There was construction going on in the lobby, so it made it quite difficult to tune out the noise, as my room was on the first floor. However, the staff was very nice and polite and quickly checked me in and out. The location was convenient to I-20 for travel purposes. I did not try the continental breakfast.

Great stay super comfortable room and bed … listing says there was a pool and was not which was disappointing but overall highly recommend… breakfast could use some warm foods but it was still pretty good (cereal,bagels, muffins, yogurt, and oatmeal) staff was super friendly….highly recommend this hotel if your needing a place to stay close to interstate.

The decor in the sleeping rooms was updated and fresh. The entrance and dining space were under construction and made it more difficult to register and eat. The staff at the front desk was especially helpful.

It was clean and quiet. Was not happy with the fact that I called before booking to make sure there was a pool and they lied and told me there was. There is no pool! Only a gazebo and chairs.

After check in, we had plan to go swimming after the web site said it was available with the hours listed. When we asked about it, we were told that it was made into a patio. We were disappointed and will not stay there again.

I wouldn’t stay here again if someone paid me. Was driving through Alabama and was getting late and this one was on Expedia with pretty good reviews. Check in was pretty smooth. Do charge a $150 deposit which is a bit expensive considering the larger chains may do 75 at most, but all good-just wanted to note. Get to second floor and immediately smells of weed. By our door is a huge air machine outside as though it’s drying the carpet and the main window is open. Was pretty loud but luckily I couldn’t hear it once we closed our hotel room door. The minute we step into that room, I would have left had everything not been sold out. The carpets were so filthy. The bathroom-dirt all over the tile, long black hairs all over the entry of the shower. The worst part was the huge streak of what looked like dried poop across the bathroom door. Took pictures of all as I couldn’t believe it was in this condition. All the light figures has broken panels but at least the lights worked. One of my sons pillows had stains all over the pillow case. The one positive-the bed was soft. We didn’t even get showers the next morning as there’s no way we could have stepped foot in that. Just baffled what the deposit was for because that room was in the worst shape. Only other positive-hotel is near a bunch of food places and all are walkable.

We booked a room for our daughter who was traveling, and she called us very upset because at check-in she discovered the sheets had black hair in them and stains. She requested to move to another room because she felt the sheets were not clean, and the second room smelled of mold and had toe nail clippings on the floor beside the night stand. There apparently needs to be higher standards for cleaning methods used to clean the rooms at this hotel. She was afraid of bed bugs and having unclean sheets is not acceptable. We didn’t even attempt to get a refund.

Receptionist could not assist with operation of TV. Advised that we'd have to wait until next day for hotel maintenance to assist. We were only staying one night. Assigned room was on the ground floor, which was nice. The laundry room was right across the hall and the employees started work very early which didn't allow a late wakeup.

This motel is very clean and well maintained. There is an elevator. We were allowed to bring our bikes up the elevator and into the room. The room we got however was very small even though I told the man on check in we were bringing in bikes. My assumption is that they only have small rooms.(?) We were able to manage around the 2 bikes, but can’t recommend for people wanting over 1 bike in the room. Even though small, the bathroom had a wonderful shower, etc. but grab a towel before going in! Beds were clean and pretty comfortable. Breakfast had biscuits and gravy, sausage, waffles, cereal, and also a few grab and go like danish that were good. The dining area is also very small so eat early.

The accommodations were just moderately satisfactory overall. Our room TV was not operable and they were unable to fix it over a two-day period. Did not offer to change our room, but did give us a discount for the inconvenience. Buffet breakfast was well below satisfactory. Probably would not return to this hotel with others available in the immediate proximity.

Everything was awesome but I really just think you guys should add more or change some breakfast options like adding whole milk (oat milk was great for people who can’t have normal milk), eggs, more cereal, waffles, and syrup. These are staples, almost. And there may have been lice or some mini bug in one of my towels so that was a little worrisome, so just check into that a bit about the cleaning.
