Alabama Boutique Hotel: #4 with Standing Balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Property was clean, and just as advertised. Operator responded when we reached out at arrival. You need to understand that in any multi-tenant property with absentee operators, you are totally at the mercy of the folks staying in adjoining and nearby rooms. The place was packed with folks that listened to loud music in their rooms until about 3:00am. We wound-up leaving a day early because the folks in nearby rooms would not hold the noise down after 10:00pm."

Alabama Boutique Hotel: #3 w/ bunkbeds sleeping 3

8/10 Good

"Nice place for guys trip, like a dorm room, not cheap but may be because of when we rented. Nice host and great location for Alabama football games."
