Residence Inn by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at UAB

4/10 Poor

"The bed in the suite felt like sleeping on concrete. The hotel could use some updating to the carpet, the walls looked poorly refinished. I chose the Renaissance Inn due to experiences with previous stays where the beds make you want to go back to sleep and just stay in room. I definitely won’t be booking this one on my next visit."

Embassy Suites Hotel Birmingham

6/10 Okay

"The room itself was great and spacious. Bed was comfortable and shower had good water pressure. All the trash cans were overflowing throughout the hotel. There was a nice coffee and hot cocoa bar in the general dining. The most inconvenient was having to pay for parking in the parking lot by scanning a QR code and filling out a form. When you finally arrive somewhere after a long trip, the one thing you are trying to do is get to your bed. The last thing you want to do is be sitting in your car in the dark waiting for a form to load. A ticketed gate system would be much preferred if I have to pay for parking. Or just add it to my hotel tab."

The Painted Lady

8/10 Good

"Our room appearance was nice and as pictured. The location was good, and it was easy to check in and use the facility, and the parking was easily accessible and free. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only drawback was that the staff seemed to be nowhere on site. We had a problem with the bathroom door not closing and we were told they were sorry for the inconvenience, but no effort to remedy the situation was taken. The checkout time was very early at 10:00 and extension to 11:00 was only given with a $30 fee so we declined and left by 9:30. There were no drinking glasses in the room, so you needed to grab those from the coffee area in the main hallway if needed. I would stay there again if there was better communication with staff to accommodate needs. It appears they are expanding, so maybe more amenities and a more full time staff will be coming in the future. Definitely a good price and a cute vibe. We just unfortunately encountered a small problem that was not rectified to our satisfaction."
