The staff is nice, very polite. We found a crack pipe under the bed. The mattress’s had big stains, walls were all scuffed up with marks and overall it wasn’t very clean. I’ve been a cop for 9 years and I took the glass crack pipe to the front desk and showed her and all I got was “oh wow”. Having a crack pipe in a room with your two small children isn’t the safest environment or most welcoming. We could have got provided another room, discount on the room anything other than “oh wow”. I will not ever be staying here again or recommending it to anyone.

Overnight for a concert

The room was comfy and more spacious than most hotels for an overnight stay. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in during a hotel stay. Fairfield downtown Birmingham is so convenient to many downtown venues. If we should visit again, we will definitely stay here!

Nope

I was traveling from Georgia to Birmingham, unfortunately, there was a state of emergency issued in Georgia, and also a state of emergency issued in Alabama the two days I was traveling due to impending storms and tornadoes ( A storm that is so far has killed 36 people mind you) The hotel refused to refund my nonrefundable rate, even due to the state of emergency! Hotels.com was great. They directly called the hotel for me to see if they would waive the fee, the hotel manager said no. I spoke with Marriott Bonvoy directly. They said they could not believe they were not refunding me, but they were an individual franchise so there was not much they could do. The hotel manager. Brittany was supposed to call me back, but I have yet to hear from her.

When I first checked in the person helping me was either new or had absolutely zero idea how to check people in. She wanted to confirm payment for my reservation and I showed her my reservation booked through this site and she still ran my card for the full amount for a second time. After a lot of waiting and confusion, the manager took care of that pending charge. Upon checking out I was able to speak with the manager and she was extremely helpful. The location was not terrible, but the facility is a little rundown. The room seemed clean, but I really did not enjoy my stay and I checked out early.
