I loved It!
Days Inn Moulton, Alabama

I can't even describe it to you. It was a amazing experience. I actually went because of a wedding, but the motel was very nice. The staff was very understanding for my family's needs and they did everything to help us. I keep bothering them about little things and every response from them was so sweet. My kids were able to play freely. The town was really quit and everything was just great. We were even put on the same side as my other family members without any request made about this and it was just great because we were able to knock on each others doors without bothering other guest that stayed that night. I could keep going, but that is that.
