Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The suites are very large and roomy! Beds were comfy and room was very clean. Front desk associates were always very friendly. Parking can be an issue. Street parking (if you're lucky), parking garage (across the street $20 per day) or valet ($36.00 per night + tips). We chose the valet option. Seemed the most convenient. Valets were always very friendly as always gave personal suggestions on restaurants and directions. If you choose valet, plan to pay your tips by cash and do not choose to pay them on the app. The valets said they do not get the money. Overall, I would recommend this Hotel.

The staff is nice, very polite. We found a crack pipe under the bed. The mattress’s had big stains, walls were all scuffed up with marks and overall it wasn’t very clean. I’ve been a cop for 9 years and I took the glass crack pipe to the front desk and showed her and all I got was “oh wow”. Having a crack pipe in a room with your two small children isn’t the safest environment or most welcoming. We could have got provided another room, discount on the room anything other than “oh wow”. I will not ever be staying here again or recommending it to anyone.

Overnight for a concert

The room was comfy and more spacious than most hotels for an overnight stay. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in during a hotel stay. Fairfield downtown Birmingham is so convenient to many downtown venues. If we should visit again, we will definitely stay here!
