This was the cutest hotel. It was the only affordable hotel during my stay for the Chris Brown concert. I slept so well in my room. The parking was convenient and the staff gave detailed instructions on how to check in. They kept in contact throughout the day and were very helpful after I expressed concerns about a late check in. I was able to check in around midnight with no issues. There is a flight of stairs to take (they make you aware immediately after booking). The room was so beautiful and the walk in shower was very easy to enter. I will be staying here again soon in the near future!

Nice, interesting spot to stay in Birmingham.

Quirky little place to stay. Roomy room, comfy bed, cozy linens. Communal fridge and coffee/tea area was unique. Quiet at night. Just right!

Everything to like, a brand new place with a well thought out conversion of an interesting building into a true boutique hotel, rooms are a really nice (as in large) size, more than agree with all the other comments on the ultra comfy beds/sheets, no street noise and easy parking outside, just a few blocks to 2 fave restaurants in one direction and more central places in the other, wish them well and will be staying here next visit to B'ham for sure.

We had an amazing stay at The Painted lady. Jing was very communicative and helped with a number of recommendations. We were only staying as a brief getaway and found out Birmingham’s good scene is pretty awesome. I’d stay at this clean, artsy, quirky, cool hotel a million times more!

It was OK

Nice Room and furnishings. It lacked in comfort and amenities. My husband was trying to get closer to me at night in the bed and every time he tried he would fall into a dip in the bed. Needless to say he never got close. The TV was too small for the distance it was from the bed, but most of all there was not a coffee maker in sight. For the price of the stay, I expected more.

We enjoyed our visit at the painted Lady. We had to climb three flights of stairs. There did not appear to be an elevator. That was not a problem for us, but I could see how it would be a problem for other people. The bed and pillows were very comfortable

Beautiful!

Fun place to stay! Very nicely refurbished old building. Very sweet staff, they were eager to answer questions. Our room was very comfortable! The only drawback is that there is no elevator. Be prepared for stairs!
