Bathroom had dirty towels hanging on the door from the previous individual who stayed there. The lobby going down to the elevator, trash and towels, sitting there for more than one day. Front desk staff looked like they rolled out of bed.

Best Stay in Bessemer
Friendliest staff I have ever encountered. Thorough in explaining what the hotel had to offer, including complimentary cold and room temp bottles of water as well as a delicious continental breakfast. Waffle bar was delicious, as were the sausage, Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs with cheese, and fancy juice and coffee machines. Room was lacking a few wash rags that were not available upon request. Otherwise, we had a great stay.

We had reservations here and called for 2 hours before arrival and no one ever answered. Contacted EXPEDIA and they attempted to call and no one answered. Arrived and the area was unsafe - people congregating in the parking lot smoking pot and unkempt people sleeping in lobby. No one ever came to the desk. Contacted EXPEDIA re: new reservation and REFUND. EXPEDIA stated 3 days later that hotel refused refund. I doubt EXPEDIA ever reached a person. Dissapponted with EXPEDIA as they have been helpful in the past. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY HERE.

Nice stay
The stay was great. There was a little confusion on my rate. However, the Manager intervened and the issue was resolved. The maid was a little tardy in dropping off additional towels, after requesting a couple times. Have to compliment the “breakfast buffet attendant” she went over and beyond in accommodating me and others daily. Overall nice stay.

Staff was nice. Hotel on average was clean in appearance. There was some sort of smell that wasn’t pleasant in the facility. We had to change rooms due to a backed up toilet upon our arrival. I heard another guest tell the staff that he had to cut off the water supply in his room due to the faucet being broken.
