Clean, but aged.

Clean place, but definitely shows its age. Our room was fairly humid. The staff was courteous and friendly and it was a nice place to stay for the price.

Check in was excellent - Jen had a map ready with directions to my room and was friendly. The hotel does show some age but I have definitely seen worse - some carpets in the hallways could use a good cleaning or replacing. Breakfast was decent for hotel food.

Worst hotel experience ever. Phone not working-reported to front desk but nothing done in 2 days. Refrigerator made parodic loud grinding noises requiring getting out of bed 5 times during the night to slam the door to stop noise. Plagued all hours of the day and night with noise from the unit above. Would never stay there again

Ruined our wedding anniversary. The pool was totally closed for maintenance and was never told until arriving on July 4th. We had our six year old with us and she was heartbroken with the no pool. This caused us to spend an entire day searching for free swimming experiences for the family, which in turn meant we were unable to visit any historical sites and that is why we picked Birmingham, Alabama. I booked a handicap accessible room because my wife is unable to safely get in and out of the bath tub. The only thing accessible about the room was the ability to push a button to auto-open the door. Refused late checkout even with all the failures on the visit. This place was a nigtmare - DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Check in was very busy, only one clerk and multiple people checking in and asking questions and answering phones.. wait time after 10 hrs of travel to get checked in long. The girl at front desk was very pleasant and worked very hard to keep the flow going all by herself. Rooms were clean and roomy. We brought all our luggage up to rooms , went out for dinner came back and air conditioning not working in the one room.. my family with two small children had to argue to get a new room.. stated they were over booked and didn’t have a room at first.. after 30 plus minutes of deliberation they found them a room in another building.. had to move there car, luggage and children .. not pleasant after 10 hrs of travel. Rooms are musty smelly and dated… When checked out no receipt or compensation for inconvenience ? Breakfast fair had to ask for coffee etc.. only person that I would commend is the front desk woman at check in that was solo…

While we didn't get the room we booked, we had enough room for all to sleep. Bring towels because they were low during our stay and did not have enough for everyone to have one. Breakfast runs out fast! We had to eat out. Property is well maintained. Gym also out of order.
