I reserved a room on Hotels.com and had an itinerary number and everything. When I showed up to the property, they had no information for me in the system, even though I was looking at my reservation on the app. They didn’t even have a room that I could have paid for. I wound up not being able to to even find a room anywhere else because of the very event that I was in town for. We wound up just turning around and driving the 1.5 hours back home. Terrible experience.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. The room was clean and okay. I'm giving it a poor rating because their air freshener/cleaning product in the lobby was so strong I couldn't breathe. My room ended up above the lobby and the smell was in my room and burned my throat. I asked them to turn it off and they said they would. Maybe they did. When I got to my next destination by bed clothes still smelled so strong I couldn't wear them.
Property is dated and in need of repairs but very noisy, something that’s not their fault however a broom and a mop would prevent your feet from turning black. No excuses for cleanliness sorry.

I liked the convenience of the area location and that I felt safe. But it was very difficult getting in and out of the parking lot. It wasn’t run down or up to do. It wasn’t dirty but not really clean looking. The price was a good deal and would stay there again if in that area.
Property does not look as nice as the pictures. As a single female, I did not feel safe initially driving up a big hill with blasting loud music from the bar/tavern adjacent to the property. It is a motel style not a hotel, which is not safe. The door did not close all the way with a gap. I was so tired from my flight arriving in at 1am, that I was too tired to leave and find a new place. I wouldn't recommend unless you like to drink and party.
The neighbourhood was safe, albeit not pedestrian-friendly (thank City of Hoover for that), hotel was not in the greatest of conditions, but I did feel safe & secure there. Housekeeping definitely needs to step up, as I found a few small things from previous visits, as well as a cockroach as I was packing up to check-out. Showerhead and faucet in the bathroom were very, very loose to the point where I was afraid to give any more than a light touch out of fear they would fall out of the wall. But on the positive side, they did not process a deposit for incidentals, etc. Staff were great, and even stopped by my hotel room to bring me my ID Card, which I failed to retrieve during check-in.
There are restaurants and a Publix supermarket nearby, but would be best if you are able to drive, since the City of Hoover apparently doesn't believe in sidewalks or pedestrian crossings.

The staff was friendly and the room was clean and basic.
This place is an abject dump. It’s filthy and it’s falling apart. There was someone else’s butt dust on the toilet rim when we got there.
It’s grim and should probably be shut down. At $75/night it is probably overpriced by about $70, although the bed was surprisingly comfortable.
Stay away.
Place is a dump but ok for one night just to cleanup and sleep. Very old and in rough shape. Right next door to the interstate so loud vehicle traffic.
Difficult to get into parking lot. The room was dark. Floors were dirty. No towels. Hair dryer was broken. Noisy area. Slept with TV on low and it was fine.
Bed was very comfortable. Refrigerator and microwave in room.

Front desk lady was excellent. Only issue we have is cleanliness. No reason if you’re paying someone to clean that they don’t sweep and mop the floors. Bottom of our feet was black because of the floor. Price is very good for what you get but NO reason to be dirty except someone not done by their job.

The property was fine, but expidia is terrible. I am 18 in the military trying to get a hotel and i cant
Older family-run motel but very clean and the room didn’t smell funny like some places do. It had everything we needed for one night.

There drugs transactions going on this property, people call for drugs to be delivered and the dealer pull up beside a car where someone is sitting in their car and a transaction is made, it's so obvious one night something bad is going to happen and we all know drug dealers have guns and drama,this place needs security on the property especially at night.

Conveniently located to the UAB campus and the music venues in that area. It was quiet. Nice tv, but remote wasn't matched up well enough to look at tv guide, etc. Great space for just catching a night's rest.
We only stayed b/c transporting my mother to another hotel is difficult. Door lock broken, smokers outside, amenities non existent. I did complain but was not able to even obtain a discount. DO NOT EVER STAY HERE!!
