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

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.

I liked having trees all around the hotel. It gave you a feeling of a cabin in the woods with all the amenities of the hotel.

Lovely wooded surroundings and great pool. The hotel was older and had a musty smell to it. Staff was courteous and the breakfast was excellent! Overall was a decent hotel but just needs some updating.

Stay away. Run down. Lots of better values across the freeway. Inconvenient location. Manager had a/c shut off in common areas. Bed was from Jimmy Carter era. Mold in shower.

Locating the Hotel made you feel leary if you were going to the right place, no signage leading to the property. Main floor common area no ac, open doors to rooms ???, poor light was uncomfortable, darkish hallway and carpeting ( is it clean or not). Rooms were the same but were air conditioned. Bed was comfortable, poor lighting also, sink was cracked but didn’t leak? Just was disappointed.
