Person at check in was very nice but had not been trained. He had to call someone and ask for help many times. I made reservations for two but the bathroom only had one wash rag and one coffee cup. Sink had a large crack, otherwise room was clean. Hotel sat in a wooded area so was very quiet. Probably won’t book it again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room condition was subpar, the staff was very nice. There were stains on the shower curtain. Towels were not completely white and you can tell they've been used. The TV didn't work other than your regular channels but they said they're in the process of changing out the TV's and so not everything was set up. They cleaned the room in everyday as far as I know so someone is cleaning the room, so I'm not sure about the stains. I probably wouldn't stay here again as I didn't feel super comfortable after seeing the stains but it's close to Walmart and some food places and 20 minutes from the Birmingham botanical garden

This is a no-frills kind of place, but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is super convenient, right off the freeway with free parking. My room was clean, the shower had great water pressure, and the hot breakfast, while simple, was a nice way to start the day. The staff were courteous and helpful, and I appreciated that they had good disposable toothbrushes available when I forgot mine. I would definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

We requested 1st floor which was accomodated but we were in room 111 which is right next to where the ice machine is, the noise is tremendous for the ice and it starts at 430 am or so, very hard to sleep, do not stay in this room or anywhere close to it if you want to sleep. The brrakfeast had pretty much the exact same food everyday and we were there for 3 days, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy everyday, could substitute bacon a day here and there. Also the bathroom floor in our room was very slick, nearly fell and broke my neck. The location was great, was clean, friendly staff, anything that was wrong with our stay could be easily fixed by management.

This property was outdated, and you can tell that whoever the owner is, is definitely a tight wad. They were being stingy with the towels and wash cloths, giving me only 2 of each and I stated that we had 4 guest in our group. There was a crack in the tub, and my husband thought he was going to fall through. The property is also located at the top of a hill, that it looks like you’re going into a scene of the Adam’s Family and the landscaping is not the best either. I will say that breakfast was okay, and they did try to decorate a bit for the Fall Season.
