The finishes and fixtures in my room were pretty worn out. Lots of chips and scuffs, the flooring was peeling, and the bathroom shower was an unpleasant experience. Fixture finishes were chipped, orange stains in the shower pan, messy caulking, and rust forming around the ceiling above. The fitness center was well equipped but not stocked with towels and the sanitizing wipe dispenser was not functioning. Staff were nice and the made to order breakfast was pretty good, but when my flight home got cancelled later that day, I did not hesitate to stay elsewhere.

Def book the trip!

The room was lovely and spacious. Bed comfort was as-expected with great pillows and sheets. We added breakfast to our stay and were very well-pleased with the menu and talent of the cook. The only downside was she was the only one stationed in the restaurant: she took orders, cooked, and bussed tables. I felt bad for her! It was 30min before she could get to us, but that’s not her fault. The valet service was quick and pleasant. There’s plenty of quirk and fun in 5 Points South.

Birmingham 3 day weekend

Neat experience in the older building. Was awakened multiple times each night by the locals racing their engines down the street. Lots of places to walk to for eating. HVAC controlled by the front desk was a little different.

Friendly Staff, but needs Work

The stay was pleasant and the staff was helpful. Although, I think we came at a bad time. There was a shut down of their card system and they had to swipe our door open for us every time we left the room. As well, it was very hot in our room and the AC was not working, although they were able to accommodate us to a newer room. Overall, the trip was nice.

Decent place but aged

All was good but the facility is old and could be updated. Example: sink in our room didn’t work well, it took several pushes of the button to call an elevator.

Horrible night

Have stayed at this Hotel before and everything was great so when I needed to stay in the area again ofcourse I booked this hotel again. Check in went great fast service room was nice looked clean. Had to call front desk to have my air turned down they said they would handle it (never been somewhere where I wasn’t allowed to control my own thermostat but whatever) went to eat dinner came back room was still very warm asked them about it and they said they would bring me a fan? Someone brought me a fan and again asked what was going on and was told maintenance was looking into it Got time for bed and still no air so I went downstairs and requested a room change to one with working air and was told they couldn’t do that maintenance was working on it so I spent all night burning up and next morning at check out when I again complained I was told I wasn’t only customer to have an issue and that they where waiting to hear from manager on how to compensate for issue and I’m still waiting to see if I will ever get said compensation I highly doubt it Will not stay with them ever again

Location was great. There wasn’t a refrigerator or microwave as advertised in the room and staying for 4 days made it hard to keep food. I had to eat out way more than I anticipated. Otherwise everything else was great.

Nice place

The parking is confusing but other than that it’s a pretty hotel. The front desk runs the ac in your room so be advised, our room was really hot so we had to switch to another room.

Floors in room were falling apart, pillows on the floor, floorboards were loose and seeping water (maybe)? Shower wouldn’t turn off, toilet ran. Area did not seem safe. Was definitely not as nice as indigo hotels I’ve been to before. Staff was friendly, helpful, but facility was sub-par at best.

No hotel parking lot, as this is downtown. Valet parking is pricey, but I was able to find street parking, which is free from 6P to 8A.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! To be a rather higher scale side of town this should have been a much better property. Especially considering the price per night! I expected a lot more. Elevators don’t work half of the time, rooms are half way clean, broken furniture, water pressure is terrible! Wish I had not spent the money
