Until this weekend, I had never been to Demopolis before. I booked a room here on the advise of a…read morecousin who lives in the area. Being a road warrior who spends a lot of time in Marriott, Hilton, and InterContinental properties, I was a little apprehensive about what I might find in a Best Western in a small Alabama town. I had nothing to worry about... this was a great place... on par with some Holiday Inn's and Hampton Inn's I've stayed in. The front desk staff was very friendly and always willing to help (with directions, questions, etc). Every interaction was with a smile on their face. When I checked in, I met Miss Nettie, who also cooks the breakfast. While she was processing my credit card, she told me all about the breakfast, which includes cereal, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, sausage, eggs, muffins, coffee and juice. She also cooks omelets (and she makes your pancakes and waffles to order, the rest of the stuff is laid-out buffet style). During the week, they also advertise "breakfast in bed", where they will bring your choice of two fixed meals (a cold breakfast or a hot breakfast) to your room. Miss Nettie got us checked in to a very nice spacious king suite, complete with a refrigerator and freezer built into a little wet bar area. There was a good sized writing desk that two people could work at and a pull out sofa. The king size bed was comfortable and the bathroom was arranged so that the sink area is separate from the tub/shower and toilet. The room came with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and a "freshly cleaned remote" wrapped in it's own little bag was laid on the bed each day. The room looked and smelled nice and clean. Housekeeping did a great job each day making sure our room looked great and that we had plenty of towels. The property also has a nice pool and two computer "business center" areas. One downstairs in the lobby, and the other is upstairs on the opposite end of the building. While I didn't need to use them (I brought my own laptop and used the free Wifi), it was nice to know that they were available. While I was checking out, Miss Nettie was leaving for the day after cooking the breakfast and she stopped to shake my hand and say good-bye to me and another guest who was also checking out. She wished us safe travels and asked us to come back soon. It's this level of southern hospitality combined with their nicely outfitted, clean rooms that will bring me back the next time I'm in Demopolis... whenever that might be.
