10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is convenient to the South Alabama campus. Staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean.
Kirsten, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay for Tournament Weekend

Stayed here 2 nights for a travel softball tournament, only 15 minutes from the fields in a safe area near the University of South Alabama. Clean, comfortable rooms, great breakfast, and super friendly staff. Plenty of food and grocery options close by. Will definitely stay here again for future tournaments!
Carlene, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Elevator Mold/Mildew

The staff is Wonderful! The beds are very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. The only thing that was off is the elevators reek of mildew. I noticed this during my stay in June, but I assumed it was just a one time occurrence. We have stayed twice since then and the elevator smell gets worse with each visit. We will stay here again because it is the closest hotel to USA, but I will request the first or second floor so that I can avoid the elevator.

Maree, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was wonderful, the location was good and somewhat close to downtown. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. Our bathroom had a strong urine smell and the bathroom floor was dirty. We were only there for one night so we didn’t make a fuss. The rest of the hotel was wonderful.
Serena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and service were top notch. The only thing that wasn’t 5 stars was the sofa bed. It is in desperate need of a new mattress. I felt bad my son had to sleep on it.
