Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We requested 1st floor which was accomodated but we were in room 111 which is right next to where the ice machine is, the noise is tremendous for the ice and it starts at 430 am or so, very hard to sleep, do not stay in this room or anywhere close to it if you want to sleep. The brrakfeast had pretty much the exact same food everyday and we were there for 3 days, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy everyday, could substitute bacon a day here and there. Also the bathroom floor in our room was very slick, nearly fell and broke my neck. The location was great, was clean, friendly staff, anything that was wrong with our stay could be easily fixed by management.

Hulda

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room condition was subpar, the staff was very nice. There were stains on the shower curtain. Towels were not completely white and you can tell they've been used. The TV didn't work other than your regular channels but they said they're in the process of changing out the TV's and so not everything was set up. They cleaned the room in everyday as far as I know so someone is cleaning the room, so I'm not sure about the stains. I probably wouldn't stay here again as I didn't feel super comfortable after seeing the stains but it's close to Walmart and some food places and 20 minutes from the Birmingham botanical garden

The room was adequate for one night. It wasn’t necessarily the cleanest room and the bathroom smelled like smoke. There was also a hair extension located in the corner of the room.
