Decent Hotels/Motels near the pier?

Thanks guys!

BDL, I usually stay in pcola. There are plenty of hotels in the $50 range. Go up into the $60 and you can stay in some really nice places. The hotel's arounD GS have priced themselves into the condo range for the most part. Staying in pcola gives some options for fishing....30 minutes to Navarre or Gulf Shores with pcola pier an option, too. The wife is usually with me, which makes me consider a short trip on days when she has plans. All of the quality inns are nice. The one by the military base is handy to get to GS and is often in the 50's.

Hey Geauxyo! If you are really looking for cheap stay, I have 3 beds in my rv that are not used.

Thanks for the offer sralman308...might be hard to explain to my wife though. LOL!

use VRBO.com if you are staying for very long and want to be able to cook food. My Dad and I stayed last spring at the Microtel up the highway before you get to the bridge on the way to the beach. The only negative we had about the place was we had a hard time getting ice (there was a softball tournament or something and they only had 1 working ice machine in our part of the hotel).

VRBO will be better if you want something a little larger and especially if you want to cook meals, since most hotels won't have a stove/oven in the room.

Agree with everyone saying use VRBO. I always use them when booking down there. If a view isn't important, a 1 br/1 ba will probably cost you less than a hotel and have a kitchen to cook all the fish you catch.
