The Best Western brand is hit or miss, it seems standards vary widely between facilities. This one was a miss.

Looks so nice and not at all. Would be nice to know it’s under renovation. Our hall way was missing carpet lots of doors labeled with tape. Bed was far from comfy and room was not very nice at all for the price. Should tell you they have an outdoor pool. Wanted to relax but can’t really in the pouring rain. Stayed at other places for a lot less that were 10 times nicer. Tried to check out and front desk guy ignored us had about 3-4 room keys laying on the counter so guess that’s normal. Not a great place.

The hotel has gone down. I stayed there years ago and it was very nice. Now it smells like urine and looks rundown. Friendly staff. Never received full housekeeping services. They would only empty trash and provide clean towels. Never made or changed linen on bed in 7 days. Will not stay again

We were in town for a family event. We arrived 930 at night to walk into the lobby with the smell of over cooked curry. It was so overwhelming it made my eyes tear up. We still checked in. Went to our room and it smelled up there also. The next morning we still smelled lingering odors.

Last minute booking. Easy check in. Room smelled dirty but I think just old. Bath had small amount of mold around joints. Better cleaning would help. Bed was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good with sausage and eggs and typical self serve. Overall ok just needs deep cleaning.

This is my 5th time to this property and i have always had an excellent stay. It is clean, close to shopping ourlets, and has friendly staff. Each time i am in decatur alabama this is my choice for hotel accomodations.

Was average. Pool was closed. Descent breakfast. Had to wait a long time to check in with only 1 person at the desk. A bit overpriced for the experience. Would not have stayed here if I planned a bit better. Not a bad place though...,

Basic No frills-absolutely no frills with small odor hotel. Unfortunately all the Best Westerns that I have stayed at have been uncomfortable for me. When you're scared to shower or let your feet touch the floor, and sleep with a crook in your neck bcuz you don't want the linens touching you. This is me at EVERY Best Western, so I will no longer book there. It's more of a working man, truck driver establishment.

First, the staff were very kind and attentive and very pleasant! Excellent employees.
However, the property smelled awful, especially my room. Like old food or something. The couch had large stains. And the AC was stuffed full of bounce sheets, i assume to mask the smell. (Unsuccessfully)
Someone in my hallway was smoking weed the whole weekend so there was that smell also.
There were some questionable people also in a room down the hall… several scantily dressed girls and a couple guys. It was worrisome.
We were there for a long weekend due to a death in the family, and basically only slept there and it was just too much trouble to ask for a refund and go find another place. But I won’t be back.

Alabama in the summer is a difficult time for hotel air-conditioning. The room had a constant dampness. Shower towels never dried even over night. The hotel has some years but the property owners have clearly taken action in maintaining the safety and cleanliness. Breakfast was good. Staff was pleasant. The hotel is right off beltline Rd so convenient for single night or longer stays or getting downtown or going getting food/ light shopping.

The staff was not friendly and not helpful. I asked for a stay over cleaning for my room and was told the service was not available on Friday. The hotel is dated and doesn’t have UB adapters. The breakfast was below par and the front desk staff needed to run the kitchen so it took over 20 minutes to check out. The coffee was watered down and low quality food. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. You could stay at a Motel 6 or Super 8 and get better quality.

We loved the check in lady. Her name was Amy she did excellent we have no problem with her. She deserves a raise because she took care of a lot now for the little bit of complaint our room our lock was broke. We couldn’t use the deadbolt or shower head, lack desire, the cleaning of the room, really lack desire, the breakfast was average but it was good. We appreciated that thank you for that around the hotel was nice. The beds were comfy. Definitely need at least two towels in the bathroom. We only had one we had to go get more which was maybe an oversight the cleaning definitely needs to be fed up we have had worse, but we have definitely had better.

Check in was smooth and the room was clean. The sheets had holes in them. Paint was peeling off the walls in the bathroom. There was a stain on the ceiling due to a obvious leak. The light when you come into the room dis not work. I bought dinner and did not eat it all. I went to put in the fridge and the fridge would not close so i had to throw my food away. Very disappointed in my stay. I was too tired from traveling to ask to be switched to another room.

This newer hotel will go down the tubes quickly with their lack of good service and cleanliness. I rented the suite with a hot tub. The hot tub made me gag because it was loaded with pubic hair and sheds from a previous guest. My toilet was dirty. The carpet had not been thoroughly vacuumed. The bed was very uncomfortable. I stayed two days and my room service consisted of them emptying trash and replacing a towel. The same nasty hair in the tub, bed not made… my card got deactivated in the middle of my stay and the woman told me that it wasn’t my card but I didn’t know how to work the door..and then I asked twice to make sure the right card was charged. My personal card got charged anyway. I asked for this to be reversed and it was apparently impossible which I don’t believe. It was just a bad stay. No one is friendly. Because of the lack of cleanliness in the room, I did not dare touch the breakfast so I have no review of that.
