Staff was friendly, location was great. The room had apparently had touch ups done all around in bedroom area and bathroom area. But they hadn’t been done well. So it made it appear to not look the best and maybe not feel as clean in my opinion.
Stayed for a trip to University of Alabama & it was a great location and convenient to access the campus with a 8-10 minute drive. Staff was very friendly and the room was as advertised.
This is our 2nd time staying at this property while visiting our daughter at UA and we have no complaints. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The location is great and the beds are comfortable.
We were impressed by the friendliness of the staff. Everyone was helpful and appeared happy to do their jobs. Our room was clean and had a fresh scent. The pool was perfect. Breakfast was delicious and offered many options.
