Reviews and Ratings
I just had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the location was fantastic. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel rooms are perfectly set up for a one or a couple, featuring a large desk, ample natural light from huge windows, and a wall-mounted TV. However, they lack drawers or clothing storage beyond 6 hangers and a curtain. The service provided, particularly by Elaine, was very good and attentive, offering perks like fresh towels and vouchers. The location is convenient for various activities, being near food, shopping, downtown, and Samford University. The dining options had some drawbacks, but the hotel facilities were overall satisfactory.
Upon arrival, the hotel seemed a bit musty and in need of updating, but our room surprised us with its cleanliness and great amenities. The WiFi was a bit slow, but fortunately, I had a laptop with an Ethernet connection. The loose security safe in the wall was a concern, though.
The hotel has a standard Aloft room, but unfortunately, it had a strong unpleasant smell each time we turned on something in the room. On the bright side, we had a balcony overlooking the street, although lacking chairs during our five-day stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall satisfying. The rooms, though a bit smaller than expected, were cozy and perfect for both work and rest. The service was exceptional, with the staff being super nice and even going out of their way to provide my boys with some complimentary treats. The location was ideal for all the sites I needed to visit, and the added bonus of a pool table made it even more inviting. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the facilities were somewhat sparse.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with spacious rooms great for our bridal party, despite a slight delay in readiness due to overbooking. The European design was charming, but there was some noise from a race event outside.
