Roach Infested, crawling down the walls in the bed. Mold on bathroom walls. Requested a light blub never got it. Contacted the front desk twice to let them know the Smoke detector had a low battery and was beeping. This continued until I checked out. The refrigerator froze everything in it. The electrical outlets needed to be replaced. Not a one of them held a cord securely. There is trash and car parts all around the motel and property, vehicles with flat tires and extension cords running from the room to outside. It's in a questionable side of town the property has to be gated however I was more concerned with what was going on inside the gate than outside.

The facility is run down. There are people hanging around outside at night. The rooms are really old and subpar, NOTHING like the pictures. The sheets were clean and smelled like they were cleaned with bleach. The bathroom smelled of strong mold/mildew and the sink had a sewage smell coming from it. I did not see any bugs inside my room but there were roaches on the outside of my room door.

Older property BUT...positives: Nice staff, clean room (206), comfortable bed and I slept well, free pets, gated and secure for exiting vehicles, security cameras on all sides of property, laundry facilities, new exterior paint, ongoing renovations room by room, large property, staff cleaning parking lot debris daily, outdoor pool, microwave in lobby, vending machines, coffee carafe in lobby. Negatives: sink faucet very loose, very limited towels, only 2 pillows on the bed, door handle secure but I had to reset handle on interior each time I exited in order for deadbolt to retract into door and secure room, some rooms rented to Section 8 so Bbq's and other personal gear outside doors, exits from second floor limited to ends of buildings making any emergency exiting not as fast as it could be. My only real negative concern was waiting almost two hours for extra towels and extra pillows. No apologies for the lag. New construction materials neatly stacked and out of the way, so its quite evideht good effort is progressing on renovations.

They take 50$ for a deposit and usually it stays pending and then releases. This time it went through so expect an extra 50$ until your refund comes which is who knows when. Other motels we stay at just hold your card number so I won’t be staying here anymore. Very sketchy area and they put me in the back which was worse. No fridge and no microwave which again is unusual. Makes for a miserable 3 day stay. Definitely a no return choice for our next stay when working in the area.

It’s been raining and there’s a drip that’s super loud right outside the door. It’s so loud that it sounds like it’s in the room. I can hear every word my neighbors say and every word on their TV. I’ll pay the extra $20/night and stay in a nicer place next time.

Honest Staff and Nice Motel

It was ok for the one night I stayed. If I had a longer trip planned, I would have gotten something different. Small room and small bathroom with a shower only-no bathtub. It was nice and clean when I looked inside. You can hear people talking and walking outside the room so the walls aren’t sound proof. They said they charged me twice for the $50 reserve fee, so they credited that back to my account. I’m glad the staff was honest about that. All in all, it is a nice motel if you don’t need too much.

A Perfect Place

Ashley checked me in. She is very friendly & helpful. I would go see her for a few minutes before she finished work. We talked about Bessemer & what a wonderful town it is. She said it was a safe town and a great place to raise a family. People would come to the desk & no matter what they needed, she was efficient & took care of everyone who needed something. Mr P was there in the morning to greet everyone with a nice hot cup of coffee. He was very friendly & helpful with directions. I planned to stay one nite, but the people, the room, the pool was so enjoyable that l stayed an extra nite. The place has no negative people hanging around & they have security for all who might want to know the quality of safety. A suburb place for a family with young children, the elderly with convenient handicap parking & everyone in-between.
The beds are a dream to sleep on & maid service is very efficient. I will always return to this place when l go to B'ham. It's got downhome flavor!!

The pool is very murky, the rooms are OK especially for the price. The outside of the hotel looks kinda rundown if you get a queen bed or a single bed room, you have to go upstairs. Which makes no sense because you would think disabled would be downstairs so they should have one bed rooms downstairs there’s no elevator so there’s no way for handicap to get upstairs.

I’ll start by saying the staff were super friendly and nice. The first room wouldn’t open so they had to move us. When they did the room was dripping yellow stains on the wall, the toilet seat was peeling and falling apart, the shower was tiny and the curtain filthy. The furniture was also disgusting except the bed. The original room that wasn’t opening was above us and they decided that 11pm at night was the best time to do construction level work to fix it. We had been driving all day and just wanted to sleep so we finally fell asleep for a few hours and proceeded to wake up first thing to drive somewhere else to shower and relax. Absolutely atrocious.

It was definitely 2 star. The parking lot was a little dicey, but they had armed security. I wouldn't recommend for families. The room was clean, but odd. No shampoo or facial tissue, so that was inconvenient as I usually utilize both. Turned out being about $95 and I've been in much better for that price.

So we decided to take a bath or a shower and it smelled like a sewer really bad nevertheless we took a shower. Upon using the restroom the door was broke and after using the restroom the toilet stopped up all night until 8:00 in the morning when the manager came in and he just looked at it. He did give me another room to use the restroom but that was horrible situation with the toliet stopping up. This hotel was embarrassing

Sad I didn't get to see an episode of cops here

\"Manager\" -do not respond to this with a generic reply. It's very distasteful to see you comment the same reply to every review. So skip mine while you're ahead.

Booked a room as we were going through there. Got there about midnight. I have lived in conditions like this, so it was familiar, but never again.
People high as hell, hooting' and hollering until 5 am, then I started reading the reviews on this place. Couldn't fall asleep because I was worried I'd have to beat a tweaker for breaking into my vehicle.
The room is subpar, had a bed at least to sleep, or try to. Took a shower but didn't feel clean kind of room.
No breakfast, but I don't blame them, coffee was offered.
The pool looked the best out of everything surprisingly. Didn't use it as we were just headed through and just stopped for rest.

Sad I didn't get to see an episode of cops here like the reviews suggest. Would have been entertaining at least.

Just plain bad

Hotel is difficult to figure out how to access. You can see it from the main road but its drive isn't marked. Once there you have to find a parking spot around the building and walk back around to the office for check in. You cannot drive all the way around the building either because the loop has rope and road cones blocking. I walked into the office and waited over 10 minutes before a clerk arrived. There's no bell to ring for service. There's a security guard outside the door that never looked up from playing on his phone the entire time i was in the area. While walking to my room i was solicited by a woman that looked liked she had not slept for about 2 weeks straight. Once in the room i discovered it's floor had soft spots in more than a couple areas i walked. The door had gaps with cold air rushing into the room. The tv didnt work. The beds are mattresses sitting on top of a wooden structures with a sheet and blanket thats not much thicker than the sheet. Floors sink and shower were dirty. The toilet didnt flush and had old remains of toilet paper floating in it. I was tired from my trip and it was late so i wiped the shower with a towel then cleaned myself up and went to sleep. Woke up next morning to a roach crawling on my chest. As i was leaving i was solicited by another woman in the same room as the 1 from the night before. The door was wide open and i got a view of the 1st woman undressed on the bed that made me skip breakfast and lunch. Wont ever go back there.
