I failed to mention motel accomodations in Jasper, just in case 
anyone needs them...  There are 6 motels that I can think of right 
off the top of my head, and all of them are within 5 minutes of 
campus.  There's the Super 8 - it's the 4 story portion of the old 
Holiday Inn - It's at the west end of town on AL118.  205-221-3050
Right next to the Super 8 is the Budget Inn???  I can't remember the 
name for sure... I don't get to that end of town often.. It's the 
original two story portion of the old Holiday Inn...  I can't find 
the number, and the news reported a few days ago that the owner had 
been arrested for selling drugs.  The pros of these first two are: 
Price, they're close to the only theater in town (walking distance) 
and within walking distance of an Omelette Shoppe, and Victoria's 
restaurant is in the Budget Inn and is a pretty good cafeteria style 
place with a meat and veggie steam line.  Cons - well, cons ;) and 
they're old places.

Just down the road, a little closer to campus is the Days Inn 205-221-
7800, and the Holiday Inn Express 205-302-6400.  These are both 
pretty new and nice.  There are restaurants right across the parking 
lot (Taco Bell, Brew Brothers, Brangus Steaks, Rally's)

A little closer still is the Travel Rite Inn...  Never seen the 
inside, so I can't tell you too much.  It's right by Jasper Mall 
(Belk, JC Penney, Garfield's Restaurant) and the King Buffet 
Chinese.  205-221-1161.

Closest to Campus is the Jameson Inn.  205-387-7710.  It's a little 
isolated, but you could walk to Zaxby's without crossing any streets. 

There are a couple of small places about 10 miles either side of 
town, ask if you're interested.  For any of you who may be coming 
from LA, (Lower Alabama for those of you from outside our great state)
If you wanted to stay in Birmingham, Jasper is about an hour from the 
Downtown area, (45 minutes on a good day) so it's feasible to do that 
if you'd like.

If I've forgotten anything, feel free to ask.
