Not a great experience

I guess I was put in a discount room because I requested to be on a low floor and the front desk lady said no. She had a really bad attitude as well. The room seem to face a place called 3000 bar and the noise coming from that area was loud. Also, the room had a loud buzzing sound in it. I think it was the AC unit. Oh, yeah, you can’t control the temperature in your unit. You’ll have to call the front desk to get them to adjust your temperature.

We had a flawless check in process, great valet and housekeeping services, but the breakfast that was included wasn’t the best experience. We waited at a table for a long time only to finally be greeted by a grumpy lady (I can’t blame her too much for being grumpy since she was the only one working the restaurant). The food was fine, but, as a result of this experience, we chose to forfeit our included breakfast the next day and just go to a different restaurant. The other issue we had was the noise outside our window that went on until the early morning hours keeping us from sleeping.

Hotel Indigo Great for Writers!

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Indigo and have reservations there for a writers' group I'm bringing to town at the end of September. My absolute favorite part of the room was the shower which was a piece of heaven with the perfectly hot water and the lovely products plus it was sparkling clean. The location is also perfect for my group so close to good restaurants with something for everyone. The day I arrived, unfortunately the elevator was down for a while, but it was repaired shortly after. The bar is adorable and I can't wait to write there with my group! Great staff also. Helpful and friendly.

Okay visit

Staff was very friendly and very prompt to address issues. However, the bathroom door is a rolling door that has a 2 inch gap on each side so everyone in the room can hear you in bathroom. Our bathroom door was extremely hard to push open. The kids couldn’t open or shut it. The elevator worked once on our trip. And overall the hotel was very old and needed updates . There were people directly outside approaching everyone they saw although that’s not a hotel problem maybe something could be done

The finishes and fixtures in my room were pretty worn out. Lots of chips and scuffs, the flooring was peeling, and the bathroom shower was an unpleasant experience. Fixture finishes were chipped, orange stains in the shower pan, messy caulking, and rust forming around the ceiling above. The fitness center was well equipped but not stocked with towels and the sanitizing wipe dispenser was not functioning. Staff were nice and the made to order breakfast was pretty good, but when my flight home got cancelled later that day, I did not hesitate to stay elsewhere.

Def book the trip!

The room was lovely and spacious. Bed comfort was as-expected with great pillows and sheets. We added breakfast to our stay and were very well-pleased with the menu and talent of the cook. The only downside was she was the only one stationed in the restaurant: she took orders, cooked, and bussed tables. I felt bad for her! It was 30min before she could get to us, but that’s not her fault. The valet service was quick and pleasant. There’s plenty of quirk and fun in 5 Points South.

Birmingham 3 day weekend

Neat experience in the older building. Was awakened multiple times each night by the locals racing their engines down the street. Lots of places to walk to for eating. HVAC controlled by the front desk was a little different.
