The property was very outdated, and almost everything was broken. The ice machine wasn’t working, the bathroom shower was leaking and caused wet floors, and the AC didn’t cool the room properly. The room floor was stained and smelled like urine—smh. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the staff, especially the person who checked me in—they were kind and professional. However, I paid for a room with two beds, and at the last minute, they told me they had to switch me to a different room because the one I booked wasn’t available. Very disappointing overall.

Out of the way stay in Birmingham

They put us in the incorrect room, king room instead of two queen bed rooms, didn’t know until I went into the room. Didn’t try to change the room because it was late and we fit. There was no TV remote or coffee maker in the room. In the bathroom only one mirror light worked. The floor/carpet felt damp. It was in a nice off path type of place, the people were nice but busy.

The property should have backup power for when the lights go out for hours. The Checkin process was very slow. I waited on others to be served. The sheet had a print of some type on it when I pulled back the covers. I stay here on occasions. It was the worst experience I had.

Please Don’t

Though the customer service was nice, the condition of the rooms were terrible. The carpet was dirty, the A/C made a whistling noise, and dirty water back up into the tub after taking a shower (see pic). When we inquired about vacuuming, one of the housekeeper stated they didn’t have a working vacuum and complained she had requested one several times without a response. Disappointed and won’t be staying here again. The halls had a weird, wet, musky smell.

Worst hotel stay ever!!!!

I typically don’t leave reviews, but this stay was beyond unacceptable. From the moment we checked in, it was clear the hotel does not prioritize cleanliness or guest experience. There were cobwebs throughout the room, crumbs left on the nightstand, and the floors looked like they hadn’t seen a vacuum in weeks. The pillows were stained, the bathroom was small and poorly maintained, and to top it off, the entire room had a bad odor. We had issues with room keys not working, which forced us to check in to two different rooms — both equally disappointing. The breakfast area wasn’t any better — flies everywhere, dirty eating sections, and the pancake machine was broken. The final straw was the power outage overnight. The hotel had no backup generators, leaving us without power, lights, or air for hours. Completely unacceptable, especially when paying for a safe and comfortable stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It was dirty, disorganized, and poorly managed. Spend your money elsewhere. Videos can be provided

Upon arrival at the property, I found that the internet and phone lines were down. The pool was also green and out of service. There was trash overflowing from the trash cans onto the ground. After learning about all the issues the hotel was having, including the unavailability of Wi-Fi and the pool, this was not the place to stay. Additionally, nowhere in our booking did it mention these would be unavailable. I canceled the room.

Check in was a breeze, however our room was stuffy and smelled like mildew/ musty. I had mildew/ mold on my pillow. Went to the front desk to complain, got two replacement pillows; one of the replacement pillows had it on there as well. The pool was down, which was one of the perks we were wanting when we booked this establishment. Bathtub was dinghy, hairs everywhere, and just an all around terrible stay. We have a child that is asthmatic and an adult with allergies, we were comped for one night. Another individual not with our party, complained to us about his room and having mold/ mildew on two of his pillows as well. Honestly wouldn’t recommend
