Before booking, I called to double-check if the hotel had an indoor pool since I was traveling with two kids and that was a must for us. The Expedia representative assured me it did. When we arrived, we found out there was no pool at all. The person I spoke to was completely wrong — and that was so disappointing and frustrating, especially after I made my decision based on that information.

I didn’t have AC in my room for two days. Then, they tried to give another room to make up for it, and that room hadn’t been cleaned. There was water damage on the second floor and they didn’t bother to clean it up. There were cobwebs everywhere. They definitely need more housekeeping staff.

This property appeared to be very new and well kept. The breakfast was very nice and all the staff was pleasant and helpful. Therefore I hate to give a bad review, but we found a dead roach underneath our suitcase as we left. But our main complaint was that the air conditioner seems to be programmed to only cool to 74°, which was way too warm for us to sleep well, since we keep our bedroom AC at 65° at home.

Hotel is very new, clean, and in a great location. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was incredibly good and is worth staying there for. The only problem we had was noise. Hallway noise, doors slamming, next door and above floor neighbors were loud and there is no buffer. Would stay here again as pros outweigh the con but it was hard to sleep.

It was close to most attractions. The breakfast was better selection than most but the bathroom facet almost came off the wall when used. The lighting was not wired correctly so you had to turn on wall before bathroom. It was very clean.

Very rude front desk and staff. Our room that I booked a week a head of time for our family of six was not available when we drove 6 hours to stop for the night. When I requested a refund she said that I would need Expedia to call so they called and the denied refund. When I called back several times to speak to management she hung up on me and asked me to quit calling the facility. She told me several times she was about to lose her sh** on me. I never received a refund and had to find a last minute hotel for my family of six. Marriott of Huntsville was a lifesaver for the night.

My son and I stayed there for a week. We came to Huntsville to play the RTJ golf courses for fall break. Amazing staff. I wanted a hotel that was not too expensive, fairly new or newly renovated and in the middle of town. This place was perfect. The staff was amazing and so courteous. Sandi at the front desk made me feel like I was at a bed and breakfast. It was easy to get in/out of and the price was just right. If I go back to Huntsville I’m staying here without a doubt.

They gave us the wrong room and told us the room I had paid for was already booked. So I got a very small room with two queen beds and they squeezed in one of those folded beds as a 3 rd bed. There was no room to move around it was very uncomfortable. The bathroom was not very clean. No housekeeping came by the entire stay. We had to go up to the front desk everyday to ask for toiletry. No one came to take out trash. The only good thing about this hotel is the cooks that serve breakfast are very friendly and went above and beyond to serve us. I asked if I was going to be charged for the same rate since I got a different room. I was told I was going to be reimbursed but still haven’t received a refund.

Upon arrival (3 hrs before checkin) I was told the hotel was overbooked and couldn’t honor our reservations. That was unacceptable so they found me a one bed room, I reserved a room with 2 queen beds and a pull out. I pushed and finally got two beds (not 3 as reserved). The computer system was not cooperating so it took them more than and hour to get me checked in.

This hotel was easy to find and convenient to many restaurants. The only issue we had was on Friday morning, June 28, 2024 in the breakfast room. There was a lot of people in the breakfast; however, there was not hardly any food. The poor lady filling and cleaning could not keep with refills because of all the people. She did the best she could. It would seem that if the hotel is full, yáll might consider more food preparation. Thank you.

Friendly check in, clean room, great breakfast option, machine the grinds coffee fresh per cup, plenty of seating for breakfast. Only downside having little kids was the hand soap was mounted in a bottle on the wall way out of reach of kids (6 year old could not reach it), besides that room was great and Dove products in bathroom were greatly appreciated.
