The staff was very friendly upon check-in. The room was clean and well kept. Very convenient to the interstate, restaurants, and shopping. Close to Birmingham, but far enough away from the city traffic.

Best part was it didn't have unnecessary lights and windows that kept you from sleeping and the water pressure and shower head for my husband was to die for .

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was rude, charged myself and another guest twice for the same night. Broken door handles and the door to the room was crooked. It scraped along the floor when you tried to open it. The “jacuzzi” was in ill repair and dirty. For what we paid, we could have had a nicer property in a much more convenient area.

Front desk had not processed an Expedia Cancellation when we arrived. Had the email where indeed it was cancelled, front desk clerk had to call her manager to get approval to make the cancellation. Then she finally checked us into our rooms. This was the first time at a Best Western, will be really hard pressed to book again.
