The hotel was clean but a little worn. Breakfast was good and the breakfast area was spacious. It was very convenient to my family. The room was comfortable and had all i needed. I have stayed here before and would stay here again.

One drippy night
The air conditioner had been left off in the room in August. Upon our arrival, it was extremely humid and very warm. The floors and walls had condensation on them, and even the sheets felt wet. It was like the carpet had just been cleaned and the room left closed up sopping wet.

Won't stay there again..
Employee at check in was not friendly at all, bordered rude. Pet friendly hotel and there was a barking dog 2 doors down a screaming crying toddler banging on the wall next door. Room smelled horrble like pet urine. Bed & pillows were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had a lot of choices but didnt taste good. Check out employee was just as unfriendly as check in person was.

Great staff, poor accommodations.
The hotel is Almost nice. The following is my concerns.
1) Shower drain clogged
2) Refrigerator hummed and had a headache the 1st night
3) 3rd floor hallway had food on it my entire stay
4) Mold on muffin from dining room
5) Pork sausage over cooked
6) Entrance area trashy
7) Only 1 luggage cart for 4 floors
Management needs to have a more active roll at property.

Out of the way stay in Birmingham
They put us in the incorrect room, king room instead of two queen bed rooms, didn’t know until I went into the room. Didn’t try to change the room because it was late and we fit.
There was no TV remote or coffee maker in the room.
In the bathroom only one mirror light worked.
The floor/carpet felt damp.
It was in a nice off path type of place, the people were nice but busy.
