Excellent location near the university and downtown
Some rooms reported as clean, spacious and comfortable

Missing or awkward amenities in rooms (no mini-fridge in some rooms, no USB ports, unfriendly AC controls)

Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple guests reported stained sheets, dirty carpets, smoke and musty smells, clogged tubs and generally inconsistent room cleanliness—clear area of concern that drags this score down.
Service
10
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and eager to assist (front desk and kitchen praised), which is a consistent positive across many reviews.
Location
10
Location is frequently praised as close to the university and downtown yet sufficiently quiet—strong and repeatedly mentioned asset.
Room Quality
6.5
Rooms are sometimes described as clean and comfortable, but many reviews mention dated furnishings, thin/worn sheets, squeaky beds and need for renovations, producing a mixed-to-below-average score.
Amenities
7
Basic amenities exist but some expected items were missing (no mini-fridge in some rooms, awkward fridge placement, no USB ports) and AC/controls were noted as unfriendly—adequate but dated.
Value for Money
7
Value is mixed: some guests praised price and deals, but complaints about heavy game-day upcharges and comparisons to cleaner, cheaper nearby hotels lower this score.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast received both praise (outstanding, good options) and criticism (ran out of items, staffing/overload issues during events). Overall fairly positive but operational gaps exist.
Overall Experience
10
Despite property condition issues, many guests highlighted excellent staff, convenient location and satisfactory stays (especially for game weekends), producing a strong overall impression for many visitors.

Good
Pros:

We loved the cookies and snacks set out for game day by the sweetest kitchen lady. It right at the end of McFarland easy to get to game

Cons:

They upcharge for game days. Should be illegal to charge 4x the normal nightly rate.

Great place for football games if you are in town. Clean and friendly staff!
Pros:

Staff was very friendly and helpful being a busy football weekend. The location was just 10 minutes or so from the University of Alabama which is why we were in town.

Cons:

The only complaint I have and it’s not a big one. Our room didn’t have a mini fridge in it like I thought it would have. We didn’t have anywhere to store our leftovers after dinner.
