Top 25% of all hotels, based on cleanliness and condition.
AAA Inspector Notes
This very attractive hotel features roomy, up-to-date guest rooms with meticulous triple-sheet beds. The property includes a large parking area and spacious, well-maintained grounds. The staff is professional and always friendly.
36 units. 1 story, exterior corridors.
The hotel was clean and convenient. It had a very adequate continental breakfast. I was traveling with my brother and sister-in-law, who are elderly and it was very nice for them being on one level. It had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay away from home.
Pros: I liked the cleanliness and the comfort of table and chairs in the room. Also the coffee and appliances although I didn't use them this trip.
Cons:
10.0

Overall, if you are a traveler to Northport or Tuscaloosa, Alabama, this is a great hotel regardless of your reason for traveling. It's conveniently located near the University of Alabama campus, but it is far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle of campus life. The price is reasonable because of the free wireless and wired Internet available as well as the room amenities. While the bathroom is very small, the rest of the room is nice for the price (including the flat screen television and fridge/microwave). It was very quiet during our stay.
Pros: Staff and management was excellent.
Cons: Bathroom was small.

When you first drive up, expectations may be low due to the fact that it is an older, one story motel type facility. However, upon entry, you will find a very nicely remodeled facility, that is both clean and smart. While not luxurious, a very nice hotel and very clean rooms. We enjoyed the continental breakfast which matched the level of hotel. We met the GM and he was a very friendly, helpful man. I will stay there the next time in the area.
Pros: Very well put together.
Cons:

Pros: The rooms were okay. The tv was good. The wifi was easy to get onto and was fast enough that I could stream movies with no buffering.
Cons: The breakfast was terrible. The bed comforter was stained and had a couple cigarette burns on it. When I checked in the toilet was clogged and I had to borrow a plunger from the front desk to fix it.

Pros: the bed was very comfortable.. the room is very nice. a bit small, but newly updated. The TV was great with direct TV.. lots of channels...We did not try the breakfast, but they had lots to choose from. The only negative is having to go up the road a bit and make a U-turn to come back to the property when coming from Tuscaloosa. We have stayed here before and will stay again.. great place to stay.
