I've stayed there many times before and everything was fine. This time there was construction noise before 7am. I'm sure that many things will be new or improved, so in the future it will be back to a really good place to stay.

Comfortable Rest Stop in Birmingham

The Tourway is conveniently located near the Amtrak station & the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Check-in was simple, & my room, though showing some signs of aging, was comfortable. In sum, the Tourway is a good value for a solo traveler who wants a simple, convenient rest stop on a longer journey.

The owners have clearly spent money on renovating the rooms, nice new comfortable mattress and new furniture and fittings. I can’t fault the cleanliness of the place and the staff were nice. Sadly however, this was a rest stop on a long drive. The whole purpose was to sleep. This didn’t happen. The whole night long people were revving loud car engines in the parking lot. Loud music, screaming and shouting, smoking drugs and drinking. This appears to be a boy racers hang out. Police arrived twice in the early hours and then the noise continued. I think I managed about 3 hours sleep the whole night. The motel is just off the Interstate so that also adds to the noise. The place is clean and the staff are nice, but the noise here is on a whole new level of disturbing which really spoiled my stay. Bring earplugs!!!

Was doubtful when I saw the neighborhood, but the facility was clean, quiet and SAFE. And a good deal for the price - less that 10 minutes from the convention center, as well.

If your picky…

Over all the stay was good. I’m not a picky person with hotels/motels/inns. The are was easy to get too. Check in was quick and easy. Host was nice. However, Lots of dead bugs under the beds and in some drawers, didn’t see any live ones which was good.

Felt very unsafe, particularly with all the random men wondering around the carpark, not guests, who also are there when you check in through the window- would have preferred to be able to go into reception. Filthy walls, dirty fridge, location isn’t near anything. Bed was comfy enough

This is a very good (clean and comfortable) motel and the parking is probably the most secure in town. . . . I had a car full of stuff and, based on reviewers comments, none of the major hotels' parking inspires confidence. At Tourway the parking lot is well lit and has a fence that doesn't completely enclose but is enough to prevent people from casually walking through. And you can park right in front of the window of your room. And it's a good motel -- I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Hotel was very clean, customer service was great, and check in and out was quick and easy. Was nice having microwave and fridge in the room. Area felt safe, and parking lot was well lit. I was in town for a concert at the Legacy Arena, and it was a quick uber ride there and back. Would have been easily walkable also. Hotel is a little dated, and could use some freshining up. But was perfect for an overnight stay for the concert.

The room was pleasant, but there were stains on the pillowcase and an unexplainable large wet spot on the carpet. The property was quiet, and I felt safe during the stay. My biggest complaint is the bed has the hardest, most unforgiving mattress I have ever encountered. If you plan on staying here, start practicing two days before your arrival by sleeping on your kitchen table.
