It's just north of Birmingham and was a very welcome sight after working and driving all day. The staff were wonderful and the accommodations, very pleasant. We stayed there a few times while working in the area and were happy each time. We found the staff easygoing and workable. More

I didnt stay but I felt I should write a review based on my experience. Walked in and the lobby smelled so bad I almost walked out. I waited to check on a room while the front desk lady was arguing with a customer on the phone. When she waited on me she informed me they didn't accept Corporate Lodging... More

This location was near full. We had a quiet, relaxing stay with a complimentary breakfast. The desk clerk was friendly and helpful. More

The "free" breakfast is a little worse than many, but adequate. Rooms have always been clean when I have stayed here and the staff has been helpful. I always appreciate the free wifi provided by most Best Westerns. More

Everyone's perspective may somehow be different, but I found this location to be clean, quiet and nice. I'm not looking for "luxury" when I look for accommodations. My concerns are always security, cleanliness and comfort. It's always an added bonus when the staff are courteous and helpful, as well. I was very pleased with the room and its lay out.... More

My family stopped at this hotel on our way to Florida. For a one night stay, this is an adequate hotel. The rooms were very clean, however, the decor was very out-dated. Front desk staff was very pleasant. The continental breakfast was very basic but there was an employee constantly clearing tables and keeping the breakfast items replenished. The outdoor... More

The first room I was assigned smelled musty and the carpet looked very dirty. The woman at the front desk had one room left which smelled better but didn't look better. When I looked on their website, I was under the impression that the waffles would be 'homemade' and there would be other hot offerings. There was gravy that did... More

We stayed for two nights in early April 2010. Average, run-of-the-mill place. We had a king suite that had plenty of space for the two of us and our preschooler. Sofa pulls out into a bed, and there's a mini-fridge and microwave- musts for traveling with kids. The room was very clean, and the staff was professional. The continental breakfast... More
