Pair of men’s underwear left in room. Bathroom floor had long black hair around shower floor and a good bit of short black hair on the floor. Notified receptionist and she had it taken care of. Some trash left in the ice bucket. Not a real problem!!

A gem in Cottondale, AL.

The hotel was easy to reach...right off the interstate. Jennifer was very friendly and suggested the Mexican restaurant right across the street for dinner...translated The Blue Tequila. Food was so good & plentiful. The hotel was modern and clean. Coffee was always fresh and hot, made in a elaborate touchscreen coffee maker with the beans on top.

Overnight stay

Nice place. Just off the interstate but no road noise at all. Bed was good. Pillows were the usual marshmallow junk they put in hotel bedrooms but I want mine to be as firm as possible so that's a subjective opinion. Bedroom was very spacious. Overall a good experience.
