Rooms were very nice. But the rooms were really hot. We tried to adjust the temperature in the room to cool it off, but the air would not come on. There was another room in our party, and the occupants of that room had the same issue. Also, the person at the registration desk during the day was very rude. Sat looking at her phone and seemed very agitated to have to check us in. The person at the desk when we got back to room late at night was very nice.

We came just for an overnight. While we were grateful for a place to rest and to have our pups, the building could use a facelift and a good scrubbing. Parking was nearby which was good.

This place does not look like it's advertised at all except for the lobby and bar. The bathroom was FILTHY. The floors were sticky and slippery! There was hair all over the shower wall and on the floor of the shower. No fridge?????? The elevator is like a scene from American horror story. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable i hardly slept. They put me right hy the elevator you could hear everyone come off and go on it. When i checked in i sat there for a good 5 minutes waiting for someone to appear. The vallet lady sweet as pie best customer service youll find give her a raise and promotion! The girl working night shift royallllll b! I went outside to smoke around 11. My key card wouldn't light up the green light to get in. I had to get her to open the door. When she opened the door and let my son in she said the key in your hand is to open the door. I said oh i'm sorry it wasn't working. She threw her hands in the air rolled her eyes and walked away. Good thing my son was there because she needs a lesson in customer service skills and honestly that job isn't for someone like her with such a negative attitude! Who rolls their eyes and is rude to a paying customer for having to get up and walk 5 feet to a door and open it? If you're a crackhead or a dopehead you'll think this place is a 5 star hotel. This is nothing but an overpriced motel!

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.

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!!
