Everything was great except when we checked out on Saturday & Sunday there were no luggage racks. I noticed when we checked in on Friday, there were only two for the whole building. Several of us staying there had to make several trips carrying everything. We have been staying here for the last 4 1/2 years while our daughter attended Bama. You need more luggage racks, especially during the busy back to school & all school year.

This was absolutely the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in. It was very busy, but you couldn't hear doors close, anyone talking, any traffic, any bathroom sounds or anyone's television! We are extremely impressed. Furthermore, the breakfast offerings included fruit, yogurt, and the best hot cinnamon rolls ever!
