Checked into a $70 nite 2 queen bed Room. It was decent looking, somewhat rundown but the beds were ok. The biggest issue was the 2" bug the front desk called a "water bug" when i took it up to them and showed them. They chuckled, telling me they are everywhere, offered me a different room and teased me about not being from the South. Found 2 more of these "bugs" by morning! Continental breakfast was ok but ate only what could be cooked by me in fear of what I would find in food. Upon returning to room to make a fast departure, we saw several rats scurrying around!!! Of the ice machines only 1 of them worked on other side of hotel. Swimming pool was closed in July.
We checked on the Internet this morning at breakfast and a water bug is the same thing as a cockroach, just called a water bug in Alabama. Do not stay at this hotel - run!!!

We booked this hotel because it was relatively cheap and was close to where we planned on enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday. All we really needed the room for was to get a reasonably comfortable nights sleep. NOT!! As soon as we checked into the room there was a strong odor of air freshner used in a vail attempt to mask some other foul odor. The overall appearance of the room was shabby. The ceiling had some water damage that someone did a losy job in trying to repair. The carpet was very old. (we were affraid to take our shoes off) when I asked for extra pillows and sheets for the pull-out sofa bed the hotel clerk went into the back room and returned about 5 minutes later with unfolded sheets and 1 pillow. She said she could only find 1 pillow. My wife spotted a roach crawling around on the dresser that first night and that is when we decided to check out of this hotel. The hotel looks great on the outside, but when you look at the rooms, it's as if they overran thier budget before they made it to the rooms. There was hair in the sink and bathtub and the commode was kind of dirty as well. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We walked in off the street (no reservation) on our way back home to Georgia. The motels next door were booked so we tried it. The lady at the front desk was really nice and gave us they key to a room with 2 double beds. Things didn't turn bad until we went inside the room. The second we approached the door it was covered with reddish-purple stains (not sure what) and paint spackle stains. We still went in to look at what we'd just paid $65 for. It was awful. The room was dingy, dark and very dirty. The floor had obviously not been vaccuumed in months, if ever. Crumbs covered the nightstand. I pulled down the comforters to look at the sheets and almost vomited. One comforter had a huge urine stain on and the sheets/pillows to both beds were covered with hairs and stains of varying colors. Oh and 2 pubic hairs were on the telephone. It was late at night but I refused to stay there. Everything in Birmingham was full that night so we ended up driving a little outside town to Pell City where we were able to find nice, clean accomodations. But the Park Inn at the airport in Birmingham is disguisting. Do not recommend to anyone for any reason.

walked up to front desk and asked for a room with two double beds. The desk clerk was short with us from the start, but I was respectful. We made a deal and I was handed a key. Room was on the other side of the building. Walked in - King Size bed and a couch, no double beds. Went back, explained the situation, repeated request for 2 beds and was handed a new key, no apology. Drove back to the new room, what do you guys know ?, king size bed again. Went back to the front desk the clerk was not the least bit apologetic and offered no explanation, just looked at me. Ask for and got my money back and found a hotel about 1/2 mile away for twenty bucks less and it was nicer and I had my two beds on the first try.
