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.

Review

The only problem we had was it seemed like the tub was going to fall through the floor. The tub floor was very soft and had a crack in it when we checked in. Of course it was not discovered until shower time. Other than that it was an excellent stay and we will definitely stay 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.
