very nice room w/ kitchenette - great value

The Sun Suites was very comfortable. It was roomy even with the kitchenette. The bed was more comfortable than most. It satisfied our needs during our stay.

Mini Residence Inn experience

The Kitchenette area was nice with 2-burner stove, a small table with 2 chairs, a microwave, a coffee maker w/ comp coffee and a small full size refrigerator. Some missing items included paper towels and dishwashing liquid. Otherwise, the kitchenette was tidy, efficient with 2 sets of dishes and dishtowels. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable. The location was easy to find. Pretty good for 2 stars. I would stay there again, but would like a slightly lower price.

A surprise for the money

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in February. The staff is excellent and very friendly, ready to help with whatever you need. The room was very clean and comfortable. It was cold out that day and they had preheated the room for us. Being from south Florida, anything under 70 is cold to us and it was a very nice surprise to find a warm and inviting room when we arrived. We will be staying at this hotel everytime we come to Birmingham. We will be recommending this hotel to our friends.

Great value

The Sun Suites of Birmingham was a great value. The room was very comfortable and clean. Although my trip was short, this would be a great hotel for an extended stay. The room had a kitchen with table and chairs. The hotel was easy to find, just a few blocks from the interstate.

family friendly

great for longer stays due to kitchen and availability of shopping centers close by. You could cook your own food and they were very friendly and staff willing to assist.

Unbeatable location for the price

The hotel staff was wonderful; especially [...]. I would really like to take this opportunity to say that you only meet or interact with someone with her personality once in a lifetime and I want to tell her Thank you so much.
