I reserved a 2 queen bed room, ended up with a 1 queen size and a sofa bed with a super skinny mattress. Very uncomfortable stay. I should have had some kind of a discount

I am extremely disappointed with my recent stay at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Birmingham-Irondale. We paid nearly $400 for the weekend, and the room was unacceptable. There was visible dust, dead bugs, hair on the floor, rust and stains in the shower, and an overall unclean appearance. After messaging the hotel to request proper cleaning and fresh towels, I received no response. When I called, the employee, Deidra Patel, was defensive and hung up on me. When I went to the front desk, she avoided speaking with me and left the property. I was told no manager was available. I was also incorrectly notified that housekeeping had cleaned the room when it had not. Even after housekeeping came, the room still had visible stains. To make matters worse, there was a strong sewage smell in the hallway and our room on the last night. For the price paid, I expected a clean room and professional service. Instead, this stay was frustrating from start to finish. I hope management takes this seriously so future guests do not experience the same issues.

GM Hello, I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable conditions we experienced during our recent stay. When we first checked into our room, visibly dirty and did not appear to have been properly cleaned. In addition, the air conditioner was extremely loud, and the refrigerator made constant noise throughout the night, making it very difficult to sleep. We reported these issues and were moved to a different room; however, the second room was in even worse condition than the first. the floor was wet from a. Broken A/C. In addition, the toilet was filthy ( photo attached). At that point, we felt we had no reasonable option but to leave the property entirely and move to another hotel. This situation was very frustrating and disruptive to our trip. We paid for a clean, comfortable room on and did not receive that. I am requesting a full refund for our stay and would appreciate a prompt response regarding how this will be resolved. Sincerely, Keichella Johnson Room 303/221 Stay Dates: February 27, 2026
