First time staying at this location but not my first stay at an Avid Hotel. Both Avid hotels I have stayed at have been wonderful and above expectations. Very clean, extremely friendly staff, and a good selection of breakfast options. The room very spacious and I really enjoy what feels like an upscale bathroom with the glass walk in shower. Avid will continue to be among my first choices when I am looking to travel somewhere.

This is our second time staying here. The location is great for visiting with friends and family in the Fort Payne and Sand Mountain areas. The hotel has a nice modern look to it, the staff is usually friendly, and the 24-hour coffee machines are really convenient. On the downside, the thermostats in the room do not have a “continuous fan” option. They have two options: cool and heat. If you set it on the coldest setting, it will shut off once it reached temperature. This leaves the room awfully quiet until it heats up enough to kick on again. The mattresses are a little firm as well.
Overall, this is a nice place to stay. We hate the quiet rooms, but they’re not a deal breaker.
