Definitely will stay again!

I was supossed to stay 3 nights, but my trip got cut short due to a family emergency. The hotel was gracious and understanding about my situation. The 1 night I did stay, the room was clean, and roomy. The only complaint i have was the water pressure for the shower could be better. But the bathroom was spacious, and clean! Thank you again best western for a great stay! Definitely will stay there again when i visit Alabama again!

The property is under construction so we had some issues related to that. The breakfast was quite good. I'm guessing once they are done the place will be a better place to stay.

Hotel was ok for price

Last minute booking. Easy check in. Room smelled dirty but I think just old. Bath had small amount of mold around joints. Better cleaning would help. Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good with sausage and eggs and typical self serve. Overall ok just needs deep cleaning.

I am very disappointed with my stay here. I paid good money for a stay here, and the walls on floor 2 in the halls are missing Sheetrock like some work zone. Not what I was expecting for the money, brought my family along for the stay and very dissatisfied. The room has a bad smell also, sorry but not happy with the stay !
