Rime Garden Inn and Suites

The hotel staff at registration desk were not polite and almost to the point of being Rude. The room was nice,and clean. They offered a complementary breakfast, and advertised that the dinning area was open at 6:30. I went there at 7:00 am and it was not open the woman behind the desk told me it would be open soon!! I had a 8:30 flight and had to leave.. NOT VERY IMPRESSED

The room was better then was anticipated. When you look at pictures on line; you really don't know what to expect. We were more then impressed by the room. Larger then we thought it would be.

I enjoyed my stay at the Rime garden inn except the fact that the heating unit didn,t warm up my room too good.I was cold during my entire stay. i enyoyed the complimentary breakfast but the sorry heating system ruined my stay.

At one time this Hotel was a 3 star Hotel but it would do good to get a 1 star rating. The microwave had greese in it and I would not touch the tub the garbage can had something all over it as did the fridge and don't try to cook you only have the cheapest paper plates they sale and only 4 of those and 3 packets of silverware I assume you are to travel with pots and pans in you car because they did not provide them. The sheets and blankets had huge stains on them. Very BAD not what it should have been.

Hi Speed internet was confusing to hook up. (as I finally discovered the modem was not plugged into the electrical supply and the front desk attendent offered no help at all). Buffet breakfast was served in a big meeting room with no ambiance and the dish with Grits was empty. I cup of coffee served but no offer for a refill. Only 1 attendent who was obviously overworked.

When I last stayed there it was a memory that generated a desire for a return trip. Now it is the same as it was 7 yrs ago, no updates or changes. No kitchen ammenities, or bath ammenities.

Hey, this place welcomes pets! We thought that was great. But the price to be paid was an unrelenting cat urine stench that permeated the entire main building, especially the lobby. We arrived after dinner on a 95-degree day, and our room was sweltering. Took about an hour to cool it down. The carpet and the furnishings were at least 15 to 20 years old, and had really taken a serious beating. The kitchen was pretty much nonfunctional, and the countertops were chipped, cracked, falling apart. Don't know how long it had been since that bedspread had been laundered... Ugh.

I only slept at the hotel arriving at night and leaving in the morning. The suites were in buildings and mine was a little hard to find late at night. It was kind of seedy, not dirty but didn't look perfectly clean either. Maybe just a little run down. And kind of noisy from neighboring rooms. But the buffet breakfast was cooked beautifully and served graciously.

We were in town for the motorcycle at Barber Motorsports Park. The hotel was perfectly placed between the airport and the park. We couldn't ask for friendlier service. The hotel is a little dated, but well kept. The issues I saw was that the pool was closed, the floors above our room squeaked terribly, and the kitchenette was only partially usable. There were no dishes and the dishwasher was bolted closed. It didn't really affect our experience and overall is was a great deal.

The Rime Garden Inn was OK. More like an apartment complex than a traditional hotel. The room was very large with two televisions. It was an older well used facility. Not very close to downtown. I would opt for some of the other options in Birmingham in the future. I doubt very seriously that I would stay here again.
