Birmingham 3 day weekend
Neat experience in the older building. Was awakened multiple times each night by the locals racing their engines down the street. Lots of places to walk to for eating. HVAC controlled by the front desk was a little different.

Nice place
The parking is confusing but other than that it’s a pretty hotel. The front desk runs the ac in your room so be advised, our room was really hot so we had to switch to another room.

Friendly Staff, but needs Work
The stay was pleasant and the staff was helpful. Although, I think we came at a bad time. There was a shut down of their card system and they had to swipe our door open for us every time we left the room. As well, it was very hot in our room and the AC was not working, although they were able to accommodate us to a newer room. Overall, the trip was nice.

Decent place but aged
All was good but the facility is old and could be updated. Example: sink in our room didn’t work well, it took several pushes of the button to call an elevator.

We came just for an overnight. While we were grateful for a place to rest and to have our pups, the building could use a facelift and a good scrubbing. Parking was nearby which was good.

nice hotel
The hotel is located downtown so it’s pretty convenient to things. The parking situation is not great. Check in went smoothly. I think it’s weird that the A/C in each room is controlled by the front desk, so you have to call them if you want it changed. But, everything was clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable.

Nice stay at indigo
The air in room 407 wasnt working too good. But the lady at the front desk moved us to a suite on the 7th floor. Other than that the stay was very nice. The bed was comfortable!

The staff was amazing! However, the room and common areas were not clean. Also, it is a noisy area due to the night life and not a place you want to walk at night or alone. There were homeless people living in the parking garage.

This property is located in the heart of Birmingham. The property itself is very nice but the surrounding area let’s not seem safe especially at night. The employees are very nice and they have a great breakfast downstairs.

My husband was having some tests done at UAB so we decided to go the night before and stay here… this hotel did NOT disappoint! The bed and pillows were amazing.. the only thing I wish it had was a refrigerator in the room but other than that and having the front desk control the room temperature.. I would DEFINITELY stay again!!

It was a nice area and a nice hotel on the surface. A few things that weren’t good though:
- AC is not controlled in the room. It got super hot at night and we had to call reception in the middle of the night to adjust it.
- no drinking water available, only ice.
- Elevator controls were broken on 6th floor so we couldn’t call the elevator.
- It was super loud at night due to motor bikes revving outside even at 2am.
Restaurants in the area were great.
