Can't say enough good things

I'm inclined to try and keep this place a secret so it's available still and at a reasonable price next time we are in Birmingham but this little gem deserves the good review. There was not much information online about this "hotel" but the photos and reviews I did find gave me enough confidence to book and boy was it worth it. This hotel is actually just seven (I believe) suites located on one floor of the historic John Hand building. We stayed in the Cobblestone suite which I felt had the best set up and was the only room with access to the shared balcony (shared from the common area) Upon arrival and checking in you'll be given key card access to the elevators to the 7th floor. The common area and hotel floor is stunning. Marble floors and high end lights and fixtures. There is a small kitchen area with snacks and coffee. There was a mini fridge where we kept our leftover pizza after dinner. The rooms were all booked for the evening but we only saw one other couple. There was no noise inside the hotel and very little road noise in the Cobblestone room. The other rooms might have more noise as they are on the main street. Guests of the hotel have access to the rooftop lounge and bar which made for a nice time before heading out to our Valentines dinner and concert. Parking was easy.

When we arrived around 10 pm there was only a security guard to give us our key. We had two large suites, but when we went on the elevator to our rooms there was only one large suite and a smaller room. Surprised, I went downstairs to get a key for our room that we had already paid for, a large suite. The security guard didn’t know anything, and there was no other staff.to their credit, the security personnel called the manager and inquired about our room. That was when we were told our original room had a water leak, and they had given us a smaller room instead. I understand the swapping of rooms, but not telling us in advance was not great concerning the price we paid for the full suite. I had to ask for a reduced rate, it was not offered. In my smaller suite, the bathroom faucets would spin when tried to turn them on. I had to hold the base in order to get them to turn on, and when I opened the hot water there was no actual hot water. For this price point the overall experience and maintenance of the rooms are definitely not up to par. We will stay elsewhere next time.
