The hotel is decent, but not for the amount of money that they charged. The pool was broken so I couldn’t use it.
There is a smell throughout the entire hotel that isn’t pleasant.
Most definitely in need of renovation.

The room smelled so bad of cigarette smoke. Walls stained. Shower curtain and walls yellow. The filters in the air conditioning are coated in huge lint balls. I don’t think they ever change them. This also contributes to the
Horrific cigarette smell. All of our belongings ended up smelling like smoke. Absolutely disgusting. I would never stay here again.

Because it is on McFarlane Boulevard, which is like a highway, it’s a little difficult getting there, and occasionally hear the hot rods and trucks at night. Everything is great, except the TV service is at best adequate

The motel is not bad but the room had been smoked in and smelt like an ashtray. We got gouged for over $800 for a single night on a normal $125 room because of Alabama/LSU football weekend. Shower hot water took 10 minutes to get lukewarm. There was no soap, shampoo in the shower dispensers. If you're going to gouge your rates to over 8x normal, which i get, at least stock the toiletries and deodorize the room.

My only complaint was the smoking outside of our room. I opened the door to get something out of my car and smoke rolled in my room. The neighboring rooms sit outside of their rooms and smoke cigarettes. I think they need a designated smoking area away from rooms. It was very clean and the staff was very nice.

The room was very small.
The lighting was terrible the bathroom light connected to a mirror above sink , could not use bathroom without lighting entire room up at night .
Periodically throughout stay a smell of sewage would come through vent in bathroom ..
Only two bath towels two wash cloth and one hand towel for room .
The dispensing soaps in shower hardly worked .
The traffic on Main Street made it hard to sleep .
The continental breakfast was terrible .
Over all it was one of the worst hotels I have stayed in and one of the most expensive .
It was terrible

OK, but no for next time

Room was \"clean\", but I still checked for bed bugs. Sketchy and loud neighbors. Bumps in the night. I put the chair and stool in front of door. Chose because of availability and price, but will pay for better place next time.

Thank you

More of a Motel feel, but was very clean, comfy bed, decent breakfast, and 55-65 inch tv in bedroom.

Negative thing would be accessing the place from the busy road and having to do a U-turn to access.

The (big) street intersection close to the property is under construction so it is a mess, but the property was a solid place to spend the night while traveling. The grounds were nicer than most Best Westerns, the room was clean, the breakfast was good and the manager was nice. We were not expecting anything fancy. It was a good value and we would stay there again.

Nice stay

Our stay was very nice. Rooms real clean and nice. The mattress was great (slept like a baby both nights). Only, not really complaint is when we first went in it did have a funny smell. Overall I will be staying here again when I go to see a Bama game. RTR!!!

We had a problem with the air conditioner & were promptly moved into a different, convenient room; much appreciated. Breakfast was nice; enough variety & hot foods were warmed, cold kept cold. Everything else was decent. It’s close to family, too, so we will return.

Stop heading south

The hotel is older but has been totally updated. We always like parking by our room since we travel with a car load. The bed was comfortable, staff nice, the bathroom was small, but the room is large. The breakfast was good. We will make this a regular stop in the future.

Charged me $50 to get a “non smoking” room at 10pm at night. Hotel is definitely not 8.4 stars. It’s old and run down. Enter from the outside parking lot to each room. Wouldn’t refund money to go stay somewhere nicer. I’ll never stay here again. $400 for a sh!thole.

The hotel staff were very accomodating to my family and needs during my stay for my fathers funeral. Even though the price hike during Alabama Football home games is the norm, i was able to secure an extra room at a decent rate. The rooms are very clean and spaciuos too. I'll have no problem staying here again when visiting my relatives in Aliceville whenever I return. True southern hospitality!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and tidy but the property could use a little TLC/updating. The bathroom had a mildewy smell which I'm sure is a result of a hot/humid climate but makes you feel like it isn't clean

I was charged a $100 deposit for a non-smoking room, which won't be returned for 5 business days. However, one of the comforters had a cigarette burn. The bathroom had hair strands on the walls, and mildew seeped out from the edges around the bathtub. The TV had no service. It's the worst hotel experience ever. I will never stay here again and recommend anyone contemplating staying at this Best Western Catalina location seriously refrain from doing so.
