Won't stay there again..

Employee at check in was not friendly at all, bordered rude. Pet friendly hotel and there was a barking dog 2 doors down a screaming crying toddler banging on the wall next door. Room smelled horrble like pet urine. Bed & pillows were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had a lot of choices but didnt taste good. Check out employee was just as unfriendly as check in person was.

One drippy night

The air conditioner had been left off in the room in August. Upon our arrival, it was extremely humid and very warm. The floors and walls had condensation on them, and even the sheets felt wet. It was like the carpet had just been cleaned and the room left closed up sopping wet.

First visit to AL. May be an AL thing but mold on the ceiling throughout the room and in shower/tub. Shelf in tub loose. Shower gel empty even though it holds like 100 showers worth. So when was it last checked? Pee on the lower toilet. Seat would stay up so guys had to use with it down. Not what I expect fron HI express.

The property was very outdated, and almost everything was broken. The ice machine wasn’t working, the bathroom shower was leaking and caused wet floors, and the AC didn’t cool the room properly. The room floor was stained and smelled like urine—smh. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the staff, especially the person who checked me in—they were kind and professional. However, I paid for a room with two beds, and at the last minute, they told me they had to switch me to a different room because the one I booked wasn’t available. Very disappointing overall.

I’ve stayed at many Hilton hotels and have come to expect a certain standard—but this location completely missed the mark. When I checked in, I noticed right away that it didn’t meet the usual Hilton quality, but I decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the door to my room, I was hit with a strong, overwhelming smell of mildew. While the room looked clean, the odor made it unbearable. I didn’t stay the night—I immediately checked out. This experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this location. It does not reflect the level of quality I’ve come to associate with the Hilton brand.

Out of the way stay in Birmingham

They put us in the incorrect room, king room instead of two queen bed rooms, didn’t know until I went into the room. Didn’t try to change the room because it was late and we fit. There was no TV remote or coffee maker in the room. In the bathroom only one mirror light worked. The floor/carpet felt damp. It was in a nice off path type of place, the people were nice but busy.

The property should have backup power for when the lights go out for hours. The Checkin process was very slow. I waited on others to be served. The sheet had a print of some type on it when I pulled back the covers. I stay here on occasions. It was the worst experience I had.

Please Don’t

Though the customer service was nice, the condition of the rooms were terrible. The carpet was dirty, the A/C made a whistling noise, and dirty water back up into the tub after taking a shower (see pic). When we inquired about vacuuming, one of the housekeeper stated they didn’t have a working vacuum and complained she had requested one several times without a response. Disappointed and won’t be staying here again. The halls had a weird, wet, musky smell.

Worst hotel stay ever!!!!

I typically don’t leave reviews, but this stay was beyond unacceptable. From the moment we checked in, it was clear the hotel does not prioritize cleanliness or guest experience. There were cobwebs throughout the room, crumbs left on the nightstand, and the floors looked like they hadn’t seen a vacuum in weeks. The pillows were stained, the bathroom was small and poorly maintained, and to top it off, the entire room had a bad odor. We had issues with room keys not working, which forced us to check in to two different rooms — both equally disappointing. The breakfast area wasn’t any better — flies everywhere, dirty eating sections, and the pancake machine was broken. The final straw was the power outage overnight. The hotel had no backup generators, leaving us without power, lights, or air for hours. Completely unacceptable, especially when paying for a safe and comfortable stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It was dirty, disorganized, and poorly managed. Spend your money elsewhere. Videos can be provided
