“Better pay with cash”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Horrible customer service from the guys who work there and would rather be somewhere else than dealing with customers. After losing our home from the tornadoes in April we stayed there a good bit because it's all we could afford. Everything was great until sept when I was charged again for a night in august and made my account go into the negative to -$300.

So not expecting this transaction all my other transactions started pilling on $35 late fees. After speaking with them the first time I never received a return phone call. Second time I was put on hold for 14 minutes till I hung up and called back. That time they heard it was me and said they were putting me on hold and hung up on me. Then finally my wife talked to one of the rude men who stated they had a computer problem. I guess it lasted one month. There was nothing they could do for us and said have a great day.

My bank said they should refund the money and the overdraft fees. But that was laughable. Needless to say we are still without a home for our family and had to spend $300 to cover their mistake. Thanks for all your help in our time of need. We will never be back.

I would like to start by thanking you for the opportunity to improve our service, and offer my apology for the inconvenience you’ve suffered.
I do know that we were having difficulties with our credit card processing, where payments were hitting guests’ banks up to a month later than anticipated. This resulted in confusion, as they were by then unexpected transactions. However, I am unaware of an issue resulting in duplicate transactions, and will be looking into the matter to insure it doesn’t recur. I am also sorry to hear that your experiences calling in were less than satisfactory and will take this opportunity to speak with our staff regarding timely responses to calls and questions.
If there is ever any way I may help you with this issue, or in the future, please feel free to contact me.
Again, thank you for the feedback, and I apologize for your negative experiences with us.

“Great Hotel at a Great Price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

We came here for our daughter's wedding and had 3 rooms reserved. We were impressed with the facilities and were treated kindly by the front desk personnel, they were even able to handle some special last minute requests without any difficulty. We stayed for 3 nights and slept comfortably each night (quiet rooms, comfortable beds) and had a nice continental breakfast each morning. This is a GREAT hotel for the money and we will definitely stay here again when we come to the Birmingham area. Having the WalMart and good restaurants nearby is a plus. Highly recommend this location!

Stayed at the Microtel for a couple of months while house was being builit. Very reasonable rates and very satisfied with the staff and service. Very pet friendly which was nice considering we had a hairy friend staying with us over the two months. Continental breakfast nicely layed out every morning. Free USA today paper M-Friday. Convieniently located next to restaraunts. I would have no problems recommending this hotel to any friends who were visiting the birmingham area.
