10/10 Excellent
"Other than not having a small fitness center the motel was great! It was off the highway, relatively quiet, and very clean! Everyone was kind and cordial. The morning breakfast was nice, and the motel is close to everything around Athens Al. They were even kind enough to let us disconnect our trailer from our truck, so we could maneuver around the town safely. We will definitely stay again, when we are in the area!"
