the very best time. We will be back!

Amenities awesome. I do wish the chairs were in "adult " pool as opposed to "kid pool" but- Def am looking fwd to my next stay!

The parking is far but it didn’t bother us. When we checked in they didn’t give us much info about the place. Especially breakfast. We were very confused on if breakfast was included or not. The buffet breakfast is expensive. Our balcony neighbor kept smoking weed next to us so we let the staff know and they said they would handle it. Next day he did it again so my husband had to confront him. Nobody wants to smell that while we are relaxing on our balcony. Someone took our do not disturb sign off the door. Have no idea if it was staff. I understand them needing to come in to clean but we liked having it on there.

No issues at all. Great stay.
