Decided to stop here on a roadtrip and so glad we chose this location. The staff seemed to go the extra mile from reservations and check-in/out, to housekeeping to the breakfast. The grounds were nicely landscaped, and entire hotel look updated and well-maintained. We requested the quietest room possible and were given 200. It was perfect...at the end of the... More

I got a very nice room with a king size bed and sitting area. for less than $100.00. The staff was great and the room very clean. I was in town for my daughters graduation at Alabama. I feel I got a great room at a good price.

We were very pleased with our choice of this hotel. It was right off of I-59/20 and it was conveniently located since it was only 30 miles from Tuscaloosa and 2 miles from 459 bypass. There were good places to eat around the hotel, plus we were given discounts at some of the restaurants. The hotel service was excellent from... More

Decor was most impressive, very southern. Everything was clean, presentable, and odor free. The coffee was exceptional at breakfast. The server, Belinda, could not keep the pots filled. The food was quite good too. Overall I wished we could have stayed at this location for each stop of out 1800 mile trip. None of the rest could touch this one.... More

The Hotel has nice rooms, with comfortable beds..Read at least one review about trouble with hot water, I did not experiance any trouble with the hot water.. Breakfast seemed about the normal for the hotel brand..The service I believe was lacking..Too much wait time to access front desk help..Overall I would suggest staying at this hotel..

My first stay at this Best Western; the rooms were clean and the staff courteous. I was especially impressed with the breakfast bar. Many hotels advertise a breakfast bar, but most turn out to be pretty lame. There was a good selection of items and an attentive employee kept it stocked. There were also a few well known chain restaurants... More

Service is very good. I enjoy my stay always. I will recommend this hotel to everyone. The staff always welcomes me and knows me by name. The room is always clean and fresh smelling. I always appreciate having plenty of hot water for a shower after working long days. Again, thanks for the great service.
