Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

8/10 Good

"Good hotel, convenient to hospital"

Elyton Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott

8/10 Good

"Best shower ever!!!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood

8/10 Good

"The family suite was really nice. The breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed sitting out under the gazebo near the pool. I would have liked to have been able to access my Netflix but it wasn't available. The elevator near our room wasn't working but it wasn't too far to take a different elevator. Everyone was friendly and overall I enjoyed my stay."

Residence Inn by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at UAB

10/10 Excellent

"This is literally the nicest hotel I have stayed in in all of Alabama. Staff was SO nice on the phone and accommodated us with no issue for early check-in, when we did check in everyone was genuinely so nice. The suite was so much nicer than it looks in pics (and it looks great in pics) me and my friend could not stop saying how amazing this property was. 10/10 5⭐️ WILL BE BACK!!! Thank you to all staff btw you all are so awesome :-)"

Railroad Park Reset, Clean, Modern Space

8/10 Good

"This review is a tale of two cities. First, I could not have been happier with the accommodations. I was very pleased and truly hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. The only thing that would resemble a complaint about the room is it looks as if the sheets may not have been changed from the previous guest. My evidence for this is when I pull down the comforter, the sheets looked as if the bed was made up by a 12-year-old who was in a hurry and didn’t want to make up the bed to begin with. This was not an issue. There was a washing machine in the room, so I washed the sheets and moved on - no big deal. Again, I loved the room. Now, here comes the major complaint. After booking I received several messages stating that I had not paid and another message or two stating if I don’t sign the agreement the room will be canceled. Despite having ample cell service, I could not open the hyperlink for the agreement. The messages saying I had not paid still chaps my ass just thinking about it. I called my credit card company and asked if any charges had been denied. The the answer was no. I contacted the host and got a message that I’m all paid and everything is good. By this time I was pissed. I reserved the room somewhere around the lunch hour by and by 5:30 that evening I had not gotten all of the paperwork in order so that I could check in. Incompetence at its finest. I have never had this trouble at Marriott."
