"Great Place to Stay"
Overall score5.0/ 5
We recently stayed over a weekend to attend the Trail of Tears Ride in Alabama. The room was clean and the staff was very nice. On one side of the hotel you have Whataburger restaurant and the other side is an Applebee's. Both places you can walk to. There are lots of gas stations close by and a Walmart if you need essentials you may have forgotten. I definitely will be staying again when I'm back in the area.
