Great stay! Hotel was clean (even through renovations). Loved airport shuttle service, which was hard to find for downtown Birmingham properties. We arrived at 11, with a check in time at 4. They offered to hold our bags since we had to be at an event at 2. As we were about to leave, our room was ready. Had dinner at the restaurant downstairs. Flatbread and sweet potato fries was $20 (very reasonably priced) and tasted great! Only complaint was road noise, cars revving engines as they drove by. Would recommend to anyone needing an overnight stay in Downtown Birmingham.

Bad experience

Check in was fine. When we got to our room it smelled like someone just smoked weed in our room and the ac was off so it was 80 deg in the room. Went to take a shower and the main shower head and pipe were leaking and flooding the shower as the drain wasn’t working. Went to go have dinner down stairs and the bar staff was pretty rude to only find out they didn’t start serving dinner u til after 5. We found this out as we were trying to order since we were given menus and had already ordered two drinks. The 3 peloton were all broken in some way. Tried using the one that had all of the parts and the screen would actually boot- but still had issues with the equipment. The bathrooms down on the LL were trashed in the morning with the cans overflowing and the toilets were pretty gross. The only high point of this stay was the guy running the shuttle was extremely helpful. Homeless like to hang out around this area so just be careful traveling or walking locally.

Such a great place when visiting UAB clinics!

I stay here when I have visits to UAB. It is quick walk to all clinics, and their shuttle driver was so pleasant and knowledgeable.He has been there a long time and can tell you everything you need to know when navigating all of the different clinics.

The hotel is old, with renovations ongoing, so the smell of paint in the hallway was strong. Some of our party had trouble with doors not closing and keys not working, but overall it was "ok". Not a good value for the price however.
