Room was not cleaned properly as dust was on most places, toilet underneath rim was visible unclean, the luggage dollies were covered with pet hairs and unclean covering. This was our worst experience with a hotel and IHG.

We were unable to get the room we reserved. We reserved a king room and ended up with 2 double beds. Had i known a king room was not available, we would have chosen a different locating.

Good stay

I stayed at a different hotel different that usual when I traveled to AL recently. It is an older hotel but nicely maintained. Clean linens, clean bathroom, friendly staff. I like that room includes kitchenette area. I wasn't expecting the $75.00 refundable deposit required at check in (perhaps this was required because I booked through a hotel booking site & not directly with hotel). I disliked my room being located right outside the elevators. I could've requested a different room but opted not to. Also the hotel clerk informed me there was no complimentary breakfast served. I liked them having a "store" to purchase food & drink items. Hotel is centrally located to shopping places, restaurants, & other entertainment. Overall good stay, would likely recommend to others & stay again.

We stayed two nights and the over all stay was good. The guest service was extremely nice and helpful. However, the water pressure in the shower was HORRIBLE, my daughter and I had to literally rinse our hair under the bath faucet. We couldn’t change the settings on the shower faucet so it was just droplets of water coming out. The second night the microwave and refrigerator quit working, and it was steaming hot in our room.

Must have flooded, the whole time we stayed the first floor had fans blowing, you couldn’t even hear yourself think. They were repaving the parking lot and so parking kept changing and it was hard to find a spot. And our room felt and smelled damp!
