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.

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.

I stayed one night passing through. The price was right. There was a mini-fridge and a microwave that worked. The room was pretty standard for an eco hotel. The floor in the hotel room needed some cleaning.

we found bed bugs inside of our sheets. when reported to the management we were told that we were lying and they needed more proof other than the photos we had. They had to look for themselves to even think about a refund. Terrible place to stay.
