The hotel is perfectly OK. It's really close to a grocery store, and about 15 mins walk to downtown Hunstville. It's also right at the intersection to drive into Algonquin Park. Convenience factor is high.
The room was fine. It is modestly updated, though entirely appropriate for a Comfort Inn. The bed was firmer than I'd like, and for some reason the hotel has supplied a bunch of small pillows instead of larger ones meant for a king size bed.
My main issue with the room was the toilet. It's a "flapperless" variety, which has a rotating bucket inside the tank. When you flush, it's the water in the rotating bucket that triggers the flush. It's a water conserving toilet pure and simple, and frustratingly so. The toilet takes an exceptionally long time to fill - so when you have two people that want to leave, but use the bathroom first, the second person is waiting for that bucket to fill before a flush will work. This was taking about 30 minutes in our room. I eventually used the in-room ice bucket to fill it faster. It was also set to fill about half way, leading to a very weak flush - one that would fail to remove toilet paper and urine, let alone #2. I used the ice bucket to fill it to the fill line on the bucket and the flush worked fine.
There are better choices for managing water use in a hotel. Making the toilet unusable is definitely one of them, and the reason I won't return.
