This is a very nice hotel I travel all over the country for work, so I’m constantly in different hotels, and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve been in The rooms are very nice, comfortable, and kept very clean

The whole hotel is very nice and clean The staff are superbly kind and helpful, and will go out of their way to accommodate you The free breakfasts and dinners are great too It’s not fine dining, but it’s free and tasty, what more could you want? And the complimentary 3 drinks a night is a very nice touch, I always enjoyed myself at dinner

Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your hotel This web site will compare countless booking websites and typically will have rooms much cheaper than others! You’re welcome :)! This resort is the best rated in this area

I’ve been coming here for a long time If you stay for a few days you definitely will love it I’m sure!Absolutely loved staying here Lovely warm welcome We had a suite and it was fantastic, rooms were big and had everything we needed to feel comfortable Complimentary food and 3 free drinks each Would definitely stay here again

A.N. Explores

The people that work here are so so nice and friendly They’re happy to help if you need anything Definitely made our stay that much better

While the rooms could use updating (replace chairs, & carpeting) the rooms, beds, and bathroom was spotless The beds were very comfortable I was so thankful to have a very clean room The shower has a wall hanging pump for body wash, shampoo and soap which was nice as well as a blow dryer Mini fridge and microwave inside the dresser furniture piece A good hot breakfast & dinner buffet, 3 alcoholic beverages included during the dinner, & there’s fountain sodas I don’t drink but they were so nice to make us virgin margaritas and it doesn’t count against your 3 drinks card Pop corn wasn’t good and didn’t have any butter or flavor, would be great if they could get some buttery popcorn for the next visit The hot tub has some powerful jets which felt good, and a large swimming pool that goes from inside to outside There’s a pool towel area inside to quickly grab a towel I felt very safe staying here, it’s a nice area We will definitely be back when visiting the area again

Susan Wadley

Staff was super friendly and helpful Hotel is in a great location and off of the main road, so it feels like a “getaway” The pool was fantastic

They have a basketball court and even will provide you with a basketball, which made my kids very happy Room was spotless and quiet Bathroom was spotless and the water was nice and hot with great water pressure Thank you for making our trip wonderful!

Robert McDonald

Pulling up the place looks great Nice building and grounds Check in and lobby are nice

Staff is amazing, very welcoming The bad is the rooms They are dated and dirty We had just drove 8hrs on the way to the beach and needed to stop for the night We let our twins play on the floor after checking for anything laying around After 20 mins they had black feet and knees So time for a bath Tub needs resurfaced Overall it’s OK, breakfast was great They just need a little help with cleaning and some updates Beds were clean and comfortable Flood light outside bedroom was odd but blackout shades worked well

Tim Grass

The suite was spacious and clean Seconds away from groceries, Starbucks, gas and more The staff was extremely friendly and helpful

The complimentary breakfast was better than many other hotels Pre-maid egg omelettes with veggies, sausage, potatoes, fresh waffles with chocolate chips or walnuts or strawberries, pastries, cereal, grits, etc A great stay

Mickie Mitre

Truly a special and unique place! As a return guest, we are just as awestruck at the loving attention to detail as the first visit We have lived all over the world and found Hassinger Daniel’s mansion one of the most unique places we’ve found Sheila has curated a gorgeous mansion filled with exquisite antiques filling every room each telling a different story! We loved the Southern Belle room filled with beautiful antique gowns -see if you can find the hidden wedding gown

Truly a memorable experience sleeping in a living antique filled mansion And Shelia’s gracious hospitality is not to be missed at a lovely morning Breakfast family style together We will be back again!

Chase Stiles

Let’s start with some of the negatives I’ve read in the review section… I would personally say that most of those people that complained did not pay attention to the style of bed & breakfast this is when they booked or they just like tarnishing a locally owned business’ reputationThat may sound harsh but Sheila works very hard (you can clearly tell) to ensure that people there feel welcome and comfortable She can tell you so much history about the building, surrounding area and even the city

She is very sweet and accommodating No this is not like a Holiday Inn No this is not like an air b&b or even a regular b&b That’s what makes it a fun and unique experienceThe room was great just don’t expect every commodity a hotel room would have That is the exact reason you chose this place though right? That’s what makes it great It was unlike any other stay I’ve experienced The place as a whole is very secure and I felt very safe during our stay and coming and leaving the mansion The interior was also very refreshing and visually pleasing each time we returned from our adventures (dinner, concert, bar etc)The location is also centrally located in Birmingham and pretty convenient Plenty of restaurants and shops are walkable but our particular agenda had us driving 5-10 minutes each time which was still very convenient Parking is slightly tight in the available parking but I don’t think that it’s unreasonable Again, this is a very unique property There’s not a giant hotel parking lot waiting for you hereOverall, I find it hard to write anything negative here because I am happy to see a hard working person such as Sheila do so well at something so special; restoring and preserving a mansion ALONE (her & her husband started this project together but he has since passed) and doing a damn great job on top of that We loved our stay and will definitely return if we find ourselves in Birmingham againTHANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU OFFER SHEILA!-you deserve a 50 rating on google not a 43-don’t listen to the people who just need something to complain about guys, this place is a cool & fun stay-it will not have the same setup as a typical hotel but is in my personal opinion just as comfortable and more enjoyable

Belle Paniagua-Novak

Such a beautiful place to stay! I stayed in the Peacock room last night and it was lovely The bed and sheets were so comfortable! The breakfast was DELICIOUS! This was my first time ever at a B&B and I loved every moment of it The wifi was very fast and easily accessible as well

I highly recommend a stay! Next time I need a break from home I’ll be checking in again 🙂

I reserved three rooms for a concert Not only were my preferences accommodated, all of the rooms were clean and functional The front desk agent was super sweet and patient (my card wanted to give us a little bit of trouble because it’s a new card)

The breakfast was phenomenal My mother enjoyed the pool as well If I’m ever in the area again, this will definitely be the hotel I go to!

Maranda Cristo

When we arrived, it was already late in the evening We had a suite booked for 6 First, the biggest issue was THE AC DID NOT WORK!!!! They tried to tell us it was a switch but that didn’t work and the entire 3rd floor was hot

Others issues were also present The sofa bed had no linens on it or in the closet So I had to go down and get some There was only 3 towels so again, had to go get some The bathroom had no body wash at all No ice in the ice machines The futon mattress looked like it had Cheeto stains on it The floors were so sticky Not worth the $222 spent to stay here The only saving grace was their staff was incredible The overnight check in lady was very kind and the gentleman working breakfast was super hard working

Michael Stewart

Do yourself a favor and do not stay here We were told 4 pillows and a comforter were missing Look at the size of the pillows

How in the world can we take something that big??? We would need a spare suitcase to do that Plus it’s not like they’re not going to notice it missing Evidently it was an internal theft Don’t make the same mistake we did and stay here You could be their next victim

Umida Karimova

Never had such a bad experience with hotels before Rooms had unpleasant smell, not clean Carpet was wet from leaking AC

Chair was broken, we asked for another one but ended up with another broken chair, lol No one cleaned the room or refilled with soap, towels and other things Trash can was full, no one took care of that Awful customer service as well I will not book this hotel ever again, doesn’t worth for the price at all and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Lise Gomora

It was ok We’re a family of 5 plus baby Booked this hotel because they could accommodate us, had the pool, and breakfast

Was not cheap Room was fine, beds comfy but high up The shower/tub was nice good pressure and hot water The ac was wonky we had to fuss with the machine under the window, don’t bother with the thermostat Disappointed with the pool- it was so hot in there no ac no air flow we couldn’t stand it Basket of floaties but most of them deflated and a few small towels Pool was dirty there were things floating in it, and when we got back the kids eyes were red and itchy Breakfast was also not good it was fake cheap food that had already been sitting out, even my kids wouldn’t eat it we still had to get breakfast elsewhere Staff was ok They didn’t clean out or refill the room when we were gone so the trash filled up and we kept asking for towels It was ok not worth the price for the ‘Pool and breakfast’

Matthew Rabold

Very friendly and welcoming staff Hotel is in very good area for food and dining options The only problem is accessing this site during afternoon/evening rush hour traffic

Room was clean and everything worked Linens were clean and plentiful Very comfortable and quiet, I was surprised due to the fact when I checked out at 03:00 the parking lot was packedThe only thing I have an issue about is that my Choice Privileges account isn’t showing up Hopefully it will and I would gladly return to this hotel

Monica Cumberbatch

Very nice experience Claudia (Claudine?) at front desk was very pleasant The beds were very comfortable and I had a great night’s rest being tired traveling through many states

I got to the coffee station just as they were taking down breakfast and the lady was so kind to help me get my to go breakfast before she started Many other places I’ve stayed I’ve experienced much impatience and a lack of acknowledgement The room(s) could do with an upgrade but overall Great job Comfort Inn!

Harrison Slusser

If I had to describe my stay at this hotel as fair I stayed here with my local church for Motion It was not among the worst of the worst of hotel stays that I have been on

After waiting for our room, which is understandable due to the difficulty of acquiring workers in today’s economy, my leader and roommate found that the room was clean It had a microwave and a minifridge which is a nice amenity However, I do have some complaints The stained sheets, smoke smell, damp room, and occasional cockroaches in the tub were all things that I might be able to overlook My main issue, that was also shared with the rest of the group, was with the employee who prepared and served the breakfast They did not act professionally in their workplace I personally caught a lot of flack for the breakfast rush that she apparently encountered on the previous day Me and my leader came down for breakfast and they asked me if there was anyone behind me I struggle with hearing people sometimes and when they spoke to me I did not hear them so I said, “Sorry, I did not hear you” Their reply was to look at the employee next to them and exclaimed, “See, that’s just how these kids are! Disrespectful and rude” They later stormed off to the breakfast prep room when met with two more tables and slammed the door behind them I’m not sure what provoked them this morning but I hope that it is only her experience from yesterday that she is still bitter about I do hope it is that rather than anything else that might actually be worth slamming a door on some kids who wanted some breakfast before they headed out for the dayAll in all, these are the only issues I had and I was able to get some rest in between the two nights I spent at the Motion convention I wish you a great rest of your day, and I pray that that employee is given some peace and patience

Susan Scott Ferrell

Great customer service Clean room Wonderful, central location

Parking lot fully lit and safe If ever in Birmingham again, will definitely stay hereAn aside, the hallways and elevators are very warm and humid Definitely a turnoff, as was trying to get the room cool enough We were told this was due to a new system installed that pulls air from the outside – not great when it’s July in Alabama! Overall, though, very pleased!!!

Marquita Gibbs

This hotel is beautiful and in a quiet area When we arrived and checked in, there was an issue with our room Nelson at the front desk accommodated us quickly and made sure we were comfortable for our stay

The breakfast had many options and we were very pleased Kelsey and the main cook were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of Their hospitality made celebrating our special occasion an even more joyous event Definitely recommend this hotel

Bill Fortenberry

The hotel personnel were amazing They were very professional and friendly Unfortunately, the building itself seems to be suffering from some structural issues

There was a large dip in the middle of the floor of our room, and the floor of the bathroom was so off level that the toilet lid would not stay up and the sliding door for the shower would not stay closedWe at breakfast at the hotel “restaurant,” but we would have been better off eating somewhere else There was not a free breakfast provided, and we would have had no issue with paying for a decent meal, but the food was the exact same fare that we would have gotten for free at any other hotel in the area It was also annoying that breakfast was served an hour later on Saturday than on FridayWe did appreciate the fact that the clientele at this hotel are mostly business leaders as opposed to vacationers The hallways were very quiet, and we did not have any disturbances during the night Overall, it was a good stay, but I don’t think we’ll be back given the structural problems and the lack of a real restaurant

Nice, quiet place with a great staff The meeting room served us well for a training facility, on short notice Very accommodating

Very close to many restaurants and storesUpdate (after a total of 35 nights, this year): I am still impressed, and enjoying my stay So impressed, I just reserved a room for another 18 nights

Sara Profitt

Rooms had soaking wet floors, even after not checking in until 10pm Cleaning came in on us without asking and woke us up at around 7am Rooms smelled TERRIBLE

Like burnt wet towels and mildew Shower heads were super gross Elevator broke and we got stuck inside We also see every other person who use the elevator while we were in the lobby get stuck They would just pry the door open and not tell anyone it was broken until the very next day

Joel Sterling

Ok At first I was pleased with the location and upgraded exterior, but it all went south when we entered our room Also, I absolutely understand staffing shortages (everybody has an issue with staffing right now), but the stuff we saw on our room is inexcusable

I will say that the staff at the front desk was pleasant and helpful, so I’ll give them that Our room came with a hideaway bed (sleeper sofa) which we did use Upon opening the sofa, we discovered a mattress cover that hadn’t been changed for months, if ever There was even a used Qtip swab stuck to the cover as well as rust stains (blood ?), hair, other yellowish stains, etcvery grossI requested and received extra sheets from the front desk and made a nice barrier before actually making the bed In the bathroom we discovered toothpaste smeared on the door, a bar of used non-hotel soap in the soap dish, and a tub that drained very slowly It was very late and we had to book this room 45 miles from our destination as all Tuscaloosa hotels were full that weekend, so we stuck it out Otherwise, we would have probably just left I try not to nitpick but I felt these were glaring issues that should have been addressed by the housekeeping staff On a brighter note, the breakfast bar was well stocked, and tasty, especially the fresh waffles

The room was nice and clean Everything that we needed The casing of the AC unit kept falling off I also don’t think it was working correctly since we had it set on 68 and it was still warm in the room

The pool needed cleaned and the breakfast wasn’t great The prepackaged muffins and yogurt were the best items they had Oh and the fire alarm went off right as we had fell asleep

GH0ST420

This is the absolute BEST hotel in the area! Trust me, I’ve stayed at every single hotel in Pelham, pretty much My family was suddenly kicked from our home during covid, and we tried several different hotels before finally landing in the BW It’s easy to overlook because they don’t have huge flashy signs like the other neighboring hotels, but everything about this place is wonderful

I can even say, during one of the worst times of my life, the BW was a home for us, when we needed one the most It was always quiet, breakfast is supplied for guests, which was really helpful since we were completely broke at the time They even allowed our beloved pets to feel at home, there The kindness from the staff was unlike anything I have experienced anywhere else I don’t believe I can say enough positive things about this Best Western Thank you, for your exceptional service!

We had rode over 500 miles on our Harley’s and it was 9pm and this was our target for the evening 👍🏻 We were greeting at the front desk by a very nice young lady and check in was fast and easy We found the room very nice, clean and cool Coffee was available in the breakfast area and had a good hot shower and a great nights sleep

Breakfast was continental as there was an unforeseen circumstance with the hot breakfast but there was plenty of coffee and muffins, toast, cereal, fruit ……etc! Highly recommend this motel👍🏻 We stayed in a first floor room!

Johnathan Stewart

Today is our 1st day so we haven’t been able to experience much with the hotel However location is very good with lots of restaurants in the area Check in was easy and getting to the room was also

When we entered the room it was nice and cold Decent size for 3 people It has 2 double beds and the bathroom sink is in the room because the bathroom is only large enough for the toilet and shower Breakfast starts at 6am daily No gym but the pool area is nice It is located in the front by the entrance Try to get a room facing the front They have a better view of the pool and restaurants We got room 205

Mark George

I’m not sure why this establishment has such a high rating It’s fairly well maintained But it needs cleaned

When we checked in our first room we had to request another room The odor of mold and mildew was so overpowering that we would have had a hard time breathing in it The second room was better, but still had a peculiar odor Also, the bathroom and shower area is smallThe breakfast was poor Basically anything that could be watered down was This includes the coffee, juice, etc Multiple people had issues with the waffle iron And the condiments were old As an example, the honey had crystals in itHaving a mixed experience with so many things, I’m not sure I would return – considering this was one of the more expensive options in the area

Has that nice traditional hotel feel that I loveSo far in my life I’ve never had a bad experience with a Hilton HotelIf I’m in Birmingham again, I will come stay here again with no hesitation

A.D. Moulton

Stayed here for a weekend with my family in 2 separate double rooms Staff was friendly and accommodating Breakfast buffet was nice although about $17 per person, with the buffet you have people still serving you drinks (coffee and water) so I’m sure a large portion of that is the convenience fee

My room was clean, had a small issue in my bathroom the first night, hotel resolved within about 10 minutes Would recommend! Tons of really nice restaurants around as well

Bev Green

The hotel itself was clean Good water pressure in the shower The staff was friendly

Now I will explain the reason for the two stars The most important thing to me on an overnight stay in a hotel is a good night’s sleep The mattress on the bed was horrible! I was lucky to get 2 hours sleep if that I had springs poking me all night They really need to upgrade their mattresses

Jim Fineis

The staff was nice, but the facility itself shows an immense amount of wear and age Everything was clean and organized, but everything in my guest room needed to be replaced from the televisions to the doors which were warped and coming apart to the shower which had missing caulk The staff did the best they could with the well-worn facility

evelin pineda

Not the best stay As we walked in our room you could feel it musty A shelf on the bathroom wall was close to falling off

The juices in the morning for breakfast were watered down Coffee didn’t even taste like coffee Not a lot of selection for breakfast either and not enough Not well prepared and not well managedNot what we expect from Hampton Inn

We go into town a little early, but our room was ready at 1pm and very clean We were very appreciative to check in early in the middle of our soccer tournament day At the end of the day we enjoyed the pool for several hours and at dinner poolside

Had a wonderful stay there! We traveled from Chicago so my daughter could visit friends in the area Got there on Thursday night and the girl behind the desk was very nice Rooms were exceptionally clean

We stayed til Saturday morning and then traveled on to Louisiana for a wrestling show my husband was working On our way back from Louisiana we had to stop back to drop a friend off and we had no problems staying there again The guy behind the desk this time went above and beyond to accommodate us He saw I had knee brace on and offered me a wheelchair to get up to our room Rooms again were exceptionally clean Such a nice place to stay My family and I have decided that the next time we visit we will definitely stay there again

The hotel was ok and some the staff were nice However PLEASE pay attention the your credit card statement once you’ve checked out My card was charged FIVE times for ONE room

Once contacted the manager on duty apologized but was uninterested in explaining why or how this had happened He asked if I give five days and call back to see if the charges were gone Just horrible in my opinion I’m a Hilton Honors member and he offered nothing for the inconvenience that this has caused me

We were taken such good care of by the awesome staff! The only problem we had during our four day stay was the air conditioner could not be controlled The room was very very cold Breakfast was fantastic and varied each day

We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of the lobby where the met very friendly guest We were there for a wedding and would, definitely, stay there in the future This hotel is dog friendly and fun for kids! If Hamilton is in the lobby he will amaze you with his lego creations!

Francine Arnold

Clean and the hotel staff very helpful Good breakfastDifficult to get a restful sleep with trains with horns blowing in the middle of the night (in view of your room)! If we stay again we’ll ask for a room on the apposite side of the building

Wow! This place is amazing! Definitely home away from home We arrived early and Mr Kim let us check in early, which was so helpful! Pool was freshly cleaned and so nice

Room was large and spacious and spotless The location is tucked away on a hill, yet close to everything Staff was wonderful Such a clean, homey, amazing place to stay! Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone Thank you for making our stay wonderful!

Andrew Rolen

I didn’t, personally, stay at this hotel but my husband has been traveling for business a lot recently and he says this is the best hotel he’s stayed at The rooms are clean and the staff is always pleasant and helpful I made the mistake of booking the wrong Best Western last week and he stayed at the other one one night and then had me switch hotels to this one because he liked it so much the first time he stayed there

I have called in twice with booking questions and spoke with Jin (General manager) both times He is awesome! Whatever he’s getting paid, it is not enough He remembered me even though it had been at least a few weeks and we had only spoken once He has been very polite and very helpful every time that I have worked with him He always greets my husband by name and he says he is always great to deal with I have dealt with a lot of hotels recently (other Best Westerns and other hotel chains) and this location is above and beyond the competition and cheaper then many others out there If ever we need to come back to the area, this is where we will be staying

Where to start?…Dirty, outdated, mediocre breakfast, mild on tub and bathroom For the price of the room, I expected much more The shower is tiny and had mold in the caulking and mold on the shelving

Hole in my closet door The spring on the entry door to my room is not working properly so the door does not shut unless you pull it fully The door handle to the room entry door is wonky and you have to pull up and then down on the handle to enter the room The breakfast is mediocre at best Housekeeping has not come by to take dirty towels and replace in two days of stay One of the worst experiences I’ve had at a hotel recently and I would warn anyone coming to Birmingham not to stay here Take your money somewhere else!!

This was one of the best stays I’ve had at a hotel in a very long time! Clean rooms, good food, and best yet, the customer serviceTaylor works the front desk and she helped me with EVERYTHING I needed She was so personable and easy to talk to

Sometimes it’s not easy staying at an unfamiliar place away from home but with her amazing personality and care for others, she really helped me feel at home Taylor if you see this, thank you so much for everything! The pizza was amazing! 10/10 recommended

Let me start by that the staff was excellent If they hadn’t been so friendly and helpful, this review would be much worse Taylor especially was the best!The accommodations were decent, but lacking in cleanliness

This is specific to lots of hair that was found in the bathroom around the toilet and in the tub We had some issues with items in our room such as the air/heat unit, and the refrigerator The refrigerator didn’t work at all I didn’t want to switch rooms and I didn’t need to go through the hassle of it being replaced because we were constantly coming and going due to a tournament, but it was an inconvenience Our AC/heat unit only blew cold air no matter what temperature it was at Even if you turned it off, it would continue to blow cold air The first night I had to put towels over the vent so we wouldn’t freeze I had them check it and it was having issues “electronically” The maintenance man was able to manually shut it off so we didn’t use it the rest of the stay Thankfully we had extra blankets and it was warm enough in the room to keep me and my kids from freezing I think for the price it was a bit overrated I also want to state that since Covid many places have not been fully staffed so I tried to remember that during our stay and give some grace

Dee Marie

I had a great stay here for two nights The staff are superb and willing to help The room was clean and spacious

The area has some nice places to take a walk or hike if you have time plus there are plenty of restaurants, a nearby Trader Joe’s and Fresh Market I have stayed at this HP years ago and yes it could use an update but overall for the price it’s a great deal Breakfast is also good with excellent biscuits, juice, even green tea and chai options

Bathroom does not have a vent therefore there is mold all around the ceiling borders There is no tub The shower constantly drips and splashed onto the floor

The bathroom door doesn’t close properly There are zero USB ports anywhere in the room Paint jobs are super sloppy There was a pubic hair on the pull-up beds mattress cover Our room overall is very run down Nothing like Homewood Suites we’ve stayed in before Overall not very clean in my opinion Do not recommend

Justin Slaughter

Hotel in a quiet area just off I-65 Rooms were OK with a few minor issues A?C unit ticked at times, but not enough to disturb sleep

Some low level maintenance needed though as had broken lampshade and remote control battery cover taped on with a band-aid Breakfast was just OK as well Was expecting a larger hot breakfast and there were no waffle makers Pool was also closed just before our arrival for a month in peak summer season!

Lady Liberty

What a waste of the Hilton name Recently stayed here for a month (work) and staff cleaned the room once Had to BEG for fresh towels, which they tried not to give

They didn’t take the trash out, so I did myself, but they were out of liners every time I asked Also ran out of toilet paper, so I bought my own The housekeeper stole my TP the ONE time they cleaned I asked for housekeeping countless times and they never showed up Maybe I was better off since they are thieves Shower dripped constantly my entire stay Stains on the bed coversUpdate to the GM reply I did talk to the front desk staff many times They did nothing to help And don’t lie saying you followed your cleaning frequency policy, because you didn’t There was no do not disturb signon the door What a poor attempt to defend your thieving lazy staff

Let me start by saying this was my first time staying at a place like this! When I pulled up I thought it was an apartment complex not a “hotel” per say! But it was nice and perfect for a family trip The staff that we came in contact with our first night there for check in were AMAZING I can’t remember her name but she just started recently! She was bubbly and very sweet and made me excited to get a room there But the staff the next day not so much! Our shower was TERRIBLE! The shower head was broken all the way off and the water shot out with very high pressure and it was crooked!! It was pretty rough and when I brought it up at the desk I was told by the change of staff that all they could do was tell maintenance about it

That was the sour part of the trip! Besides that everything else was fine

Tiffany Manes

The room was not cleaned from the people before us Trash in the trash can, skid marks in the toilet, and beds not made up We showed up with 4 tired kids I made up the beds myself and just dealt with it for the night

Too tired to make a fuss, but I had to write a review to warn others Also the locks on the door were broken The deadbolt didn’t work and the top bar lock was broken off, so we slept with a chair under the doorknob and the couch pushed up against it We got the 2 bedroom suite for $100 The beds were very comfortable The front desk was very nice when we checked in There is no breakfast though so don’t count on that

Tokyo Blues Man

Booked a room for my boss that came from Japan on my credit card Then, when I checked him in, my boss presented his credit card and told the clerk to charge his credit card and not mineWell, what do you know! They charged his room on both of our credit cards – they double charged us!I called and requested them to reimburse/credit my card and the same clerk said “no problem”

A month later, it was never credited So, I called again and they gave me a run-around So, I had to call the head office And they gave me a run-around, too So, I had to deal with my credit card company, and by then, they told me it was too late to do anything about itI used to refer this hotel to all of the people visiting from Japan but NO MORE I will NOT use this hotel ever again!
