Top Birmingham Zoo Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites by Hilton Birmingham Downtown Near UAB

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. Kitchen area included a full sized refrigerator, a dishwasher, a stove, and a microwave. The king-size bed was comfortable. Breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausage and pulled pork, cubed potatoes cooked with peppers, cereals and milk, yogurt, coffee, muffins, breads, etc. We were not informed when we reserved the room that parking was $25 each day. The parking area is surrounded by a fence. Parking is accessed at a gate activated by a keypad keycode."

Hampton Inn Birmingham/Mountain Brook

4/10 Poor

"This hotel is currently undergoing a remodel. The lobby area is curtained off, and visible work is being done. Our room on the 4th floor had signs of remodeling, as well- tape on the wall and dust coating everything. Our room appeared clean, but after looking further, we found mismatched wallpaper and broken tiles, tiles that didn't meet the carpet, the area behind the toilet was filthy, etc. Amenities in the bathroom included face soap, lotion, shower gel, and conditioner. The third container in the shower was LOTION. No shampoo. The shower and sink hot water was abnormally hot. Sure, we need a hot shower, but not scalding. Outside our window, we could see two dumpsters overflowing with broken furniture and obvious garbage from the remodel. I could not recommend this hotel at this time."

Embassy Suites Hotel Birmingham

6/10 Okay

"Overall, our stay was pleasant, and most aspects of the accommodation met our expectations. However, there were a few issues that affected our experience. Upon entering the bathroom, there was an unpleasant odor coming from the shower area. Additionally, our room was located on the second floor, and the shower did not provide any cool or cold water—only very warm to hot water was available, which made showering uncomfortable. We also noticed that there were no extra linens provided in the room, which would have been helpful during our stay. Aside from these concerns, everything else was satisfactory. The property was otherwise comfortable, and we appreciated the overall experience."

Aloft by Marriott Birmingham Soho Square

6/10 Okay

"The Aloft Soho Square in Birmingham is a little tired. We have stayed there twice annually for four years (on our drive to and from Florida). We love the location but the hotel itself needs a facelift. On our last visit, we: could not get cold water in our bathroom, there was a leak beneath the sink on the floor, we were put in a handicap accessible room and we’re not handicapped, and the sliding door to the toilet took a weightlifter open and close it. Thankfully the staff was accommodating. It is also dog friendly which is a requirement for us."

Tri-City BrightHaus – Groups/WiFi/Spacious/Comfy

10/10 Excellent

"We rented all three apartments at this house with 1 (BrightHaus) the first night, 2 (BrightHaus and Traditions) the second night and all three (BrightHaus, Traditions, and Vintage Pop) the third and fourth nights. We stayed with a large group of friends. Kathleen was a great host, she was super responsive. The building is older. I think it used to be a two-story duplex that has now been made into three apartments. That leads to some funky walls as the place has been configured for modern conveniences like air conditioning. It also means that the doors are a little sticky when it is humid. The kitchens were very nice (they were missing a couple of odds and ends, but when I pointed them out to Kathleen to said she would address those issues), and we used them to cook meals for the whole group. BrightHaus has a lot of space for hanging out, but the dining table was small so we ate downstairs in Traditions, which had a bigger dining table. The location was perfect for us. I think the neighborhood now has a significant number of students, but we had no issues with noise; there was plenty of on-street parking and we felt completely safe walking around. The only real issue with this apartment was one of the beds, but once I pointed it out to Kathleen, she said that she would address it and based on her responses to other concerns, I expect that it will be replaced or repaired. Value-wise compared with staying in a hotel it was a great deal."
