toilet seat missing screw. Shower lever came off when I turned it. Place desperately needs capital improvements. I guess you get what you pay for

The bed was hard, no coffee maker in room, bath towel was stained, bathroom door frame showed signs of water damage and substandard repair, and no hot water. All that being said it served my purpose for a one night stay on an expensive University of Alabama weekend.

Very clean. Staff was cordial and helpful. Bed was hard as a rock but slept well second night. No USB plug in entire room. Think 1980 decorum. TV, Refrigerator, Microwave... Convenient.

For a Budget inn and the price, it is a good deal. Rooms are a little outdated but the linens are clean, the air conditioners work great and are loud enough to drown out the major thoroughfare. Clean property, friendly staff and safe and secure.

Almost everything I can hope for in a budget minded hotel. Comfortable room, good AC, nice TV with DirecTV, good water pressure and plenty of hot water, quiet, no bad smells in the room, comfortable bed with nice bed coverings and pillows. Only small negatives - room was clean and swept but floor could have been mopped a little more and no ice machine. But would happily stay there again.

I was looking for a clean room and good bed and AC for a few days and it fit perfectly. Tv was a little small but it didn’t really matter.

We were put in a terrible room in the back corner with a view of old toilets. The a/c wasn’t on. The door didn’t fit you could see light all the way around it. There was dirty underwear behind the bathroom door. Mattress was terrible. I just left. I msg the hotel and they did offer to switch me but I was already out. They could keep my money. Why put a person in such a room to begin with. The upside the staff was very friendly

Granted, it is an older property, but it is also very budget friendly. The room was quite spacious and suited our needs perfectly. Definitely worth taking a look at if you were budget conscious and just want something that is clean and in a good location. Front desk service was very congenial with our late check in. Friendly staff.

Toilet when flushed would back up and almost overflow, then after 30 minutes you could try to flush again to no avail. The bed was like sleeping on a piece of plywood. I slept better in some of the places i was in in Iraq and Afghanistan in the desert!
