The hotel was clean and inviting. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially a front desk lady by the name of Debby. The free breakfast included both hot and cold food to enjoy. The dining area was clean and comfortable. The rooms were clean and larger than most that you find while traveling. I will stay again when I go to visit my granddaughter at the university

Came into town for graduation and stayed here. We had three rooms for the weekend and the entire staff was great! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and the rooms are large and comfortable. A lot nearby to see and do, and I would highly recommend this hotel for your stay in town.

We were pleasantly surprised. Despite a renovation looming, i thought the rooms were pretty clean, smelled ok, and the breakfast selection was great. Loved the available coffee 24x7. Staff friendly. Primary downside is no fault of the hotel, it’s the crappy looking gas station lot out the window that was eh. There was a homeless man living in that area by the dumpster. Sad. Temp on final night dropped to 30s. Favorite part was the easy out and on i20 to head to UofAL. Pretty convenient. We stayed an extra night on Sunday after the game, price for room was reasonable given the cost of others closer to the university.

Hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Beds were really comfortable. Shower had a bit of black mold but that’s really our only complaint. Free breakfast in the morning. You can easily walk to Waffle House from this hotel.

Great staff and affordable stay. We have stayed at this location many times when were are traveling through the area. Very conveniently located right off the interstate. The building and rooms are starting to show their age, but they are in remodeling, so it will be great in the future.

Mary Ann was absolutely fabulous. She was very friendly and very accommodating. She even helped me find a parking spot for my truck and trailer. She was always asking to let her know if we needed anything. She also remembered us from a previous visit. If there were more Mary Ann's the world would be a better place. I can't say enough to tell you how great she was.
