One night in Bessemer
Pros:

It was close to restaurant and fast food places. It is a great value. The person who prepared breakfast has a great personality.

Cons:

The waiting at the front desk to checkout, when there was no other guest waiting. There was one man sitting in a chair, but I didn't know what his dilemma was. When the clerk finally emerged from the back, she didn't look happy. I don't recall a "good morning" or "how was your stay". As I was leaving, I heard her say to the man, "I can help you now".

Very disappointed, especially the price that I paid
Pros:

There wasn’t much alike. It wasn’t very clean. The bathtub was very slippery that my son fell.

Cons:

Not clean at all the doors facing like the door jams were rotted exposed wood. The floors in the bathroom weren’t clean. The bathtub was so slippery. You couldn’t stand up in it without falling I could go on and on.

Will not be returning to this location
Pros:

Not much.

Cons:

Spill in elevator left for several hours and never cleaned up. The door that connected our room with some other room had a faulty lock so in the middle of the night the other guest tried to get into our room! Told Erica at reception the next am and she was not interested or helpful. The air conditioning unit appeared to emit a lot of dust.

Good, comfortable, safe place to stay
Pros:

Friendly and helpful front desk staff and manager. Room was very comfortable.

Cons:

Very satisfied. Only one issue which was was corrected on request. Our first assigned room had loose door hinges, so we could barely open the door. But the front desk person apologized and gave us a new room.
