Great Stay

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Stayed here for one night. Checking in was simple and hassle free. The room was great everything you would expect for a hotel of that caliber. The one down side is paying for parking. There is a parking lot across the street, which for me was cheaper to park in.

Anniversary overnight stay

Pros: Close restaurants
Location is excellent right in the heart of Birmingham. Room service for breakfast was assorted and delicious. We mentioned it was our anniversary and the hotel called to offer champagne and strawberries right away.
