Nice Stay

Enjoyed our stay but Birmingham needs some serious city planning for the streets. Very difficult to navigate. Hotel Highland was very nice. [...] is still working there and found her to be very nice. The entire staff was very friendly and the lady at the martini bar treated us to a free drink....something nice she came up with. Would visit this hotel again.

A nice restaurant called The Mill is about 30 paces south of the hotel main entrance and there's a chinese restaurant across the street and a few more within two blocks.

Boutique hotel

Nice boutique hotel. Rooms very clean and uniquely decorated. Very comfortable bed. Small lobby and bar make it very quaint. The neighborhood around the hotel is more comfortable if you are not traveling alone. I would not want to walk around unaccompanied or go to the adjacent parking garage after dark.
