2/10 Terrible

Our stay at HomeTowne Studios on Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama, was extremely disappointing. This was a terrible choice for our trip, and I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.
We arrived very late at night, and as soon as we walked into our room, we immediately noticed cockroaches. We killed several and contacted the front desk. We were ready to leave, but because it was so late and we could not find another hotel in the area, we had little choice but to stay. The front desk staff assured us that the room would be thoroughly cleaned and fumigated to address the roach problem.
We left early the next morning to attend the Barber Motorsports festival and returned late that evening, expecting the problem to have been taken care of. Unfortunately, the situation was just as bad. The room was still filthy, and the cockroach problem had not been resolved to our satisfaction.
To make matters worse, the elevators were not working, the security bolt was broken and I could not find an acceptable ice machine. The overall condition of the property was unacceptable, especially for guests paying for a place to relax and sleep after a long day.
After giving the hotel an opportunity to address the problem and finding that the situation had not improved, I decided to check out and leave.
A hotel room should be clean, safe, and reasonably maintained. Guests should not have to deal with cockroaches, filthy accommodations, and nonfunctioning facilities.
