This Beat Western worked out well for us. The area is quiet and close to good restaurants and shopping. The pool area was nice and the coffee better than most places. The sink in our room had big gouges in it and the lamp on one side of the bed was missing, which i found disappointing. If we are going to the Gardendale area again, we would stay there again.

The room was on the first floor and the humidity in the room was noticable. We had the AC turned down to 65 degrees and we were either sweating or freezing. The humidity also caused some visible mold on the bathroom ceiling and on the tub fixtures. The beds weren't all that comfortable either. My mattress was soft and had a noticeable dip. The breakfast was free so I will reframe from critiquing that.

Hotel was clean. Not much interaction with staff. House keeping didn’t get to our room until after 3:00 pm. Wife and I were up early and returned for a nap at 3:00 pm as we were going to have a late night. Arrive early or parking is an issue.

Hotel is a little dated, but clean. There wasn’t a Bible in my room so I asked the front desk clerk if it was an oversight and he said Best Western doesn’t do that anymore. Just trying to get this information out there for the people that this is important to.

We stayed one night as we travel back to Texas. I always check reviews before we stay somewhere. The reviews for this hotel were pretty good so we decided to give it a try and I’m glad we did! Check in was smooth and the front desk was friendly, the room was clean, the ice machine worked great, nice hot water in the shower, the beds were very comfortable, room stayed cool, and the breakfast was great! Highly recommend staying here if you are traveling. We will stay again when we come back this way. Thank you to the staff for all that you do to make our stay comfortable.
