The staff were so nice and helpful! We were arriving super late and asked for the A/C to be turned down before our arrival and they were more than happy to oblige. The room was super clean and the beds were comfy too! Would definitely stay here again!

We were excited to come here for the UT vs Alabama game but quickly disheartened by the room we booked here. To begin the front desk assistant announced our room number. Then we walked in the room and it smells like urine and smoke. The bathroom sink is separated from the bathroom, so it does not have a vanity. The sheets were too short, and the window curtains do not close so that the streetlight shines in the room all night. The second day we left early and we’re gone for more than 11 hours. When we came back, there was no housekeeping, overflowing trashcan, no clean towels, no coffee or tea, and at $400 per night plus tax we should’ve had stellar service. The electricity turned off in the middle of the night and the hotel, blames it on a storm that did not occur. The hall lights and other room lights were on . Now the management is stating they will not provide any type of refund or discount because we should have told them we wanted housekeeping. We were not told at check-in that we needed housekeeping. The IHG Clean Policy says nothing about requiring a request for cleaning

Area questionable
Hotel itself is nice. Area around is very run down with many homeless people wandering around the super 8 up the street and by the gas stations. Never received room service Was told they had 90 checkouts.
