Hotel recommendations near Oriskany

SteveC · Dec 31, 2007

We are planning on diving the Oriskany this summer, and are looking for hotels in the area. We will have a couple of non-divers and would like a place that is on the beach so they will have something to do. Does anyone have any hotel recommendations? Preferably on the not too expensive side.

Who are You Diving with?
You can go out of Orange Beach, Al as well as Pensacola.

We haven't decided on a dive op yet either. So those recomendations are welcome also.

I always stay at the Courtyard in Pensacola. It is right off the Interstate, and an easy drive to the boat in the morning. I usually dive with MBT Divers out of Pensacola.

This is a good link to the area Gulf Shores Alabama - Orange Beach - Alabama Gulf Coast Vacations or Orange Beach Vacation Rental Search

You would not be dissapointed in Orange Beach.

Thanks for all in the info so far. My only thoughts on the dive boat are I’m kinda leaning towards the larger boats. I have a back problem, and the bouncing of the smaller boats can jar it pretty bad.
So far I haven’t found any beach side hotels for under $300 per night. That just seems a little crazy, since you can get a nice all-inclusive resort in Mexico for less than that.
I checked out Beachside Resort Hotel which is about half that price, but there not exactly right on the beach, but probably close enough for the non-divers.

Here are some that are on the beach fot a lot less. Gulf Shores Orange Beach Condo Rentals Brett/Robinson
You can get on one of the Cat Style 6 pk and get a GREAT ride (ours included) Just a thought.

Steve, All hotels below are directly on Pensacola Beach. Depending on the time of year they can be expensive but not no $300.00 a night. The Daisy D. is docked close to all of these hotels and is a comfortable ride, No worries about jaring your back. let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
