Nice place to stay - I especially liked getting 2 decaf and 2 regular packets of coffee every day for the in-room coffee machine

We stayed at the Microtel the weekend of UA's graduation. The hotel is a BUDGET hotel but they charged $130.00 a night because of graduation. Our room was a handicapped room (all they had available) on the 4th floor...why they would put a handicapped unit on the top floor is beyond me. We had 2 beds, one was new and... More

I was part of a group that came from NJ to work with Habitat for Humanity. We came back to the hotel in the late afternoon tired and dirty. The water was always hot, the showers strong, and the beds comfortable. The next day, the rooms were always clean, with plenty of fresh towels.The staff, at whatever shift, was very... More

I stayed at the Microtel for a week in April. It was very clean and the rooms comfortable. The breakfast is adequate but far from special. While management staff was responsive, the desk staff was rather weak.

My daughter and I were visiting the University and stayed one weeknight at the Microtel on Veterans Memorial Pkwy. Pluses: modern decor in rooms, free Wi-fi, clean room and bath, friendly check-in staff.

I would question if this is "a better place to stay"! I'm not sure what their definition of "better" is. I know that this is probably one of the worst rooms I have ever stayed in. I did use TripAdvisor before I booked a room and thought it can't be too bad if rated #2. Just looking at our room... More

Stayed here for the Alabama High School honor band festival. Front desk staff was extremely personable, the rooms were pristine, the breakfast was great, and the location was perfect. Had stayed previous two nights across the street at Home-Towne Suites, which is a dump comparatively, and the prices were the same. Would recommend this place highly. Oh, don't forget about... More

Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Freshly baked cookies. Stay here every year.
