“Pleasantly Surprised!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I did book this hotel with some trepidation as the online reviews I read were not very complimentary. But we had last minute Bama tickets and it was the only hotel available. However, I was pleasantly surprised on our arrival. The front desk clerk (Devan) was extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and the bed and pillows comfortable. When I commented on the fact that I was expecting a far worse experience, the front desk clerk informed me that the hotel had been recently bought out and was under new management. The only "complaint" I could offer was that the guests footsteps above us was easily heard, however, I believe that is due to a frame construction vs cinder block and there is not much you can do about that! I will definitely recommend this hotel to others and will consider it again on our next trip. Roll Tide!

Room Tip: I would recommend a floor on the upper level for a more quiet stay, but we had the room on the first...

“Disgusting”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011 via mobile

Front desk was more interested in txting than assisting me with my check in, building was nasty, room is small, and not sure what the huge stain on the desk chair was, don't waste your time!

“Stay away!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

This hotel was nothing like the pictures or past reviews. The room was small (expected) and clean, but old. The rest of the building was dingy, run-down. The family that manages/owns it must live there because the whole family was eating their dinner in the breakfast area in the evening. The smell of their dinner travelled the hallways. I could never get the wifi to work and the front desk was of little help. Free breakfast was adequate. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

“THIEVES”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

My son & I drove TWELVE HOURS down to VOLUNTEER for our Memorial Day weekend. We had booked 3 days on the internet, but checked out a day early, at 9:30 a.m. I was told that I could not get a receipt due to the internet booking. Got my bill & was charged the full 3 days. I have a receipt from another hotel in Kentucky for the same night. Imagine that. Do not use these HORRIBLE PEOPLE

“Worst Microtel I've ever stayed in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2011

We had 2 rooms, my room had the worst bed I've ever slept on, I'm thinking a 2 X 4 would have been more comfortable. Also, if anyone is reading this, please bring your own pillow, theirs are terrible. The second room we got for our guests had no air conditioner, the south with no air conditioner, hard to believe but true. We complained about the air and not one finger was lifted to assist us. They have no hospitality at this Microtel! The only person that was nice was the front desk clerk, no one else knew a lick of english. Please find another place to stay or sleep in your car, you'll be glad you did.
