The pool was clean and a joy to swim in. The room had a shower but no bathtub. The hallways were a little dirty.

My wife and I just had a quick 1-night stay after attending a Crimson Tide football game. We had stayed here before with one of our grandsons and enjoyed that stay, thus the return. This hotel is away from the others and may not have the number of food options in close proximity as they might, but it's clean and quiet and still not too far out. If I had anything that might seem the least bit negative, it's the bed was not actually a queen size - a full-size maybe? Many, if not most, hotels do this with their bed descriptions though. I had prepaid for the room so check-in was quick and easy. Check-out was even faster. The hotel is only 2 stories so there's no elevator. If you're looking for a clean, quiet stay then this is the place. You'll probably save some money too.

They were very nice and happy to help with extra towels. The property is clean but no elevator which is inconvenient to haul luggage up the stairs. The walls are very thin and can hear hall and outside noise. Over all it was a clean place stay while visiting our son.

We absolutely LOVE this hidden gem! I traveled with my parents and both rooms were very nice. We will definitely be staying here going forward whenever we’re in the area. The place is so clean, smells amazing, staff members are very friendly and welcoming. We were there for graduation and staff were extremely helpful with assistance/directions about the University of Alabama. Thanks everyone for such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this hotel. Please give them a try you won’t regret it!!! See you again soon!

Hotel is newly renovated. It was very clean and nicely redone. The only complaint was the bed - although comfy, it was not a queen but a full size bed. My husband's feet hung off the end.

This is a renovated pretty clean modern decoded motel. Walls are thin & I got up at 2:00 am to call the front desk to get the neighbor’s tv turned down. No response, so I turned on the AC to drown out the noise. COLD & I kinda wish I knew how the movie ended. The bed is a full, not a queen, but comfy. Room is very small, but perfect is you are only here to sleep. Old cofee filter left in machine and the room smells like smoke after the spray wears off. We came back after dinner and drinks and my room smelled like smoke. He came in and sprayed again. Haven’t had breakfast yet. In summary, if you don’t care about the little details and need a clean room to sleep in at a cheap price. This is your place. If you are expecting quiet and comfort, then spend the money to go elsewhere.

While it did cost me more, I certainly appreciated his willingness and ability to help us out of the situation we faced. I will certainly return to this hotel in the future. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast while fairly simple was good. Location is pretty good - not so busy. Service was top notch.

We booked a double queen through Expedia because my daughter and grandkids were going to stay and visit family while we were driving back home. Then as checked in found out her family wasn’t going to be able to do as planned. So we were gonna go downstairs and tell them but as we entered the room which we then realized was a one queen bed room received a call saying we have too many guest. Yes we knew that hadn’t had the chance to get down to him to tell him yet as we just walked in as phone rang. And I told him also the room is wrong I booked a double queen he said I had not and I said I’m coming down anyways about the “other” guest we then had and the room. Got my receipt up and down to him he said I was right and gave us a new room and I told him the total of people and asked if I needed to pay a fee and was prepared to if needed. He said no. So he was watching us on a camera which I think it totally weird. And they are updating but it’s not quality updated. Downstairs is very nice when you walk in and the pool looked clean but it rained so we didn’t get to swim. It wasn’t horrible nor was it great. I don’t like being watched like that it’s creepy so I wouldn’t stay again due to that. But otherwise I would have. Definitely not a good area of town I will say.

Food options were limited on the breakfast but, I don't believe they have a kitchen on site but, they did a good job of trying to provide a variety of food. The staff was really nice, and the hotel is very clean and looks to have been a recently remodeled older property. For the price, I think the hotel is a great option. It's about a 15 minute drive to the University of Alabama and about an 8 minute drive to many food options.
