"Rooms are always clean, orderly, and well stocked with the personal hygiene items you would expect. The beds are very comfortable, and if I could buy a couple of the pillows I absolutely would! Breakfast is always hot, well cooked, and plentiful, with a good variety. And the coffee is arguably the best of any hotel I’ve stayed at yet. Whenever I travel to the Madison/Huntsville area, this is my first choice place to stay."
