Blood on mirror and wall, non smoking room but yet reeked of smoke. Dead roaches, cigarette burns in blankets. We left and lost money. Couldn’t sleep here.
The guy who worked the front desk was really kind and polite. Anything we needed it was handled quickly and efficiently. There was no issues from any of the staff or the room itself.
Sheets on the bed had blood stains on them and even tho they came and clean room they didn’t even change sheets. Will not stay at this place again.

Very run down room. Paid for a non smoking room, but it smelled of cigarettes. Floors were damp. Won’t go back.

Great price but dated
The staff was very accommodating. They helped us out when some in our party arrived early. VERY pleasant at the front desk!
The hotel is somewhat dated. Really could use a renovation. Old doors and worn fixtures look dirty, but it was clean. There was an old, stagnant smell in the room.
Oddly, the clock in the room is set to run 30 minutes fast. Housekeeping was coming through the door at 9:30 when check out is at 10:00. I wondered if that was intentional.
We felt safe and the price was right for us at the time.
Did not clean room bring clean towels take away dirty towels did not empty garbage did not make bed there was no excuse I will never stay there again I will report this Alabama authorities
Me and my friend booked a room to stay here for rock the south, we checked in late thursday night/friday morning after the concert. we originally booked to stay until saturday but after the weather turned out to be super rainy we decided to check out friday morning and just go home after friday nights concert. i went down to the lobby after packing up that morning and let them know i was checking out, they informed me i couldnt get my second night refunded even though i literally only spent 9 hours total in this room. so i spent 300$ for one night in a at best 2 star hotel, the room we stayed in was so hot when we got in there in took hours to cool down, the bathroom wasnt all that clean either.
The room was clean, but very much in need of care. There were cracks in the wall, vanity mirror was shattered, toilet tank top was cracked through, and the water would not shut off in the tub. Son went down to the ice machine to get ice and there was a homeless person camped out in there. The front desk called the police to remove them but by then we were done.

The fridge and air in the room didn’t not work great and 2 of the plugs would not work.
There was nothing to like about this place. The door had a huge crack all the way around it. The bathroom door didn’t shut. The toilet paper holder was ripped off the wall and tossed on the back of the toilet. The mirror and one lamp were both broken. The microwave and fridge didn’t work. The crack in the door combined with our AC caused the room to become so humid that the sheets and our clothes were damp. Absolutely the WORST hotel experience I’ve ever had.
We had to leave in the middle of the night and go somewhere else because of the cockroaches. I killed a couple at first, looked around and couldn't see anymore but once the lights went out they came from behind the picture on the wall, the headboards of the bed, and there were 3 on the nightstand. I called the front office and asked for a room change or bug spray. They couldn't find the cockroach spray and said they couldn't promise a room without them. He said they have been treating them but can't get on top of the situation. It wasn't A bug, it's infested. My 6 month old grand daughter was with us. It was a nightmare.
