This was by far the worst stay at a hotel! Tub in the shower was dirty and not draining properly the comforter had hair on it, refrigerator was nasty, door wasn’t closing properly, had to have keys redone twice , was offered to move rooms a day before check out , was told first nothing could be done! Do not stay here the worst! Will never get my business again!

During our 4 night stay, the room was not cleaned nor the towels changed. We had to go down to the desk and get fresh towels. We asked them to clean the room halfway thru our stay and all they did was empty the trash. The beds were uncomfortable and the comforters on both beds were ripped. The curtains had mold growing on them. Cleaning is obviously done by just hitting the high spots because the entire place is almost nasty. I’ve been extremely disappointed in the direction Choice hotels has gone lately and this stay just added to that disappointment.

Pictures are not accurate. Our room was extremely dirty - fingerprints all over headboard & hair on blankets. Blinds were stained & there were splatters of a drink all over the walls. The back door entry was unlocked & did not latch to the outside public - VERY UNSAFE.

We booked two rooms for two nights for an Alabama football weekend and expected higher rates, but we also expected basic service in return. Regardless of the price, the cleanliness was unacceptable. Both rooms and carpets were dirty and smelled bad. No one cleaned our rooms or brought the extra towels we requested, even after asking. The “breakfast” was not worth mentioning—thankfully there’s a Waffle House nearby. Definitely not a place we’d stay again.

We had a King room on the 1st floor and I highly do not recommend for anyone dealing with back issues. Deadbolt did NOT latch at all! Had to rely on the regular lock, the door stop latch, and the “Go Ahead and Make My Day” under the pillow.
