Travel Nurse

I found it on this app to get a room to stay in for starting a shift to work as RN
Cynthia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Older family-run motel but very clean and the room didn’t smell funny like some places do. It had everything we needed for one night.
Anne, 1-night trip

Meshach, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Filth for sale.

This place is an abject dump. It’s filthy and it’s falling apart. There was someone else’s butt dust on the toilet rim when we got there. It’s grim and should probably be shut down. At $75/night it is probably overpriced by about $70, although the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Stay away.
Douglas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Conveniently located to the UAB campus and the music venues in that area. It was quiet. Nice tv, but remote wasn't matched up well enough to look at tv guide, etc. Great space for just catching a night's rest.

2/10 Poor

The property was fine, but expidia is terrible. I am 18 in the military trying to get a hotel and i cant

Kristie J, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed one night passing through. The price was right. There was a mini-fridge and a microwave that worked. The room was pretty standard for an eco hotel. The floor in the hotel room needed some cleaning.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The neighbourhood was safe, albeit not pedestrian-friendly (thank City of Hoover for that), hotel was not in the greatest of conditions, but I did feel safe & secure there. Housekeeping definitely needs to step up, as I found a few small things from previous visits, as well as a cockroach as I was packing up to check-out. Showerhead and faucet in the bathroom were very, very loose to the point where I was afraid to give any more than a light touch out of fear they would fall out of the wall. But on the positive side, they did not process a deposit for incidentals, etc. Staff were great, and even stopped by my hotel room to bring me my ID Card, which I failed to retrieve during check-in. There are restaurants and a Publix supermarket nearby, but would be best if you are able to drive, since the City of Hoover apparently doesn't believe in sidewalks or pedestrian crossings.
Jared, 3-night trip

Room was older. Bed was clean. Floor was dirty. Tv remote didn’t work. Just not a room for me

It was a great stay I wish I was still there.
Jessica, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall for the price it was a good stay. Could focus on attention to detail while cleaning but other than that I was satisfied. Front desk was friendly.
Bethany, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not much to say, but all we need was a bed for sleeping that they did have
Lauretta, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We only stayed b/c transporting my mother to another hotel is difficult. Door lock broken, smokers outside, amenities non existent. I did complain but was not able to even obtain a discount. DO NOT EVER STAY HERE!!
Ann, 1-night trip

It was way better than I expected.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was cheap and thats what I needed. There was a stain on the sheet. The service was good. They knew I needed towels and I didnt have to ask. At night I was impressed at how well it was lit.
Rebekah, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

There drugs transactions going on this property, people call for drugs to be delivered and the dealer pull up beside a car where someone is sitting in their car and a transaction is made, it's so obvious one night something bad is going to happen and we all know drug dealers have guns and drama,this place needs security on the property especially at night.

icarus, 1-night trip

The buggiest stay I’ve ever had

The only positives was an easy check in and proximity to food. This hotel is not updated at all, the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor, the room has bed bugs.
