"Good experience overall. The hotel was quiet and clean, but the layout was odd. The complimentary breakfast was nothing to brag about.2018-05-01"
"The hotel exterior was OK, but the interior was not.The TV area in our room was dusty, and there were flying bugs on the furniture. The coffee table had a thick coat of dust. The bedding and linens were clean, and the bathroom was clean and well-stocked.2018-04-24"
"OK room for the price. The cable TV wasn't good at all, but the AC was great. The fridge wasn't cold. Bring kitchen supplies. The toilet and sink both stopped up. Easy check-in. Staff was nice and friendly, and the front desk clerks were very helpful. I felt safe at this hotel and would stay again.2015-04-14"

"The room was well-equipped for extended stays, though our non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke. The motel clerk was friendly, helpful, and professional. We didn't have a remote control for the TV, and he promptly brought us one. We couldn't get the shower to operate properly; water came out of the faucet, shower, and hand-held shower at the same time. Not enough parking.2019-05-04"

"The small, square pillows were uncomfortable. Disappointed that I had to pay for breakfast at this hotel.2015-04-18"
"The entrance and the dining area were nice, but as soon as I got in the elevator, it was like a different hotel. The hallways had trash in them; the carpet was stained and needed vacuuming. The room carpet was so dirty I never took off my shoes. The deadbolt lock was broken, and there was a makeshift contraption in its place. Didn't get requested wake-up call. I went to five floors before I found a working ice machine. Front desk clerk didn't seem to care. But the breakfast buffet was good. Won't stay again.2015-03-18"

Downtown Birmingham hotels are near the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex and the Legacy Arena. There are more hotels near I-65, the Birmingham Airport, and the University of Alabama.
Birmingham's hotels range from cheap to upscale, extended-stay to bed and breakfast inns.
By local law all Birmingham hotel and motel rooms must be smoke-free.
Birmingham began in the late 1800's as a farm town and quickly became and important industrial and mining town. Today it's known as a major business center in the Southeast and for its universities.
Birmingham is the home of Stamford University, Birmingham Southern College, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham to name a few.
While in town for a conference at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, spend some time downtown enjoying the fare at award-winning restaurants.
Birmingham is full of history, so tour the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Sloss Furnaces, and the Southern Museum of Flight.
Don't miss out on the rich variety of arts and culture. Visit the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame and the Birmingham Museum of Art.
Hear 80 bands at Secret Stages' August festival or a concert at Iron City. Get tickets to hear the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, attend the Art Walk in September or see a play at the Virginia Samford Theatre.
For a change of pace, head out to Oak Mountain State Park or ride the zipline at Red Mountain Park and then go hiking or biking.
If you enjoy sports, experience a game at Legion Field or see the Alabama Outlawz or the Birmingham Blitz at Harris Arena.
For a family outing, gather at Alabama Splash Adventure, Birmingham Zoo, or the McWane Science Center.

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
