Very accommodating, and clean . Some of the nicest ppl I've encountered. The manager came and helped me load all our stuff in the car and as if an old friend said we will see you next week.( the company my boyfriend works for sends him all over and is due back the next week.) Was skeptical until we got in the room and it was pleasant experience all week !

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The room was very clean and a great size and I feel safe at all times. The staff truly stands out—customer service was top-notch, friendly. This hotel has exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy to stay here for the next 13 weeks for my work contract.

For this price point, my expectations were greatly exceeded. The rooms I got were clean, the air conditioning worked, and the water was drinkable. The bedding was well-worn, so sensitive sleepers may not enjoy it, but if you need a place to crash in Sylacauga, this is worth every penny.

The place was an older place, but the room was clean and they allowed our pets for the same price. The room was a very good price and the people were friendly.

For $72 per night this is a great option if you're not picky about the quality of your room. The sheets and pillowcases were a bit old in our room and even a bit dingy but were clean. They really should replace them soon. No bugs in the room to speak of. We checked the mattress over thoroughly for bed bugs and found none. The worst part was probably the shower. The bottom of the shower curtain was starting to grow some mildew, along with the grab handle in the tub. For this cheap though you're going to have some bad stuff to talk about. We would stay here again if we were in the area.
