It was average. The hotel was being remodeled during our stay which was not a huge issue. Pool was great for the kids and room was a decent size. We didn't have enough towels in our room and the service was slow when going to the front desk.

Best ??? western ????

AC unit did not cool good. Television offered no channels to watch. They took up breakfast before the designated time ended. Although I booked on no hidden fees and taxes I was charged anyway. Tried to dispute and would’ve gone somewhere else but it was late evening and I was tired so I just paid.

Disappointing

Several things were of concern: (1) It would have been nice to know you're undergoing renovations before I booked (2) I reported an issue with my TV that was never fixed, despite them telling me they would come back or do it when I was away during the day. (3) took SEVERAL days for a simple fix of the sink, the stopper in the sink wouldn't come up. I asked a third time at around 8pm when the person at the desk wasn't there. I rang the bell as it said to and I got the most irritated stare as if I was disturbing them. (4) Several times I had to wait more than 10 minutes to get hot water.... In 2025!!! (6) this one could be just me, but I get holding off on towels, but the bed was only made ONCE for me the whole stay (6 days). If that's the norm, it's not good. How Best Western responds to this will determine if I ever stay there again. And I have to go to Decatur a lot to check up on family.

Definitely will stay again!

I was supossed to stay 3 nights, but my trip got cut short due to a family emergency. The hotel was gracious and understanding about my situation. The 1 night I did stay, the room was clean, and roomy. The only complaint i have was the water pressure for the shower could be better. But the bathroom was spacious, and clean! Thank you again best western for a great stay! Definitely will stay there again when i visit Alabama again!
