I made the decision to stay another week thanks to Chalis! The customer service here is unmatched. Security even helped me carry my groceries in, which I truly appreciated. Housekeeping had my room smelling fresh and looking amazing. This level of care and professionalism is why this is the best hotel in Decatur!

I absolutely love this hotel. What the owner Edward has done to this property is truly transformational. My stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the front desk team and every staff member I encountered were warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing exceptional service. The property itself was outstanding, and the overall atmosphere made my visit both comfortable and memorable. I truly enjoyed every aspect of my experience, and without hesitation, I will choose 1st Place again whenever I return to the area. Not to mention, the 24/7 security is an added bonus.

So I have to say my stay was phenomenal. I checked in and was greeted by customer service and they were awesome although they were in the middle of changing shifts. There’s a lady by the name of Monica I believe she is the best. My room was clean and smelled great. I have no complaints and will definitely come back.
