We stayed for the weekend and mostly had a great experience. We took the Don not disturb sign down when we left in the morning, and our room was not cleaned and we had to get fresh towels ourselves in the evening. The front desk staff on the weekend seemed stressed. Everyone was very nice though.

They told me they were out of cream for coffee. Also rooftop bar, you stand in single line to order drinks. No wait staff. They were out of tonic water. They charged $200 for our service dog. The hotel is too expensive for what you get. Rooms are very small.

Room pillows on sofa were disgustingly nasty. The sheets were cheap and kept coming off of the bed. Bathrooms were clean and room was clean, but windiws tint was peeling so the view was not good. Coffee pot was really dirty, I have to clean and sanatize. Quite disappointed fir a $300+ night hotel room in Birmingham, Al. The food in the restaurants was great. Breakfast in the main restaurant was fabulous. Staff were very nice. I was not impressed, the Fairmount Marriott would have been a better choice with an exec suite if I only knew how small and the condition. Old was expected upscalesd rooms were expected.
