Over the stay was great. First time but won’t be our last. My only issue was the smell from the garbage disposal in the rooms kitchen area. Other than that it was very clean, very well maintained and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. Especially ms. keke. Also I give a bonus compliment for having a full coffee bar with hazelnut creamer and not just half&half. Thanks again for the stay!

The room was set up nice, but the bedside tables were dusty, and the shower floor was stained, or I would say “dirty.” The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok, but it wasn’t terrible; continental with an addition of powdered eggs and Turkey sausage.

It was okay.
There were used rags, hair and bugs on the floor in the bathroom. We had to go to the children’s hospital that’s why we stayed there.. definitely finding somewhere else next time. Breakfast was like 6/10. The lady running the breakfast was SO nice.

The property is very lovely and close to UAB medical facilities. I did not see on Expedia where it said there would be a $23 daily parking fee, so that was the only disappointment.

Excellent week long stay
The hotel was great. I stayed there all week, worked during the day and visited the city at night. The hotel is extremely pet friendly and appreciated being able to bring my dog with me. It's not well advertised but there is a partially gated dog run off the back of the parking lot. The hotel was quite and clean. Recently renovated and it shows, because everything looks new. Breakfast was a pleasant surprised. Every day there was scrambled eggs, and a side of meat, along with the regular hotel staples such as cereal, waffle maker, oatmeal, and assortment of fruit.
