What makes me ANGRY is the fact parking doesn’t come with the room!! Seems like if they rent out their establishment they would make sure parking is part of the fee!! But guess what rich not enough for the rich man!! Then I had to turn around and pay 26.00 per night to park at the hotel I rented from!! Some people only have just enough!!

Very good stay just be sure about fees

The hotel staff and other guess was friendly . It was clean comfortable and quiet . Pool was clean and family friendly. The stove, microwave, refrigerator, the full size sink and the dishes were very accommodating! The only thing is I was not told there would be a $25 per night parking fee until after I was charged which made me feel misinformed other than that loved my stay here.

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.
