Great service. Not great room.
Room was non smoking but smelt like smoke and all the bed linens had cigarette holes in them and discoloration. Towels were discolored. Was an accessible room and I almost slipped on the flooring multiple times just wearing socks. Bathroom had hair and dead beds all over the floor, counter, and shower floor. Appliances in the room were discolored and dirty and looked like they would start an electrical fire. Zero plugs to charge a phone except in the bathroom were free for use. Could not get comfortable and was afraid to sleep in the covers. Parking lot stayed well lit however many cars came in and out throughout the night where guests and non guests just lingered in the lot chatting. Felt very unsafe. Staff however were very friendly both in the evening and in the morning and I wish the room reflected the same.

Great stay! Will be using them again! Rooms are clean and housekeeping does an excellent job of changing out trash daily, providing clean towels daily and making the bed daily.

First time in Alabama so i did not know this establishment was worse than a motel 6. I think i would have been safer at a motel 7. There was handprints and blood on our bed and walls. I thought it was a joke at first. It’s the worse place i have ever stayed at. It was only for one night because we left the second night. I would not ever come back- even if it was free. The establishment was worse the one can imagine. Roaches, blood on wall, handprints on bed, holes on wall, fridge was leaking. And when we walked outside - someone offered to pay for sex. I nearly ran home.

The hotel is obviously old and not very well kept. However, it was the only hotel that was close to being affordable for a football weekend. We weren't in the room that much, so it was fine. The area ain't great...

The staff was nice however the room was horrible. The floors and walls were filthy. The towels were stained. The toilet was running after every flush. The tv was tiny and didn’t work at first. When I went to call room service, the phone was broken and didn’t work. The staff quickly fixed the tv so at least that was good. Oh and no blow dryer. Totally unsatisfactory especially for the price I paid to stay there. NEVER AGAIN!
