The hotel was nice, but even if you pay for parking you may not get a parking spot due to a small parking area.

The room was nice, but it is so noisy from the street that I had 4 nights of interrupted sleep even with white noise on max volume. Breakfast was below average, but the room was great. Someone was smoking weed in their room the whole time I was there, so my room smelled like weed. Hotel seemed to be apologetic about it, but they obviously can't control it to some degree. So, it was a mixed bag. Because of noise alone, I probably won't stay here again. The staff was very friendly, however.

This is where I usually stay when traveling to Birmingham to visit my daughter at UAB. The hotel is clean, rooms are big, staff is friendly, and the breakfast is good. Parking lot feels unsafe due to the surrounding area.

Delayed checkin because sprior customer's purchase was not bar coded in computer software. waited 13 minutes to be greeted. Confirmed reservation w/Expedia was not in 'their computer. Finally was asked to resubmit CC for incidentals(not reqd with Expedia or ANY booking online). Their computer did not process. When submitted a second time...computer froze. Desk clerk projected their inefficiencies and frustration when talking to the manager because we were hoping that a savvy business decision would be to apologize and allow us to go to our room after a nine hour trip as we had been at front desk for 27 minutes from the time we entered the building and as seniors ...would not be trashing the room . But that did not happen. The room was fair at best B-/C with a broken remote, no, DoNotDisturb sign,no tissues, no paper towels but most importantly...the room smelled like a zoo! Carpet needs to be replaced not powdered and vacuumed. . Common sense, improvising and expediency are three ideas that come to mind. Very disappointed!
