We’ve stayed at multiple hotels through the summer travel ball season and this was by far the best. From the time we walked in the door, we felt welcome. Every staff member we met was very friendly and had a great attitude. People make the place. 

The hotel is in the process of being renovated so some things are unavailable (pool, breakfast area, laundry).  The construction wasn’t visible because we were there on the weekend but there was no mess of any kind. The rooms, common areas and parking lot were very clean.  The manager was super helpful when we found out that the laundry was under construction as we were getting ready to wash ball uniforms. 

Breakfast was brown bag (juice, granola bar, fruit and pastry/muffin) but better quality than some of the other hotels we’ve visited this summer.  Coffee was made fresh and kept full every morning. 

We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay

The staff was very welcoming and courteous. The atrium is a step back in time, filled with plants which lend a garden atmosphere even in winter. Our room had been redone recently, and everything was clean and orderly. We couldn’t ask for more given what we paid. A pleasant surprise was the strong pot of coffee and the croissants in the lobby for breakfast. The group of people managing the hotel were truly a joy. Thank you!

Excellent stay!

Well I made the trip to Alabama to visit my daughter. I decided I wanted a room so I booked this property. I must say although, I stay at Choice properties always this location was different from my last year trip. I can honestly say from the time I walked into the lobby I was amazed! I’m a pretty “picky” hotel gal not saying things have to be expensive but I look for cleanliness, outdoor traffic, the staff and then going into the room I look for the bedding and accommodations to be well kept. This property was very clean, quiet, and reasonably priced, the suite was completely remodeled. The General manager Dina was so nice, she made my stay. I travel to Alabama twice a year on my return trip in August I will return here. I have pictures but please excuse my things I took these after I took out all of my junk. Enjoy your stay it’s a great place to visit.

Pleasantly Surprised!

For the price I was willing to risk it for the Baymont. Pictures showing in Priceline are misleading.

Would I stay here again? Certainly for the price. But would check WiFi strength and AC blowing on bed.

They have obviously recently purchased this property and doing remodeling as budget permits. The signboard outside has a banner wrapped around it with the Baymont sign covering the previous sign.  Aspects of the remodeling and prior maintenance work look very amateurish.  

Did not check for a pool.

Pros:
Quiet
Bed was Comfortable
Clean
Open Lobby Concept is nice
Located near a lot of restaurants of various cuisines & shopping.
Our water got hot quickly.
Did have fridge, microwave and working TV, desk, two seat sofa.
Friendly Helpful Staff

Cons
AC was blowing directly across the bed from one side. Had to duct tape a towel across it to redirect air.

WiFI was spotty and fluctuated in strength thru out the day. Base station was at the office so no distributed access points to maintain coverage on all floors. 

If you have a 5G phone you could work off that fine - strength was midrange power wise but let me work without issue.

Shower Doors were "tight" had to be careful as I did not want to break them by forcing too fast.

Shower drain backed up within 30 seconds. Resorted to wetting down, shaping up and rinsing off. Fortunately shower basin had two inch walled basin.

Bed headboard had a "backlight with a bright green illuminated led pushbutton switch right above the pillows. Light itself was so bright I covered it with duct tape.

Exercise room was not available due to remodeling. Resorted to body weight workout in room.

Work on patching up plaster was amateurish.  Likewise shower floor tile had 3/4 inch gaps near the walls.

Desk chair was very squeaky and not adjustable for height. Hard to work at the desk on my laptop.

2 seater sofa was OK would not want to sit on it for long.

Room was a stark white color with no decoration, offset colors to break the monotony

Inexpensive, Clean quiet and comfy Bed. Read my Details.

First off, the location of the hotel is extremely convenient to the interstate. And any talk about it being in a "bad neighborhood" is ridiculous. There are close to one million dollar homes right down the street on the same road. 

Initial impressions upon arriving at the hotel was the unkempt nature of the trees, bushes and grass. Upon entering the facility, you're struck by the indoor atrium which is actually really nice. The atrium is let down by the expanse of artificial turf that doubles for commercial carpeting. However, I wasn't going to be sleeping in the lobby so the room is going to be key to this review.

The lobby decor leaves a lot to be desired but the lady at the front desk was friendly and polite. I wish she'd given me the Wi-Fi password upon first going up to the room but she provided it when I went back down to inquire about it. I also had to go back down to get a 
duvet for the bed and plastic liners for the ice bucket. 

The room itself was quite large and somewhat tastefully decorated with new furniture that I would not have in my own personal home but was adequate for all intents and purposes. The bathroom however is another matter altogether. The bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. It had a brand new sink with beautiful white quartz countertops. And the mirror on the wall was perfectly lit. There is no tub but the shower was relatively clean and modern, like most of the decor in the room. However, the bathroom shower was clogged and left two inches of standing water in the shower pan while you bathed. The bed itself was fine for the evening and probably be good for another couple nights.  

The hotel also required a deposit of $100 by cash or credit card before I was given a key. We knew about the deposit before we arrived from reading reviews of this particular hotel before booking it. But the deposit is still a point of contention for me and was never disclosed when we made the reservation through Priceline's phone agent. And the agent and I actually had a conversation about ethics, if you can imagine, due to some confusion about scheduling. The quality and quantity of the breakfast they offered is unknown to me because I did not partake of it. And  we did get the full deposit returned at the end of our stay.

TL;DR? The hotel is well past its prime and in serious need of a full gut renovation. Barring that, it possibly needs to be razed and a new hotel put in its place. And, very recently, the hotel hosts a full church service on Sundays which is when we checked out.

Great Expectations?

My wife and I stayed here last night, upon entering, the room looks nice and spacious, however, rather spartan furnishings, It struck me rather odd, that there are two TV's in the bed area. One hanging on the wall and one sitting on the chest or whatever you call it. I didn't try either one.
The shower control is quite unusual, seemed to put out mostly hot water, never got it to put out cool water plus, the water was real slow to drain, leaving you standing in a pool of water. Also the shower doors were not attached to anything on the bottom, maybe by design?
The toilet seat appears to have pee stains on the bottom.
They used an extension cord to power the TV and refrigerator, don't believe that would pass NEC requirements!
The molding around the floor appears to have much water stains.
The internet was very slow, sometimes unable to provide streaming without lots of buffering.
The HVAC unit did not cycle the heat on and off at a set temperature, rather it just continued to heat
making the room get quite warm before I shut it off. 
On the positive side, the bed was comfortable as was the chair at the desk and other than the pee stains on the toilet seat, the room seemed clean. Also, the lobby is nicely decorated with real live large plants.
Although it appeared to have been recently remodeled, the workmanship was of a poor quality, even the light switches did not all match the color of the cover plates.

cheap remodel

You get what you pay for so, at $75 all-in, I’m not comparing this place to the Waldorf. However, our experience wasn’t the best. The staff were nice and professional but the property and procedures to flip a room after someone checks out could use improvement. 

We are out-of-towners just passing through, but as a heads-up, the area necessitates that the staff lock the front door for security after a certain time. Four cars blocked the valet drop-off as parking overnight, and I wanted to too so our car would be well-lit all night. 

We were given keys to room 209. We walked in and none of the light switches worked. The A/C was flashing “BR” and wouldn’t turn on at all. There was a flat sheet with just a duvet over it; no top sheet to cover the duvet (that we know rarely gets washed at any hotel). The bathroom mirror was so covered in smudges you couldn’t see your reflection - not just a Windex residue. There was no mini-fridge.

With no A/C we knew we wouldn’t sleep so we had to be “those” people. The front desk attendant was kind enough to swap our room to 307. The A/C worked in that room as did the lights and there was a mini-fridge. This one didn’t have a duvet at all - just two flat sheets so we were hesitant to turn the A/C up and freeze. The shower didn’t drain properly so we stood in 1-2 inches of water while showering. The ice machine was out of order, the pool has seen better days, and I read there was grab and go breakfast but there definitely wasn’t. 

If I managed the property, I would carry out an inventory on basic items and electrical functionality in each room, at minimum. If I give them grace, maybe the guests have just used and abused what used to be a decent hotel. 

There has to be a better budget option in Montgomery! 

This was a horrible experience. My family and I reserved a king bed with a pull out couch. When we got here we were put in a king room with a couch. There were no blankets on the bed and the bathroom looked like something out of a scary movie 

The manager moved us to a room with two Queen beds. This room looked a little better EXCEPT the bathroom floor is full of water and the shower has no shower head on it and it is on all night. We cannot get it off and it’s putting water on the floor. 
 I wasn’t able to get pics of the first room but here is the floor and shower in the second room

Never again.

Horrible experience

I had recently stayed here and due to the price and negative reviews my expectations were already lowered but I just needed a night's stay. But I am very upset with management. Upon checking out I see my card was charged for an unexpected fee, what for? I still do not know. I have been blowing up the hotel's phone over the last week and only got an answer once saying the manager/owner will reach out to me, which he still hasn't, and now the number is going straight to voicemail. Hopefully, I can dispute this charge with my bank but I am very unhappy about the ring around. I've stayed before and it is a beautiful LOOKING hotel but very bare minimum in service and amenities.

Very Very Poor

Ok now, looking at the pictures online you would think that this place looks nice. So,  after a long day of moving our son into his dorm for college, we were tired! When we drove up, it was very dark and looked a bit desolate. We were buzzed in once we  got there after 10:30pm. The manager on site at the time was JaQuan, and he was really nice. He gave us one room, but decided to change it because there were children on that floor and like to run around all night. So, he then gave us a room on the 3rd floor, and when we got in the room, the floor was slippery due to the humidity in the room and from all of the rain that came through the day before. I checked out the room and it looked nice on the surface, but thank God I ordered a UV wand and took it with me...low and behold, the things we saw when that light came on was unfathomable!!! The comforter was white to the eye, but had so many dark spots that looked like mold, the towels too...then I discovered mold on the baseboards by the bed and then on the wall in the bathroom. The manager could not believe his eyes and immediately gave me back my deposit, reduced the rate and gave me a clean comforter and towels. He also and up and cleaned the mold up with bleach around the baseboard. We slept in our clothes, hats and masks...the only reason we stayed was because it was late and JaQuan made it a little better for us. I cannot believe Choice Hotels are allowing this type of uncleanliness take place...my husband thought I was crazy, but now he understands my reasoning behind what I do. I would not recommend this location.
