We were in town for an Alabama football game so it was pretty busy at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we asked questions about getting to the game and where to find merchandise. They even gave us pom poms. Some of the best and friendliest staff I have ever encountered.

I have stayed at several TownePlace and espec have been impressed with room size and hot breakfast. I would say this particular one appears like the others from the outside but falls a bit short. The room was reasonably clean. Floor have goo on it. Windows were very dirty. Breakfast was okay. . What was surprising was how many employees spent so much time right outside the building smoking or just hanging out in the small lobby area by the elevator. We started to use the back entrance but two large rolling trash cans (clean, prob used for kau dry, not trash) were always on the sidewalk blocking the path to the backdoor (by the pool). We could move each timeand rather deal with clean trash cans than walking by smokers. I get that this might be a regional thing, that smoking is still very common in the South. But when employees (incldg the ahift mgr) is constantly seen out by the front entrance having to have another cigarette…it is just does do anything for the hotel’s “curb appeal.”

The room was handicap and shower had no curtain. The tile in bath was disgusting. I asked to switch room and the guy at the front desk was so unprofessional and passive aggressive. Almost to the point where I felt unsafe and considered leaving. He was more concerned reading his book than offering a solution. Complete psycho path and should never be allowed to represent the Marriott brand. I would never stay or recommend this place.
