I reserved a room on Hotels.com and had an itinerary number and everything. When I showed up to the property, they had no information for me in the system, even though I was looking at my reservation on the app. They didn’t even have a room that I could have paid for. I wound up not being able to to even find a room anywhere else because of the very event that I was in town for. We wound up just turning around and driving the 1.5 hours back home. Terrible experience.
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.

Not much to say, but all we need was a bed for sleeping that they did have
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.
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.

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.

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.
The only positives was an easy check in and proximity to food. This hotel is not updated at all, the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor, the room has bed bugs.
