Our group was the very first conference the hotel hosted. We had about 60 people who arrived just two days before the official grand opening, and while the team was still putting on the finishing touches, they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, and the property itself was beautifully prepared for our event.
The conference space is well-designed and comfortable, the food was good quality, and the overall service was top-notch. I especially loved how the hotel’s design pays tribute to the Gee’s Bend Quilters — such a thoughtful and powerful connection to local culture and history. We were even fortunate enough to have several of the Quilters join our conference and share their remarkable stories.
My guest room had everything I needed — the bed was very comfortable, the multiple showerheads were a nice luxury, and the plush robe was an extra touch of comfort. From my sixth-floor room, I had a great view of downtown Montgomery, which happened to be light up green while we were in town, in honor of Veterans.
Although I didn’t visit the EJI sites during this trip, I truly appreciate how this hotel honors. I also value the hotel’s commitment to community — I loved seeing staff name tags that highlight the neighborhoods they come from, and I know this kind of investment has a real economic impact locally.
My colleagues and I travel to Montgomery on occasion for work related to protecting the history of the Black Belt. This will absolutely be our go-to hotel from now on. We’ll be recommending it to others as well. Congratulations to the team — keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see the next phases come to life.
