The owners were really professional. However the room was very dirty. The air conditioner works. I had just completed a 100 mile bike ride so I was pretty tired and did not care where I went to sleep I just needed a place to stay so even though the room was in bad condition I was thankful. If it had been a different situation where I was not as tired as I was I would not have stayed at that location I would have found a room somewhere else.

Room smelled of cigarettes even though it was listed as non smoking. There was mold under the sink, the tub faucets leaked, bugs dead throughout, food or blood on the walls. The recliner had white stains. No iron, mounted tv barely hanging on the wall. I have pictures if needed. DO NOT STAY HERE

Disappointed stay..

Room was comfortable. Tank on the toilet was loose, dirt on the shower walls, microwave was filthy, freezer needed to be defrosted, pool was under major repairs.
Owners were friendly but did not speak English very well.
Place just needed a lot of maintenance in the yard as well..
Would not stay again.

When my husband and I arrived we were given the wrong room so we went to the office the gave us another room. The new rooms door doesn’t shut and we can see daylight. The room also looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in months. The staff is very aggressive if you have issues and unwilling to do anything else to keep us safe for the night or at least give us piece of mind while we’re sleeping. I absolutely will NEVER book this rundown motel ever again.

I'm sorry, but I have to rate this poor. Because there was bugs all in the floor, bathroom was dirty, sink would not drain. Coffee marker didn'twork.. And they had the lobby closed. Had to ring a bell.
G All and all. We were only there for one night. Hopefully they will give these rooms some TLC. I think the price was to much for the room to be in bad shape 🤔 if they clean it up, and get rid of bug's. I would tell other people about it.. I know they get cleaning fees.

We didn't like anything about it. When we went to the room it clearly hadnt been vacuumed and/or swept properly. It was dead bugs on the floor. Then, when we were watching tv a roach ran across the dresser. On our second day of stay my wife killed a baby scorpion in the room. The iron and ironing board was filthy and broke which i noticed it after handling it. It was so much about this place I could say. In closing we will never stay here again it was my fault for trying to reserve our rooms so late...

Not the same hotel pictured

The hotel pictured is not the hotel. There is not a functioning pool and the pool in the pictures is not their pool.
We got our first from and there were crusty stains on the beds. We switched rooms and the next room has long black hairs everywhere. The towels, the bath tub, and sink. The floors were not vacuumed.
The toilets were mildewed. My sister and i had to go buy our own cleaning supplies, towels, blankets, pillows. Our entire family was here in different rooms for a funeral. We slept on shower curtains. Coffee makers were not working. Fridge was dirty. We had already paid to put our entire family here so could not just leave.

In reality the pool was an empty hole in the ground covered with an ugly metal roof. Bedspread was very worn and torn. Room was as clean as possible given the worn out furnishings.

First Talladega Race Stay

This was my husband's and my first trip to Talladega for the NASCAR race. Overall our stay was great, but When i booked, i asked for a non-smoking room. When we arrived, the door sign posted non-smoking but the room reeked of cigarettes wgen we opened the door. This eventually aired out, but perhaps more care in that area. Also, the cleaning person didnt automatically clean, change and restock everything. We had to tell management. This should be addressed. Each time a room is done, the cleaning aide should look to see that all items are restocked. On the positive side, management removed our malfunctioning fridge and replaced it with a good one from the next room. Management was quick to sign us in and was very friendly. Anything we needed he took care of quickly. He just took over this place so not too critical. We will be back next year.

Worst hotel

I arrived at the hotel a little earlier than expected. The owner had let me check in earlier due to military obligations. I had walked into the room and the room smelled like weed, the bed had stains all over, and their was mold on it. I had to leave after taking a shower. I told the manager while leaving and I told him I would be back after a certain time. I had came back after my military obligation, and I saw a new manager. She stated that he did not want to change my room and I should of came to him. But the manager said she would change it. I go in the next room and it smelled, had mold on the fridge, the bed had holes in the sheets, stains in the comforter on the Opposite side. The sink was stopped up, the shower also. I think this was the worst hotel to go to.. I never will go here again.

I was thrilled to see the fridge was not tiny and it was also cold and worked well. The last 2 places I’ve stayed, the fridge was barely cool. It’s a great choice for the price. NO bed bugs nor roaches. It’s was clean. The tv was a little dusty but that’s all. If in the area again I will use the same place. Did I mention Extremely nice, Cheerful staff.

Nice and quiet and very clean. Love parking right outside my door. Great wi-fi and Direct TV with loads of channels. The decor leaves much to be desired. It was a mish-mash of color and styles including pictures hung way above eye level. Bedding could use an upgrade and more pillows would have been nice. My biggest complaint is the lack of accessible outlets for charging my electronica. Great price, though.

Horrible!

Where do I start?! The owner tried to tell us that we hadn’t paid a deposit when we had a credit card receipt. He was extremely rude every time there was any interaction. Charged us $20.00 more than than our reservation because there was a sofa bed in the room but our reservation was for a room with a sofa bed. The housekeeper appeared to be a meth addict and had her boyfriend hanging out with her while she was cleaning. We did not let her into our room to clean! If you are planning on breakfast don’t. There were only a few bananas, 1 kind of cereal and a few bottles of juice. We were there for a race and there wasn’t another hotel room to be found so we were stuck. The absolute worse experience we have ever had all around. There we’re so many other major negatives that I’m not even mentioning because I think you get my point on how bad it was. The extreme hostility and rudeness of the owner are beyond unacceptable.
