A BAD NIGHT!

Hotel was on back-up electricity for 4 hours. Hotel told us no a/c, no TV for unknown amount of time. We were gonna kill time by swimming. But pool light was in chair by pool with cord still attached to light running into the water, did not look safe. We just wanted to leave the hotel. So, we did but Hotel would not give refund or discount on a one night stay.

Worst hotel i stayed in the last 10 years

disappointed. I was being picked up early the next am so I stayed at the hotel. The place was run down and dirty. Lights didn't work in the room. Electrical outlet hanging from wall. Flat out gross. I should have walked to the Holiday Inn close by but it was late.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! CAR BROKEN INTO AND HOTEL NOT HELPING!!

DO NOT STAY HERE!! CAR BROKEN INTO AND HOTEL NOT HELPING!!While the room was decent, Our car was broken into over night and yes, they do have signs in the parking lot stating they are not liable....that should have been a red flag!! With major damage to my vehicle and items stolen, I cannot get the hotel owner to call me back. Apparently he does not care about the safety of their customers. I was told by one employee that there are NO CAMERAS IN THE PARKING LOT and another told me YES THERE ARE CAMERAS IN THE PARKING LOT....come to find out....there are cameras but they are not hooked up or working. I would NOT stay at this hotel again even if they paid me. Not worth my safety or anymore damage to my vehicle!!!!

convenient to airport

This hotel is conveniently located to the Birmingham Airport. Rooms are good size, clean and quiet. Pool area was nice and also clean. Restaurant and bar are not worth the stop. Plan to eat somewhere else.

Not Impressed

I was not impressed. For the price, the hotel room was not worth the price. The coffee maker was do dirty that I have to drive to McDonald's to get a decent cup. The bed had crumbs so it wasn't clean. Also, there was a huge hole in the shower wall. The size of the room as fine, but other than that I would not stay there again.
