Sleepy?
"Rest Easy Y'all"
We take “Southern comfort” seriously.
Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway, bustling on a business trip, or just stopping through, you’ll find welcoming places for R&R: Relaxation & Refueling right off the interstate. No need to worry about feeling far from home — hotels that you know and love are ready to treat you with true Southern hospitality.
After a day of exploring downtown, enjoying local restaurants, or taking in the wide-open Alabama skies, there’s nothing better than kicking back and soaking in the slower pace of the South. You might catch live music drifting across the Square or gather around a campfire swapping stories under the stars. Wherever you make your bed, you’ll enjoy a front-row seat to one of our famous sweet tea sunsets.
