Spent an unexpected week here visiting my child at University of Alabama and the large suites were modern , clean and perfect! We had everything we needed to “live” here like home away from home! The staff was wonderful. The location is close to the university and all the restaurants . This was our home away from home . Roll Tide !

Numerous fingernail clippings on the floor, fingerprints and handprints on headboard of bed, dirty doors where hands frequent, carpets torn and dirty at elevator and entrance to room, trim on doors not wiped down. The staff was very nice. Karen brought us towels and was extremely nice. The man at the front desk when we checked in was also very nice.
