This is an old motel that needs a lot of repair. We stayed 2 nights, and after the first night, we didn't get wash cloths of hand towels. I'm pretty sure they water down the shampoo, because it took the whole bottle to shampoo my short hair. The continental breakfast was cold. There was a tiny microwave, but you couldn't... More

On our way to our vacation destination, Panama City Beach, FL, we stopped for the night in Athens, AL. There were many hotels/motels to choose from. Having had good experiences with Hampton Inn in the past, we checked there first, only to find they wanted $119 per night for a single room with a king-sized bed. There was the Travel... More

Family Reunion: After reading the other reviews, I was hesitant to stay but family members insisted. I was pleasantly surprised, rooms clean, staff attentive, breakfast was good (waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, etc.) Convenient location (half hour to Space Museum) and outdoor pool was clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend for an inexpensive stay.

The place is really run down and needs a lot of repairs. I slept there but didn't want to eat the free breakfast.

My husband and I stayed here recently when we had to rest from a long drive home from Florida. This place looks like something out of the 1970's. The big security monitor on the front desk should have been our first clue. Towels that used to be white, a bathroon that reeked of smoke (we asked for non-smoking.) Broken furniture,... More

We arrived late at night on our way up north. We checked in and found a dirty towel hanging in the bathroom and the towels in the room looked dirty. The sink was horrible and the shower head was in need of repair. Bugs were flying around in the room. The breakfast bar consisted of Little Debbie Snack cakes....Do not... More

This is an old motel that's been given a slight face lift. Once you get inside the room you can tell the age of the motel. It was clean but the pipes in the bathroom made banging noises all night long. The free breakfast bar was extremely disappointing so we went next door to the Cracker Barrel. No yogurt, no... More

We love the location of this motel because it is right off the highway and very convenient to gas stations and you can walk to the Cracker Barrel for meals but the room was dirty and smelled and the breakfast area was absolutely filthy! The state should send an inspector; I am certain it would not pass inspection! It's really... More

Recently, I blew a tire on I-65 on the way to Gulf Shores. My wife and I stayed at the Comfort in off exit 351 (I-65.) We checked in, and dropped off our bags, and put our dog (in its kennel) in the room. We left for about one hour to go eat. When we got back to the room,... More

Almost brand-new looking and nicely-appointed with lots of tile, granite and modern details. Enjoyed the indoor pool and whirlpool and exercise fitness room. Room spacious, clean and quiet with comfortable towels, comfy bed and problem-free wireless access. Really no complaints - didn't have any problems like your other reviewers.
