It's Clean! This always comes first. Second, it was close to where I needed to go and not in a sketchy neighborhood. I have stayed at this location twice and both times were great.

A very clean and safe place to stay. My only complaint was the parking lot exit/entrance which could only be accessed by or granted access in one direction, requiring me to make u-turns each day no matter which direction I went or returned from, but this isn’t something the hotel has control over, just a note about the general accessibility of the area. The hotel was perfect for my needs. Stayed four nights to attend training at Auburn University and the hotel was comfortable and the provided amenities worked great. No issues checking in or out.

The hotel overall is nice and newer. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. They allowed me to get the room I requested, really grateful. The room itself is very small but the bed was really comfortable and clean. The floors were not well vacuumed or mopped, needed a good cleaning and little black spots removed. The desk counter in the room had not been wiped down; still had prints from previous guests. The AC was so loud, but did cool quite well. The entry, hallways and elevator have a musty smell and smell odor but some is just from breakfast food. One treadmill (the left one) was not working at all! Otherwise a decent workout room. Breakfast was decent and nice setup. But…the COFFEE was some of the best I’ve ever had! Fantastic and tasty!
