Wonderful

Staff was amazing and very kind. But the property otherwise was not exceptional. Breakfast was lacking (no waffles, no pancakes, only sausage for meats?) accessibility is an issue- why is the soap locked up to the wall? It’s too far for wheelchair users to reach from across the bathroom sink. Most hotels have free soaps- it makes this hotel look cheap along with being hard for any wheelchair users or short people/children to reach. No microwave in the rooms or in the breakfast area. There are better hotels in fort payne for cheaper that do have these accommodations- and pools that are open year round. Heck, for around the same price you could rent a cabin with a full kitchen.
Nice room to stay in, very clean from the lobby to the room. Staff was super nice. Coffee 24 hr in the lobby and a small space for items to purchase.
It is a minimalist type of hotel, so you have to change your mindset, but I love it. Perfect for short stay.
This is a pretty nice hotel. It is overall very clean and modern. Our shower could have used a better cleaning. Other than that we had a very comfortable stay. The included breakfast is great. Coffee (good coffee!) is available 24 hours. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. Far by one of the nicest stays on our vacation so far.
Showed up at 1:00 AM and was told they had done their "audit" and i was considered a no show. Took 30 minutes to finally get checked in once my reservation was "reinstated". Otherwise the hotel was great.
The breakfast was done very very well. 24 hour coffee. But that was the end of it. The room was spartan, small, no closet. Just ok if all you want to do is sleep and eat and leave.

Great experience!! The hotel was very clean and the staff were all so friendly!! Would definitely stay here again!!
This is a traveler’s gem. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was great and the fresh fruit was fresh. Staff were very nice and friendly! It is near the interstate which is also convenient. I asked for a quiet room as I am a very light sleeper. It was not as quiet as I would have preferred. Traffic was noisy at times and the dumpster pickup at 4 am was aggrevating. Otherwise will stay at more.
Extremely clean, new build, breakfast had gluten & diary free options for me (very rare). Bed was comfy & room had a tiny fridge, shower was big, and toiletries were good quality. We would stay here again. Especially, for the price!
Great place and friendly staff, very smart new built hotel since 2024. Near Front desk great coffee bar with still , sparkling and hot water.
Great and delicious breakfast, bagels, muffins, scramble eggs, oatmeal, fruits, yogurt, and juice machine.
Room was clean and comfortable, great view of the forest.
