Won’t be back.

There was a hold in the floor of the room we were in but after traveling all day we did not feel like moving to another room but did inform front desk which was nice. Our 1 year old is still crawling and her feet, knees and palms were pure black after crawling around on the floor. The beds were very uncomfortable and creaky. We try a new hotel everytime we come to Birmingham but we will not be giving this one another go. In good news the service was good. The lady at valet was very sweet.

This property is located in the heart of Birmingham. The property itself is very nice but the surrounding area let’s not seem safe especially at night. The employees are very nice and they have a great breakfast downstairs.

My husband was having some tests done at UAB so we decided to go the night before and stay here… this hotel did NOT disappoint! The bed and pillows were amazing.. the only thing I wish it had was a refrigerator in the room but other than that and having the front desk control the room temperature.. I would DEFINITELY stay again!!

Nice hotel with nice staff. But our bathroom was not clean and one of the bath towels looked like it had been used to clean a car (black streaks and smudges all over it).

Terrible hotel, do not stay here

The hotel was very dirty. The staff were not friendly and everyone seemed like they had better things to do. There is not parking. There is not breakfast, even though I paid extra for these things when booking. The "bar" did not have wine or tonic water. The valet was in-your-face, but would only park you car... you have to get it in the morning.

The stay was ok. I had an unruly neighbor but once i reported it to the front desk, it was addressed immediately. I really appreciated it! The hotel has a-lot of wear and tear that should be addressed.
