The staff was very friendly upon check-in. The room was clean and well kept.
Very convenient to the interstate, restaurants, and shopping. Close to Birmingham, but far enough away from the city traffic.

The staff was super friendly, and the room is bright, comfy, and clean. It’s right off the interstate, and we’re close to lots of dining options.

The first room they provided smelled like mold. The second room the toilet stopped up and we had to plunged it ourselves. Lastly, i paid for late check out, they harassed me by knocking on the door three times and calling me to make sure i paid $10.00 extra. I will never stay there again.

Best part was it didn't have unnecessary lights and windows that kept you from sleeping and the water pressure and shower head for my husband was to die for .

It was great except for the light outside shining in through the thin curtains. Kind of hard to sleep but other than that it was a great place to stay and the breakfast was awesome

The only problem we had was it seemed like the tub was going to fall through the floor. The tub floor was very soft and had a crack in it when we checked in. Of course it was not discovered until shower time. Other than that it was an excellent stay and we will definitely stay again.
