First room we were given hadn’t been cleaned. They swapped us to another room next door. Went to the pool and no towels, after we were told the pool towels were at the pool. Went back in to get pool towels and was given ONE. “So sorry, that’s all we have” is literally what I was told as I was being handed the towel. Breakfast was typical hotel

Don’t do it.

When I arrived at check-in, there was no one at the desk, me and another guest waited 5 to 10 minutes before someone showed up to check us in. I tried calling the property. The phone rang, but nobody answered. The cell phone in the room look like it had food stains all over it and nail polish spilt on the floor by the bed. The bathtub is cracked. The bed was OK, but that’s probably the only thing.

The room was adequate for one night. It wasn’t necessarily the cleanest room and the bathroom smelled like smoke. There was also a hair extension located in the corner of the room.

Nasty

When I checked in and got to my room, I stripped the bed to put my own sheets on it. The mattress cover was dirty. It had stains, but it been on the side of it. It looked like someone had threw up and it had dried or something I got the guy working there to come look at it. He said he would put me in another room, but I would just tear it up too because I stripped the bed. He told me I could not check out till the next morning. he would only refund me for three nights instead of the four that I reserved Went on and just got off the phone with him. I did not use the room I went and got him loaded my stuff up and left. He is refusing to tell me how much the refund is he’s telling me I had to get in touch with you guys. He’s not working with me at all. I need to know how to get my refund.Best Western in Gardendale Alabama
