Overbooked
Got in late and they were booked up and only two rooms left. We booked a week in advance. The staff at the front desk asked if we would like 2nd or 3rd floor. He was very nice. When we got to the room the door was slightly ajar. It was hot and the air was not working at all. We immediately went back and asked to go to the 3rd floor room. First said they did not have any other rooms so we asked for a refund. He said that since we booked on Hotel.com he could not refund us. Finally they agreed to give us the other room. They booked the hotel full even though they knew the air was not working in that room. Breakfast staff were very attentive to all the guests.

Staff was friendly. Very cool nights. Unit only blowing cool air and told no one to repair it since maintenance had left. Second night someone was contacted but didn’t show. Maintenance never showed up to repair and I spent 2 nights being cold. Cleaning staff was accommodating. Decorated nicely.

The tv was hard to figure out. No guide that allowed you to go straight to the station. Could see what was on but had to scroll through all stations to get to the ones you wanted

This Beat Western worked out well for us. The area is quiet and close to good restaurants and shopping. The pool area was nice and the coffee better than most places. The sink in our room had big gouges in it and the lamp on one side of the bed was missing, which i found disappointing. If we are going to the Gardendale area again, we would stay there again.
