Older hotel that needs upgrades. Sheets felt damp on the beds like they weren’t dried completely. Breakfast was decent. Pool area looked great.

The rooms were nice but our tub was a little dirty looking. Pulled up one day to our room and had random girl sitting right in front of our door for no reason. Overall it wasn’t a bad experience.

Not A 5 Star or Recommended
I checked into the hotel and went into the first room they gave me. I would not even let my children come inside. It smelled like wet dogs had rolled on the floor repeatedly. I asked for another room. I went into the second room and it smelled like wet dogs, but not as strong as the first. It is an older motel so I did not expect it to be a 5-star motel, however, I did expect it to be cleaner than it was. My sons baseball team was in Tuscaloosa for baseball State Playoffs and were staying at this motel so I didnt have much of a choice in remaining here. I would not recommend this place.

Wknd game day
Our stay was for the wknd and the hotel was a place to lay our heads for a good price. It was safe and the breakfast in the morning was a good free breakfast that you would have to pay $10 per person elsewhere… plan on staying there again for game day!

Alayha @ the front desk is amazing & needs a raise
Our stay was booked through hotels.com - which turned out to be a major mistake in this instance. We've used the service for years with no issues but this stay was a hassle. We prepaid our rooms and the virtual card hotels.com was supposed to pay our rooms with didn't work on one of the rooms. HOWEVER, Alayha, the front desk rep when we checked in at BW was amazing. She worked tirelessly on the phones for over an hour trying to help us get the situation settled. The room was extremely clean. The bathroom door was very hard to shut, the bed was hard, and there was a corner of the exterior door that was unsealed and quite large, but we didn't even care by the time we were able to get to bed. This is not normally a place we would stay, but the service more than made up for it. Also, the breakfast was definitely one of the better ones we've had at a motel. The lady working the counter took exception with the fact that I used a coffee cup to fill with water from the dispenser, not quite sure what that was about, but the food was still pretty good.

TV was really, really BAD!!!!!!!
What is the one thing you need in a hotel room? A TV. The TV reception was horrible. It skipped out and blurred the whole three days we were there. And with the attach by Iran on Israel, I wanted NEWS! FOX NEWS wasn't available.
