Entire 3rd floor stunk

I stayed here for 2 nights. Upon exiting the elevator to the 3rd floor, I immediately smelled a musty/humid smell. It took me several attempts with the two key cards to enter the room to get it to work. The room stunk as well. I turned on the a/c and hoped the smell would go away. It didn't. I went to the front desk and asked for a candle or room fresher, and they gave me some liquid in a spray bottle. I went back to the room and whatever was in the spray bottle was not something to help with the smell. I went to the bathroom and the toilet would not flush. I went back to the front desk and brought the spray bottle. I asked for a plunger and was told that they just gave it to another person as their toilet was clogged. I then asked for another room and that it be on the first floor as that floor did not stink. She made the change and gave me the key card to a room on the first floor. I went to check it out and the key cards would not work, so I had them redo it. This room was fine, so I made the switch. I then stayed the 2 nights. The hotel is an old La Quinta and they say it is undergoing repairs. In fact, when you approach the hotel at night, the lit up La Quinta sign shines through the "Stay" sign. This hotel needs help.

It was a surprisingly well-rested stay. It is an former (and older) La Quinta property. Other than it being out-dated and in need oc repairs, it was clean and quiet. Giving it 3 stars since someone was vaping on our floor and that the breakfast items needed to be filled promptly.

Didn't like the prostitutes hanging around and in the hotel. Just over all trashy. Pool was down with no mentioning of it until you get there. The breakfast was terrible, no juice, milk, just coffee. Room was dirty behind chair and corners of room. Avoid this place

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 11&2) we stayed here 2 nights between our drive to Florida. Check in was easy but once we got to our room it smelled like smoke and was a single king with pull out couch not the double queen I booked. The front desk lady informed me that all the double beds were taken and that they did their best to clean the smell. Since we were tired from the drive we kept the room. After we checked out and continued our drive to Orlando I get a notification that my credit card was charged from this hotel. We call and were told that there was no notes on our account and would need to call back the next day to speak with the manager who knows what the charge is for. After waiting and calling back the manager who answered was the same gentleman that answered the previous call. He did not have an answer about why there wasn't any notes on our account about the smoke smell when we checked in just that nothing was going to change the fact that we were charged $250. Pos. -rooms are very spacious -tv has kid channels -quiet at night. Cons- -breakfast is mediocre and cold. Has a multiple waffle makers but only had one out. Causing long wait for waffles as multiple families were making waffles. We could see the others in the kitchen area on a shelf. -elevator smelled like vomit -manager

Pretty good

The place was clean, with helpful staff, is under new management. Breakfast was hot, scrambled eggs, biscuits, waffle, muffins and more. We loved the all day long Lemonade and coffee in the lobby. Pool was clean and open. I am taking a star away for key cards. Only one card worked qnd that too stopped working. The key card rarely worked on the side entrance. We got new cards and it helped a little. It was peaceful otherwise.

I should sue yall blind

Harassment. I wish these hotels could do their research a baby sitter can watch kids at 17. It is not illegal to do so. It is not. Nothing in alabama law says otherwise. As long as they have all things mean for safety and survival they can. Legally i could sue. For one you caused me loss of wages. Two you harassed my kids. Three you threatened me for something that wasnt illegal. Then for defamation of character. You yelled at my special needs kids. He was non verbal and he wasnt ignoring you. He just cant talk. Are you happy with yourself ?

Disappointed

This was our second stay there; on the way to Texas we had a marvelous stay on the first floor to the left of the lobby —rated it excellent—but this time we were put on the second floor in the other direction at the end of the hall. There was a dampness on the carpet and the noise from the highway was heard all night, plus the mattress was too soft and caved in the middle

Never had house keeping. Called and told the front desk twice that no one has cleaned our room. We took trash and towels out and put outside the door. We had to call everyday to get towels and toilet paper and we had to go to front desk to pick it up. We are on 3rd floor. Also there’s a horrible smell in our room. We had to go buy air freshener and doesn’t really help. I’m not very happy. I think we should get some of our money back.

I don’t know how this hotel has a 9.8 rating. At best it’s a 7. The breakfast was so-so. And cold. One of my room keys didn’t work. But for the price I received it at- $80. it was fine. But certainly nothing to brag about.
