Find another hotel
Pros:

The location was nice

Cons:

Dated property, everything felt a little grimy. Not sure if our floors in the bedroom during the summer were supposed to be heated, but the floors were hot in our room like it had in floor heating….weird.
The breakfast voucher they give is for a sit down restaurant that is basically serving you the same powdered egg crap that you would get in a cheap buffet. On Booking.com they say kids eat free, but that’s not true. If you book your 13 to, however, old kid, they’re gonna have to buy their own breakfast because the kid ticket only goes up to age 12.

Don’t do it! Stay at other places.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Was told we were going to get vouchers for our kids to eat free and didn’t get them. Even though the menu says that. Parking was terrible. Big hotel no parking. Hair in the tub.

Worst hotel experience ever! Worst front desk encounter with Dustin!
Pros:

We stayed her in June 2026, and I can honestly say it was easily the worst hotel experience I have ever encountered. We were in mobile for a showcase baseball tournament and didn’t finish our game until late so we arrived to check in at 11:55 pm. When I walked in the lobby, there was a customer at the desk and the front desk clerk, Dustin, was on the phone with someone trying to get credit card information so he could check her in (she apparently worked for Greyhound and they were paying for her expenses). I am NOT exaggerating when I say this took an hour! In this hour, there were at least 15 people that came and got in the line behind me, including one angry customer that was already asleep and someone opened this man’s door to his room with a key card (after midnight). This customer stated that he, his girlfriend, and baby were dead asleep and someone opened their door, luckily he had the latch lock on so they couldn’t come in the room. Dustin, the front desk worker, was completely UNBOTHERED - never tried to help this customer or figure out who came in his room or why? I was appalled! The customer finally just walked off but you could tell he was extremely frustrated. But back to the over an hour wait to just get checked in- Dustin never once said, mam, since your company is having issues with the credit card, I’m gonna wait on a couple of the 15 customers behind you so we can get the line down and as soon as they can give me the correct information, I’ll get you taken care of! Never! If all the other hotels in town weren’t booked, we would have left at 1am and found somewhere else to stay! Some of the 15 customers just left! And to top that off when he finally got greyhound girl taken care of, I said “I just need a room with two beds- don’t care about their cost. Here is my credit card and license.” It still took him 22 minutes to check me in bc at that point I was looking at watch every 5 minutes bc I was just amazed at the incompetence or laziness or lack of care! 🤯 On top of ALL of that, I didn’t get a receipt. I had to call back down to get that- Dustin stated he would bring it right up and guess what- he didn’t! I had to call again! Never again!

It’s round! It’s retro! It’s a vibe!
Pros:

First of all, it is round. Second it is well located, totally eccentric, the rooftop lounge is just wild. Don’t come here for coherence, don’t come here for luxury, come here for the sheer joy of staying in a legendary hotel type that is rapidly erasing. What is fun is that the staff totally gets how weird and wild it is. Renovations are ahead but hopefully it will keep its charm.

Comfortable
Pros:

Room pretty and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Someone parked in 1 of the two handicapped parking spaces without a tag. My daughter is in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient. Staff said there was nothing they could do. First day was a fancy BMW and next day was brand new Tesla.

Demote the front desk lady on 6/4/2026 at 9:00pm to humble her and learn customer service all over again.
Pros:

The view was beautiful and beds were very comfortable

Cons:

Front desk lady on 6/4/2026 9:00pm was EXTREMELY rude. I paid for a bedroom with breakfast included for my family of 4. The kids were free. When we arrived she gave my husband a hard time and only provided one coupon for one child. I was not going to eat in front my child let alone pay an additional 30 dollars when it was supposed to be provided. After we checked in my in laws of 5 checked in. 3 were elderly. They needed two rooms with two beds in each with breakfast included. They decided not to do breakfast since she was going to charge them 450 without it. She gave them a room with a king size bed and the other room only had a Sofa bed. So our grandmother had nowhere to sleep, we made room for her in our room so she didn’t have to sleep in a chair. She was not interested in helping and she obviously did not care. Not someone you want at front desk greeting people who just traveled 15 hours. My family is now convinced that she acted this way since we are Hispanic. The view was beautiful and beds were comfortable! But she most definitely ruined this entire stay for us that we could not appreciate it. I filed for a refund on the breakfast I paid for AND they asked for my card info, pulled 50 dollars and have not put that back in my account
