The customer service from the staff was great. The hotel was dirty in the room plus several leaks in the ceiling. Not sure how they got a 8.6 rating its a 6 at best . I will not be staying here again. Checked out after 1 night.

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.

This is the perfect property when visiting Gardendale. My family lives literally right down the street, and all town shops and restaurants are mere minutes away. Secluded yet convenient. Front desk staff and housekeeping are always a pleasure to work with. Breakfast buffet is outstanding. Pool and exercise room nice and well kept. i am always treated well at checkin/checkout. Great place

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.
