This is a very nice Residence Inn. The rooms are large and appear to be recently built or renovated. The location is near the UAB Hospital, so not great. But it is not far to several B'Ham tourist spots - 5 Points South, The Vulcan, City Zoo, etc. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We had an unusual situation... More

Spent one night on our way to the Smokies. We reserved two rooms. One suite was huge, with a full kitchen and small living room. The other suite was smaller but still comfortable. Breakfast was reasonable and parking was only $10. If I was ever in Birmingham again we would definitely consider this location,

Like all RI, this hotel is clean, roomy and comfortable. The breakfast was especially good. But I was appalled by the rudeness of the staff. When I checked in, the young lady was inconvenienced by a customer that interrupted her conversation with a friend. There were no 'hellos.' The checkout was no less impersonal. In fact, after waiting for someone... More

We stayed just one night while visiting friends in Birmingham.  We used our Marriott points and opted for a suite on the 7th floor.  The hotels location is in the Five Points South  area.  Just three blocks away from all the funky bars and eclectic restaurants, so the location is excellent.  The suite and the entire hotel was in excellent...

This hotel provides suites only with full size kitchen and living area with fireplace,sofa bed and work station. Breakfast is free and the hotel is pet friendly. It is close to all shopping malls in Birmingham,Alabama. It is the best relaxing stay we spend on weekends. They offer a cheaper rate on weekends. I give this hotel 5 stars for... More

Needed a hotel for one night and found this one downtown close to where my wife's class reunion was being held. She loved the room, it was large and clean. Being downtown we could hear some noise, but it was not bad at all. The bed was very comfortable. This is a deal breaker with me since I have a... More

We used Priceline and we're awarded this hotel, however after staying here, we would select this hotel directly on our own for future visits to Birmingham. The hotel is only a couple of years old and still looks brand new. Our corner 1-bedroom room was large and clean, but did not have a fireplace. I'm not sure which rooms come... More

I've been having great luck with hotels and I think it's because I read the TripAdvisor reports. Hotel location: The hotel was downtown and about 2.5 miles from the Convention Center and the start line of the Mercedes Marathon. Cleanliness: The hotel lobby was clean, the exercise room was clean, carpet was NOT stained ... like some hotels with high... More

The close proximity to the UAB medical center makes this an ideal location. The room was spotlessly clean. The kitchen has everything you could possible need for cooking plus a dishwasher. Although right on a main busy street the room was quite at night. The breakfast buffet offered in the mornings is the best I have seen in years-real canadian... More
