Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Birmingham-Irondale(East) by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good location"

Hampton Inn & Suites Birmingham East Irondale

8/10 Good

"no complaints at all"

The Hearth & Thistle - King Bed/TownHome with Deck

10/10 Excellent

"Yes"

The Juke Joint: Game Room, Pet-Friendly BHM Home!

10/10 Excellent

"This home was perfect for our short stay in the area. Bedding was comfortable, the house was clean and the location was great. We are an Interstate Moving Company and we came in with a 30' cargo trailer. Parking was adequate and the home made our layover very relaxing. I highly recommend this home and will keep it on our list to revisit."

PET FRIENDLY!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean house, and very communicative host! Perfect for what we needed."

Hoadley Home- Family/Games/Driveway/Wifi/Crestline

10/10 Excellent

"We chose to stay at the Hoadley house since our daughter lives in the same neighborhood. The house was perfect! It was cozy, provided everything we needed for our stay and allowed us to enjoy walks with our daughter without having to drive over. We will definitely be back!"

Modern Stretch Home - 3BR/Bathtub/New Build/Grill

8/10 Good

"The property itself is beautiful, featuring a spacious layout, a large backyard, and an excellent location in a quiet, convenient neighborhood. While the management team was highly responsive once contacted, the initial preparation of the home fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, we were met with a severe odor from an unemptied, maggot-infested trash bin in the driveway, which took several days to be removed. Inside, we encountered notable cleanliness issues, including stained towels, two living room chairs that required sheets to sit on, and ants on the kitchen counters and utensils. Additionally, the living room TV remote was missing, preventing us from using the television for the first few days. For a week-long stay with five guests, the amenities provided were entirely insufficient, consisting of only three kitchen trash bags and two partial rolls of toilet paper. Although management eventually corrected these issues, these fundamental sanitation and maintenance checks should have been handled prior to our check-in."

Marvin`s Gardens: Fenced Yard, Game Room, Pets!

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this property for its location - with easy access to interstates, it was only a 15 minute drive whether we were going downtown, to Leeds or to Mountain Brook. Upon arrival, we found the property was very clean and the beds were super-comfortable."

Maple & Marigold – Modern Comfort + WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"Nice cozy place for a good price."
