Clean room, good grab and go breakfast. Had an issue checking in (room showed already checked in and someone was in it) but front desk was able to resolve it and get us to one after a short while.

Enjoyed our stay, bed was comfortable, place was quiet but it was a Sunday night. Breakfast options were decent, and plenty of dining options nearby, but not walkable due to busy road. A bit hard to enter and exit, need a sign by the driveway saying "AVID entry here>". Nice place, newly built 2023.

Nice hotel, very clean. The staff is very nice. The manager is top notch, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We love staying here when we come to visit our daughter who attends the University of Alabama.

Nice looking exterior, with a modern but simple interior. Enjoyed the comfortable bed, the 55 inch tv, and the great water pressure, in the shower. Looking forward to me next stay at this location.

We were traveling from we hours away and were arriving later than planned. I tried several times to call directly to the hotel to make them aware of this so they didn’t cancel our reservation. The phone just rang and rang and nobody ever picked up so I went through their site to message someone and never got a reply. We get to the hotel and give them our name and was asked if it was under another name (which it wasn’t) and the other person working said “oh, that’s the one we cancelled because you hadn’t checked in”. I told them I tried to call the number listed online several times to let them know we were arriving late. She said we have had several people say they call and it just rings but we pick up. So I’m not sure what the issue was. But thankfully they had our room still available. The hotel is termed a “ no-frills” hotel. They do not have a continental breakfast but they have what’s called grab and go. Breakfast sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, bagels etc

Limited entrance to the property depending on which way you coming from you always have to make a U-turn coming to it or leaving. Also, it’s not a good look for the staff member to be out in the parking lot drinking alcohol with their significant others.

This hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. There was a wonderful selection of breakfast items that were both quick and healthy.

Clealniless was a plus but I saw a few roaces in the room. Plus I was taken aback in that theirs no accessible microwave in the room. As for the continental breakfast nothing to brag about. In my opinion not work the extra money in that the rooms are paper thin. Outside road noise and the individuals above us were a bit unnerving.
5.0
Nothing bad about the property but it can be very confusing with the road you have to turn on to get there. So be mindful of the turn or you will turn on the ramp to the highway.

Great hotel; very comfortable & clean. Light breakfast (mostly continental) available. Shower is very nice. The price is great too, it’s a fairly new property, so hopefully they will keep it up. 5⭐️ Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was modern and clean. The staff were great too. I like that there is no carpet in the rooms that way there is no musty odor like other hotels. I like that there is Dove body wash, Dove shampoo and conditioner are provided on the wall in pumps for convenience. I was impressed by the Dove body lotion AND hand soap provided in pumps as well. I go to much more expensive hotels that never have pump hand wash! I dislike using bar soap to wash my hands but have no alternative unless I go to the store and buy some.
You have to be mindful of is the room is modern but the king size room a bit smaller than usual. There isn’t an actual closet, no safe, or sofa bed. But if you’re going for a quick stay like I did, I wasn’t worried about it.
Also, Breakfast is not a continental breakfast at all like you would get at another hotel Inn. It is literally grab and go. Don’t expect to make a waffle, get some eggs and bacon, etc. It is more like Individually wrapped Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits warmed up, Small individual cereal, boxes, yogurt, granola bars, small banana nut muffins, apples, and bananas. They did have omelettes that were made and individually wrapped, but my daughter said they were not good. I really hope that they would work on increasing the options and making it better for guests
At the end of the day, the fact that it was very clean, had good staff, was in a great location, and a safe area was enough for me to really enjoy my stay.

The Avid Hotel staff were among the BEST brand supporters we’ve encountered. Cordial and friendly from entry to exit.
Small caveat… the properties technology in the rooms was very challenging to connect AirPlay as the TV channels offer little in the way of movie entertainment.

I enjoyed my stay here! As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. There are other hotels nearby so it is not isolated, plus the doors have two locks. What really impressed me of this property was the newness of the entire facility. It was very clean and my room was spotless! King bed was super comfortable and I enjoyed all the toiletries provided. I also used the gym which had a lot to offer for a small facility!
My only feedback is entirely personal as I'm aware properties do not have control over this. I am very sensitive to sound and this property faces an interstate highway, which isn't super noisy anyways but every once in a while you'll hear loud mufflers and such. Additionally, I could hear every footstep from above me. Should I stay here again, I would request the top floor if possible to avoid this. This is not unique to me, as a friend of me stayed here as well and shared she could hear her upstairs and nextdoor neighbors. I slept with ear plugs on which solved the issue, but just be aware! I'm also light sensitive, but the blackout curtains on the windows were PHENOMENAL! My room was pitch black and I was facing all the highway and street lights! It was even a little too good, I imagine without an alarm I could've overslept! Lastly, the close proximity to UA was unmatched. I traveled for a conference and was on campus within 10 minutes. Super convenient location, awesome prices, and such a cute new property!
