  • There is nothing I liked about this hotel!
  • A chair was broken and my wife fell out into the floor, the shower did not drain and I was scalded.

“The hotel was sub par with many problems. The TV. Was so fuzzy that it was useless, a chair was broken and my wife fell in the floor. The tub did not drain and I stepped into scalding water which had accumulated because the tub was not functioning properly. I was burned so badly that I screamed in pain. I reported this to the manager and asked for a refund, she refused and told me that I must take that up with you. She was rude and pretty much accused me of lying. So, I took her to the room and showed her the problems. I enticed her to stick her hand under the water because she said it was impossible that it would get hot enough to burn, she did so, jerked her hand back and winced. She still refused to refund my money.”

  • Great location just on outskirts of city but still near enough to main attractions.
  • It was no big deal but the room decor was kind of outdated.

“I had a really good stay. The people at the front desk were really friendly. My wife and I decided to stay an extra night.”

  • The pool was nice when they would finally get around to opening it.
  • It was old and nasty, nothing like the pictures on the internet.

“Housekeeping did not clean the room at all from Saturday check in through Monday checkout. There were roaches crawling in the room for which they brought me a can of RAID and asked me to return it when I checked out. I had to complain about the service before anyone brought us clean towels and had to walk up to the front desk at 11:30 at night to get toilet paper for our room because they didn't have anyone there who could bring us some. The hotel is old and nasty, not at all what you would expect from a Howard Johnson Inn. We were there for my husband's grandfather's funeral and this was horrific to an already bad situation. We ended up spending 2 extra days in Birmingham but found a better hotel to extend our stay at.”

  • It's one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.
  • It was a dump in ever sense of the word.

“One word - dump.”

  • Nothing
  • Dirty, unappealing and in a not too desirable location.

“Arriving at night at this hotel can be a daunting experience when one sees a lot of people hanging about in the parking lot and a police cruiser standing by, cruising the grounds.”

  • Convenience to downtown area.
  • Very run down condition, worn bathroom fixtures, broken tiles etc., worn out mattresses.

“I liked the location, the continental breakfast was acceptable, it was basically comfortable but NEEDS REPAIRS BADLY!”
