Easy to access to various restaurants and shops on foot. Hotel room stinks and filthy, so I had to spray two bottles of deodorants. My door lock opens even without a card key, so I had to carry my note book in my sack bag whenever I step out of the room.

The room wasn’t as bad, it truly wasn’t dirty. I just wiped down and brought my own sheets just in case but honestly it was pretty clean! The staff was nice, there was breakfast like cereal and a waffle maker and coffee but we didn’t use it. There was restaurant and shopping really close which was nice. We stayed here to go to the talladega race, it was only an hour from the race track and we were able to take back roads to miss traffic. Overall a great stay for a short weekend trip! We’d stay again for the race next year!

You get what you pay for. If cheap is what you desire, then yes this will be a good place. Just remember, you get what you paid for. Me personally. I enjoyed the fact I didn't have to drive all over to find my room. Love these type of secured rooms instead of the long walks type, if that makes sense!

This place is absolutely disgusting and my family refused to sleep there! There were cigarette burns on both beds/comforters, cobwebs, blood on blankets, and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in no telling how long! This place would be the spot if you were looking for a place to take a hooker!!
