This is generally a nice hotel and one of the better ones in Irondale, AL. It is conveniently located near restaurants and off a main street. They offer complimentary breakfast and WiFi. During the my last visit, I unfortunately found a stain in my bedsheet and the bathroom exhaust fan was making a really loud noise.

It's a good base for us as we were visiting the Barber Motorcycle museum in Irondale/Leeds areas and its a short drive to the airport as well. The hotel is basically a transit stop for travellers and truck drivers and the staff are good. They have complimentary coffee and breakfast was OK if a bit limited and you have food options close to the hotel and a Walmart store about 10mins walking distance.

Hotel inside needs remodeling, carpet dirty in halls, first room carpet was wet and room smelled, moved to another room which had no carpet but room really smelled mildewed and bleach, chair was filthy. The tub did not drain well. 6” of water while trying to shower. The building is not kept up. Outside was fine. Will never recommend or stay at this hotel again.
