I did not like the $25.00 per night parking fee. Also the 3 or 4 handicapp parking spots are taken up by, I believe hotel employees. No transport from hotel to UAB and no one to assist handicapped persons. If your handicapped and needed any of the above amenities stay at the Hilton across the road from the Residence Inn downtown at UAB. Also don’t expect a discount for UAB.

Stayed at the property for one week. The property was excellent with the exception of the laundry facilities. The washer and dryer were dated and had brown worn stains in the washer drum the trash had not been emptied, and it smelled the rooms were clean. The bedding was clean. The staff was great however they do charge for parking.
