I travel to Foley, AL area on business multiple times throughout the year and have stayed in dozens of hotels there. I was attracted to this TownePlace Suites by the price, and its access to Gulf Shores, where I was conducting business. So, let me just say you get what you pay for! I should have known.
I am a Marriott Bonvoy member and stay at Marriott hotels frequently. So, I can't believe Marriott lets this hotel bear its name!
The bedding, linens, countertops, bathroom, etc., were very clean. However, the carpet and floors were filthy!!! I was so glad I packed sandals to wear. because I would NEVER let my feet touch the carpeting in the room - it was that bad! The furnishings are good, but the mattress was uncomfortable, worn out, and needs replacing. Additionally, there is no shower door in the shower enclosure - just a glass wall covering half of the shower. So, no matter how careful you are, you flood the bathroom floor with water to mop with the limited towels the hotel stingily hands out. I was there for three nights, and they don't service the rooms until you leave.
On the positive side, the hotel staff was GREAT; they were friendly and accommodating. The lobby area was clean and attractive. The breakfast is GREAT. Parking availability is easy and abundant. So, the "public areas are fantastic, but the 'private" rooms - not so much.
My work will continue taking me to the Foley area with frequency. However, this is the first and LAST time I will stay at this hotel.
