Very Good

I liked the property. It sits away from the freeway and in a wooded area. It was nice and quiet. The room was extremely clean the hotel was clean the issue was the unit did not cool very well in the room and it's summer time. The breakfast was good.
Well pleased! Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast! Would definitely recommend! Would absolutely stay again.

First room we were given hadn’t been cleaned. They swapped us to another room next door. Went to the pool and no towels, after we were told the pool towels were at the pool. Went back in to get pool towels and was given ONE. “So sorry, that’s all we have” is literally what I was told as I was being handed the towel.
Breakfast was typical hotel

1st time stay!
We were in town for the Magic City Mimosa Festival and needed a place to stay for the night. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were nice and clean. The front desk agent was nice and very helpful. And the hotel was in a nice and quiet area. I look forward to staying at this location again.
The staff was very friendly upon check-in. The room was clean and well kept.
Very convenient to the interstate, restaurants, and shopping. Close to Birmingham, but far enough away from the city traffic.
For a reasonably priced, interstate hotel, this was great. Rooms were clean. Staff was so nice. Breakfast was simple, very good, plentiful, and well staffed--normal pastries, juices, and cereals eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, waffles, grits, fruit, etc. The property was in good shape. TY for a great experience.
The front desk attendant was very friendly. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was perfect for a quick meal before our drive

Liked: Room comfort
No one cleaned coffee maker in our room before we arrived. Strange bathroom configuration.
