I really had higher hopes of this place from the photos online, when we booked through experian it made it seem like the charge had already happened, because the receipt literally said paid..... Upon arrival we were double charged(after being under the the thought it had come out when booked) we has about 400 set aside to be abke to enjoy our weekend in Birmingham, we ended up having zero funds to do anything (including anybfood for the stay) we checked out this morning. The double charge has still not been refunded. Really really upset and disappointed

Never going back

The main problem with this property was cleanliness. The floors in the elevators and hallways were sticky and in need of mopping. One of the elevators was out of order. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. The trash cans on my floor were full. The top was stopped up and wouldn’t drain properly. The sink and toilet were not clean. The toilet had hair and dirt on the base and the frame around the mirror had surface dirt along with the tub. I will not book at this hotel again.
