Pros:

Friendly staff, the rooms are decorated with different themes (ours was fun, but do not recommend the horror room). Our room was fine for our needs. The sink faucet was wobbly. The room was mostly clean and had plenty of the usual supplies. Nice frig and mirco. Good HVAC. Plenty of towels. Overall, suited to the price point. Good stay and nice change from corporate chains.

Pros:

First room we were assigned smelled like cigarettes, went to the front desk and the gentleman working help switch us to a different room. He was very friendly and made everything very seamless. The hotel is very cute and eclectic, both rooms were clean aside front the smell in the first room. My only concern was the tables in the room were a little wobbly and not the best for travelers with small children. Other than that we had a good experience and would stay again when passing through.

Pros:

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed at. When you are traveling cross-country in a U-Haul, you really have to guess at a lot of these places and some turn out better than others. This was one of the best ones! We really enjoyed the themed room we stayed in and they let our pet stay for free, which is unheard of! The rooms and the property were very nicely renovated and clean. The staff was very pleasant and it’s in a good area that is close to a lot of food options. We will definitely stay here again when traveling through the area!

Pros:

Quirky hotel with a themed room! Our room was adorned with hand-painted bird silhouettes that were reminscent of the Hitchcock film without quite crossing the line into creepy. The staff was friendly and efficient. The value for the money was excellent, but upgrades were needed on pillows, towels, and the miniscule packages of soap slivers. Overall, it was a strong stay and I'll likely book again in the future.

Super wifi speed 320Mbps !!
Pros:

Internet was impressive, 320Mbps ! I would stay here just for that because it saved me time working so that extra time I used it to get to sleep earlier.

If I had to nitpick something, it would be that the lights above the sink were too high so my girlfriend hated that she couldn't apply her makeup in the morning before our meeting.

Aside from that, it was great !!

Pros:

We were in the steampunk themed room. It was very clean and the sheets were super soft. I love that the bed was a king. The water was hot and AC was cold. Couldn’t ask for more. Even though it’s right off the highway it wasn’t loud at all. It was also great having so many food choices and stores around. If I ever find myself in Alabama again I’ll definitely stay the night.
