10/10 Exceptional

Great pass through stay

Verry helpfull ar gront desk is laminated paper with places that deliver to the hotel. Quick check in. We had an issue with the people above us jumping around late but the staff was quick to take care of the issue and was so apologetic.
Cristey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Musky smell throughout the motel. Room door dragged on floor so it couldn’t be opened all the way. Vanity area was very dark. Room was very humid even with the air conditioning on. Staff was very nice.
Dan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds were ok. Elevators need updated. Fine for a few nights stay!
Sydnee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well pleased! Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast! Would definitely recommend! Would absolutely stay again.
Sharon, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not Up to Speed

The hotel sign was out, so we weren’t totally sure of the place when we arrived. The first room had no hot water, so we had to change. The second room was okay, but the dispensers in the shower were empty and there was only one very small soap bar. This was a disappointing stay and we would not recommend it.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

a very convenient hotel easy off and on the highway.
Edward, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Just a very nice stay!!
Samuel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Bronson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was super friendly, and the room is bright, comfy, and clean. It’s right off the interstate, and we’re close to lots of dining options.
Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

excellent hotel, clean, quiet, good beds
Darko, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Don’t do it.

When I arrived at check-in, there was no one at the desk, me and another guest waited 5 to 10 minutes before someone showed up to check us in. I tried calling the property. The phone rang, but nobody answered. The cell phone in the room look like it had food stains all over it and nail polish spilt on the floor by the bed. The bathtub is cracked. The bed was OK, but that’s probably the only thing.

Will return!
Jade, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Out dated. Door barely closed. Did not feel safe. Charge to check in early even by 20 minutes. Lights are dim. Just wasnt pleasant.
Avory, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Raymond, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was off a long road
Lakeisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michael, 1-night trip

I was only there for a few hours hard to rate the property
Tammy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little to loud for 5 stars

Noise from the interstate was loud and the room noise from adjacent rooms was loud as well.
Marjorie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Brittany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Maintenance needed.

Only had one ice machine and it was broken. Faucet dripped all night. Sink drain stopper did not work. There was hair all in the bathroom. Tried to call the desk and the phone did not work.
