“Nasty Hotel...Wouldn't ever stay there again..”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2009

My family and I travel alot from North Alabama to South Alabama and sometimes we get a room for over night stay....This one particular night it was pouring down rain and I decided to stay over and drive in the day light so, we stopped by and booked a room for the night. Here is there list of things that we seen was wrong...

* When we walked in the room it smelled like rotten eggs. Yes it was a smoking room but I always get smoking rooms and none of the other hotel rooms have NOT EVER smelled like this room. The smell almost knocked up down it smelled so BAD!

* It was nasty and dirty....Under the kitchen sink was a food box that had food and bones in it. The counter tops had crumbs on them.

* There were no wash clothes in the room...The shower curtain had some mold on it.

*No remote for the TV so we started looking for it....looked everywhere...in the dresser, under the couch, even under the beds. Under the beds we seen a pair of dirty panties, 1 sock and a balloon under the other bed we seen a bloody towel.

After, we seen all that I went to the desk reported that and asked for a refund...He tells me that he will only refund 50% of my money due to I was already in the room for 45 minutes. I agreed to stay in another room. Well of course I was going to inspect that room. That room had all kinds of trash behind and under the couch. Behind and around the beds. Under the one bed there again a dirty towel but it was NOT bloody. The walls were dirty and wallpaper was torn off.

The looks of the rooms were not very appealing at all. Looks can be deceiving on the internet. To me it sounds like a CRACK OR METH hotel!!!!

I would NOT ever stay at this hotel again! I DO NOT recommend it at all!

I did take pics of the bloody but cant put them on here...I will contact the health department on this hotel.

“It was ok - fairly clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2007

Our stay here was OK. The room was fairly clean, although the shower curtain had mold a foot and a half up the bottom of it (gross). Rooms are large though some what run-down. Out of the 3 hotels available here this is probably your best choice. I did have some communication problems since I speak only English and many of the staff did not. I was here for 3 days and nights while my husband was working and I felt safe in my room.

“Good value for the cost”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2006

I enjoyed my stay at this Hotel. I had one of the non-smoking suites which did NOT smell like smoke, lots of room, it was clean, had wired & wireless connection in the room (wireless faded out periodically, wired was fine), breakfast was average for continental breakfasts, it was quiet, nothing bad to say about it, I would recommend it.

“HATED IT!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2006

This had to be the absolute worst hotel we have ever stayed in and that is saying a lot since we travel a lot. Here is the list:

* Had a non-smoking room in which smoking most definitely occured. You could smell it and see the cigarette burns in the bedding.
* Bugs everywhere.
* Not clean. Kitchenette had crumbs left from previous tenants.
* Carpet torn up.
* Hot water a joke. Literally took 8 minutes to get water warm enough to shower in. I wish I was exagerating.
* Crack house. Very obvious when we pulled out the fold out couch (which we could not get bedding for) to find the bottom of a soda can that had been used as a hot plate for someones drugs.

The list actually goes on but I just don't have the time. Nor did the person on duty have time to listen to us.

Stayed March 2006
