Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was friendly. The dining/breakfast station and sitting area were spacious, with good lighting, clean, neat, and with many options. Have strong smoke odor in the hallway, possibly because of old carpet and people smoke in the stairway. The room was clean but the bathroom is outdated. For what the area has to offer, I will recommend this hotel.

Bathroom had dirty towels hanging on the door from the previous individual who stayed there. The lobby going down to the elevator, trash and towels, sitting there for more than one day. Front desk staff looked like they rolled out of bed.

Best Stay in Bessemer
Friendliest staff I have ever encountered. Thorough in explaining what the hotel had to offer, including complimentary cold and room temp bottles of water as well as a delicious continental breakfast. Waffle bar was delicious, as were the sausage, Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs with cheese, and fancy juice and coffee machines. Room was lacking a few wash rags that were not available upon request. Otherwise, we had a great stay.
