Heading from Nashville to Gulf Shores. ;)…read more We stopped here on our way to get gas. We landed after the terminal office was closed. The hours are 7am to 7pm. But no worries because they have self service gas and access inside using the Unicom code which all pilots know. Inside there is an after hours restrooms with a shower. A lounge area with snack and drink machines.

Ok, I might be using a term that was somewhat explained to me. This is not a class C type airport…read more For us non-flyers, that simply means, it's got less restrictions and way easier to fly into and out of. The people working there are super nice, and very helpful. With that said, I've only been there once, however a great impression was left and I did my first "Over the Mountain" flight with them.

WORST HOTEL EVER! NASTY blankets and sheets! It literally looked like they just made the bed back…read moreup after MULTIPLE people used them. cigarette burns, stains, and even crusty spots on them. one of my pillows looked like it had black scuff marks on it from someone's shoe. Someone left a cigarette butt on the headboard after they put multiple cigarettes out on it already. The room smelled so bad like they should really be ashamed and embarrassed! The shower had very very low water pressure partly due part of the shower head was clogged with paint. There was moldy ice cream left in the refrigerator. It looked like no one has swept the floor In weeks/months. When I went to make my complain't at the front desk window, she told me there wasn't anything she could do but asked to take pictures of the pictures I took to shower her house keeper, but then tried to make it out like I was lying because of the time it said I took my picture on my phone?? Totally rude and made me uncomfortable knowing that she was trying to turn it around on me to make me out to be a liar! I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT recommend The Jackson's Trace motel in Sylacauga Al! Not to mention the locks on multiple rooms didn't even lock according to another lady, who had a toddler, who paid for a room as well! She literally went to her bathroom for a split second and her toddler ran out to the parking lot because their door didnt have a lock on it! It's most DEFINITELY over priced to stay there no doubt! so here I am out of $75 because the folks running the motel obviously doesn't know how to run the motel. Im not posting this out of spite or hate because of how I was treated. Im posting this because this is a true event i had to experience and deal with and I hope nobody else has to experience that awful nasty stay. They also tell you that you cannot have any company there either, which yes, i can understand to an extent on some levels, but they literally watch your room from their cameras to see if anyone has any company coming by or not. if they were worried about THEIR JOB and CLEANING duties rather than who you have coming to your room then they might not have as many bad reviews or complaints. Only good thing I can say is their pet fee is only $5, but the $5 pet fee has got to be in cash...? Anyway, I didn't want to post such a negative review but I felt like I had to speak on it. My worst hotel experience yet. 02/04/2026

First room 27 was very clean no bed bugs only seeen 3 small roaches in a week that I had the room. But that could of been from somebody bringing them there. They always gave me clean towels and tissues they took my trash out a lot of me which was a huge help for me so I didn't have to keep walking out side with 4 small kids in the cold everything in the room worked good The water was hot to take a bathe and shower. Ice machine workeds. The lady and the guy that work there are very polite and respectful would rent a room again

Decent enough rest area in a somewhat remote area that offers a nice respite from the road…read more I was traveling from Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Montgomery, Alabama and this was a great rest area to stop in and stretch my legs. There is an abundance of parking and the rest area is well-maintained. I would definitely recommend here.

Ants and other bugs. Water damage on ceiling. Then at 2am the guests above decide to shower and it starts dripping down into our shower. Used a towel to catch the water and mute the sound. Still kept us awake. Reported it in morning and they didn't care. Said we should have switched rooms at 2 in the morning. Then found out car wouldn't be fixed until 4pm. Asked if I could stay that long in room. Sure, as long as I paid for another night. No compassion to our situation. Also, tried to use an electronic coupon and they refused saying they only accept paper coupons. Hello it's 2015! Why advertise electronically if you won't accept.

The room was small, especially with a dog, fairly quiet except for the neighbors plumbing. The table for 2 was useful. $15 pet fee. The outlet for the hairdryer and coffee machine was broken. Room 104. A new light bulb was needed for the florescent in the bathroom. Security seems to be an issue with signage concerning trespassing everywhere on the property. The peach place was across the street and Mac's was an easy walk so food was nearby.

Wow! This place is so great, where do I begin?!…read more My husband and I stayed here for our two-year anniversary. The house was just beautiful. Our room had a balcony. We sat out there for a little while. It was wonderful! She brought out wine and cheese for us. I had some cheese and my husband had some wine. Although I didn't drink the wine, the cheese was good! She kept a mini fridge upstairs stocked with water and soft drinks. That was great! We LOVED our room! We stayed in the Smitherman room. The bed was big and comfy. The TV was nice, too. There wasn't a DVD player, so we brought our portable one and watched it in bed. Breakfast was great! She even gave me a coke when I asked for one. It was very kind! We'll be going back for sure!
