My husband and I have stayed here a couple of times when in Huntsville on business, the conference center is part of the University and looks out upon a small Japanese garden. The rooms are comfortable enough, but bare bones, don't expect luxury or extras. The morning breakfast is they type you would expect from a college cafeteria. We use this as our emergency back-up place if the other accomodations we book do not work out. This is a clean, safe, quiet place to stay, great if you are on a tight budget.

I was a guest for 1 night at the Bevill Conference Center Hotel on Wed July 18, 2007 at a too low rate of $67/night. I am a businessman who travels a great deal, usually staying at Marriott/Hilton quality hotels, and have spent over 80 hotel nights traveling this year alone, and have NEVER had a complaint in my 20 years of travel. I used the Bevill as a last resort, because all other hotels in Huntsville were booked that night. Two days later, I received my room charge of $67, PLUS an additional credit card charge of $150 (and additional 225% of my room rate) from the Bevill, no phone call, no email explaining what this charge was. I never received an itemized bill or proof of what this is for. The manager accused me of leaving the room as a disaster with food everywhere, therefore the Bevill quickly concluded that it was indeed my room and that it was me, therefore are putting the blame (and cost) on me. I never took a single item of food into my room. She said it looked like there had been a party, and also admitted that the hotel never had a complaint from another guest about my room, and never saw me do anything wrong. Since they are at a college campus, it is much more likely that it was a different room occupied by a different guest, most likely college students. She said she would research it and call us back. She never called back. By September, the charges had not been removed, so I called the manager and she NEVER ONCE allowed me to state my complaint. She talked incessantly about how she “had pictures” and was unwilling to listen to me. Her story had changed from the first time. She never offered to disclose the pictures, which could be pictures of any room on any date, therefore she does not have proof that I did anything wrong, and does not have proof that the pictures are of my room on my night of stay. The pictures are irrelevant. I will NEVER stay at such a cheap hotel again, lesson learned. Substandard hotel, substandard customer service, and petty ($150) charges, but mostly, the rudest manager I have ever run across in my 20 years of business. It is not the money, it’s the ethics behind the practices at the Bevill Hotel.

My stay at UAH Bevill Conference Center was not very pleasing. Although I was warmly greeted by the front desk clerk, my room was not appeasing. The room was not cleaned properly and the furniture, as well as, the carpet was very old. The towels had stains. Some basic amenities were missing from the room.

When compared to other hotels in the area, UAH Bevill charges almost the same rates. The hotel and the service one receives are not worth the price paid. In addition, my room was not cleaned after being there for two (2) days. I eventually had to find another hotel and check out before my time. Not a good choice.

This hotel is definitely dated but there are some interesting twists.
Pro:
My class was in this building so there was no transportation issue in getting to class on time.
Breakfast was put out every morning on time and in sufficient quantity to feed the amount of people staying at the hotel.
The buffet lunch is definitely good. Everyday at lunch time, they put out a spread that is a solid meal--meat, potatoes, veggie, salad, roll, drink and dessert for a set price. If you are staying at the hotel, you can raise your room rate by $2 per day and get a meal ticket for the week.
By staying at the hotel, you get a pass to the University of Alabama fitness center which is fantastic. I spent every evening over there working out.
The hotel has a van at night Sunday thru Thursday only that will take you anywhere you need to go.
The wireless internet signal was strong at any location.
The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:
There are no stores nor eating places within walking distance unless you walk at least 3/4 of a mile.
The hotel is hard to find behind a big clump of bushes.
Because it was summer break, there were no facilities open after class time except the fitness center. The fitness center is 1/2 mile away from the hotel.
Trying to get a reservation was a hassle. I emailed like I was supposed to then I had to call to confirm.
The room was dated and dark with small windows and of course, the floral bedspread.
