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!!

Nice hotel with nice staff. But our bathroom was not clean and one of the bath towels looked like it had been used to clean a car (black streaks and smudges all over it).

All is great except parking but not really their fault because of the area. Paid parking available but you have to be lucky to find free parking

Terrible hotel, do not stay here

The hotel was very dirty. The staff were not friendly and everyone seemed like they had better things to do. There is not parking. There is not breakfast, even though I paid extra for these things when booking. The "bar" did not have wine or tonic water. The valet was in-your-face, but would only park you car... you have to get it in the morning.

The stay was ok. I had an unruly neighbor but once i reported it to the front desk, it was addressed immediately. I really appreciated it! The hotel has a-lot of wear and tear that should be addressed.

DONT STAY HERE

This was the worst experience of my life. I got stuck in the elevator on like the 4th day and when I arrived the elevator was down but they assured us it was fixed. They charged me an extra $537 and the manager was very rude when questioned about it and could not explain it. The desk clerks were rude with the exception of one and because i was livid about getting stuck in the elevator and the other things leading up to that point a desk clerk asked me to leave but would not let me go up to my room to collect my belongings so the police were called and they treated me like a common criminal. There were others patrons saying the same things I was and they all said this was nothing like other Hotel Indigo’s they had stayed in.
