Older family-run motel but very clean and the room didn’t smell funny like some places do. It had everything we needed for one night.

I liked the convenience of the area location and that I felt safe. But it was very difficult getting in and out of the parking lot. It wasn’t run down or up to do. It wasn’t dirty but not really clean looking. The price was a good deal and would stay there again if in that area.
Overall for the price it was a good stay. Could focus on attention to detail while cleaning but other than that I was satisfied. Front desk was friendly.

Conveniently located to the UAB campus and the music venues in that area. It was quiet. Nice tv, but remote wasn't matched up well enough to look at tv guide, etc. Great space for just catching a night's rest.
Place is a dump but ok for one night just to cleanup and sleep. Very old and in rough shape. Right next door to the interstate so loud vehicle traffic.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and okay. I'm giving it a poor rating because their air freshener/cleaning product in the lobby was so strong I couldn't breathe. My room ended up above the lobby and the smell was in my room and burned my throat. I asked them to turn it off and they said they would. Maybe they did. When I got to my next destination by bed clothes still smelled so strong I couldn't wear them.
I stayed one night passing through. The price was right. There was a mini-fridge and a microwave that worked. The room was pretty standard for an eco hotel. The floor in the hotel room needed some cleaning.

Property is dated and in need of repairs but very noisy, something that’s not their fault however a broom and a mop would prevent your feet from turning black. No excuses for cleanliness sorry.

It was cheap and thats what I needed. There was a stain on the sheet. The service was good. They knew I needed towels and I didnt have to ask. At night I was impressed at how well it was lit.

Was high class but it was clean safe and served it purpose for a race weekend
This place is an abject dump. It’s filthy and it’s falling apart. There was someone else’s butt dust on the toilet rim when we got there.
It’s grim and should probably be shut down. At $75/night it is probably overpriced by about $70, although the bed was surprisingly comfortable.
Stay away.
