Always enjoy making a belgian waffle! We live in Italy and I love a good Southern breakfast.

There was a a very strong chemical odor in the lobby and hallways. Thank goodness it wasn’t in the room, or I wouldn’t have wanted to stay. The room was nice, the bed was decent, but the pillows were not for me. The breakfast offerings were adequate, and the coffee was great.

Ramada by Wyndham Tuscaloosa
Well the room had clean towels but the floor was never swept the whole time I was there unless I did it myself. Staff was nice. I had come back to my room later in the day to learned that my room was left open for hours after the cleaning staff had replaced the towels.
