Just. Don’t. Do. It. It’s worth it to drive to Birmingham or stay back in Meridian, The only good think I can say is our beds were clean and there was a roof over our head. The office staff was polite enough. Like someone else, I had to show my confirmation on the app, but they had no idea we were coming at 11pm. Apparently she had an issue with housekeeping earlier and the coverlet covers weren’t ready. She showed me a room for my approval and I said it would be fine. Upon further inspection once our stuff was in, I noticed the lampshade was torn, there were no towels, no tissues. Glad I didn’t look further around after reading others reviews. I had asked about breakfast at check in, and basically got the drift that there was no breakfast. My standards are not very high, but this has to be, hands down, the worst place I’ve ever stayed. And apparently the rate I got online was higher than everyone else’s 52$

Practically all the hotels in this area are 2 star facilities. Relax Inn was clean, no issues with the beds, slept well. The bathroom was clean and had ample towels. I didn't use the mini fridge or microwave and coffee pot. It was an easy check in & out. No major issues.

Many thanks to the owner & his very well kept property. You were the kindest owner we've met thusfar. Your accomodations were clean & in walking distance to the train & a convenient store. I highly recommend staying at Relax Inn. -Iris-

Comfortable bed and good shower. Some updates in room. Musty and stinky odor in room made it very difficult to sleep. Pricey and no breakfast. Would not stay here again.

Not for us.

If you are not fussy about room to move around in and just a bed…it would be ok. Bathroom was completely unacceptable! Surprisingly quiet at night being right on a busy corner. We stayed 1 night, cancelled for our return trip.

Great room

This was our first time in this area. When you first open the door your a bit worried, but we had nothing to worry about. The room was clean and cozy. When we went to sleep that night and the next it was so quite and peaceful. The curtains made the room dark that you slept so good. The other people staying there were also friendly. We left our car at the hotel and walked everywhere. Very nice town. The owner was very helpful and polite. It was a very nice visit. N

Small rooms

If all you need is a place to stop for the night this is OK. Check in easy but the rooms are tiny and the beds are hard as rocks. Feel it is overpriced but we didn’t have a choice due to last minute changes.

Very convenient location for walking to restaurants and shops. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Our AC wasn’t working properly right when we first unloaded the car and we were immediately upgraded to another room. The manager had the unit fixed before we had finished moving but he said to stay in the other room for the inconvenience. The pool area was pretty! Bed was comfortable, area very quiet at night. We would stay again.
