Thank you for your feedback. We strive for 100% guest satisfaction at the Holiday Inn Express in Gulf Shores, AL. We do see that you paid travelocity.com directly for your reservation, which is a 3rd party company. At check in we request the card used to book the room and at that time we inform you there will be a $20 incidental authorization that will fall off as soon as you check out with us. Sometime banks will hold this $20 for a few days but in this case you would need to contact your bank and inform them there is an authorization that has been released from the company holding it and that it is still pending. Ask your bank when you can expect this authorization to be released. We apologize if this was not explained clearly at check in nor stated clearly on your confirmation email. We will make sure all of our agents are informing each guest of the incidental hold more clearly upon arrival. Thank you again for your feedback and please feel free to call us with any questions.

The breakfast is great. The coffee and the beds and pillows are heaven! I recommend a suite.

Great breakfast. Beds are very comfortable but a little high for short people. Masking tape around the bottom of bad tub. Overall a good stay.

Very convenient hotel

This hotel was perfect for our stay. We have a 18 month old so we needed a fridge and microwave in out room so it was nice that those hotel had these in every room. Rooms were very spacious so our toddler was able to run around and play. It was perfectly close to everything. The beach was literally 1 mile down the road. Plant of stores around the hotel. Overall yes I would stay there again Thank you

Great hotel, very clean.

The hotel was amazing. It had a free hot breakfast, smelled great and was very clean. It was about a mile from the public beach and right in the middle of everything you could want to do. We actually chose this hotel over one that was beach front because of the reviews and I am glad we did. This was definitely the best hotel stay I have ever had the pleasure of having.
