Traveled to Birmingham for a church service and ran across the property downtown. Has a sign outside that states new hotel - now open however, it is not a new hotel. It appears to be a refurbished hotel. It does have newer and modern furniture but it still has flaws that stand out such as the unfriendly housekeepers. On our way out, one actually spoke! They look at you like what are you doing here. In the room our bathroom had something that looked like mold all around the shower and I actually took a tissue and wiped a few long pieces of red hair off the floor by the shower! Ugh! It had an odor like it had been wiped with an unclean mop. The only reason we did not complained was because we was checking out early the next morning. The bed slept great but we was awaken out of our sleep at approximately 3:00 in the morning by the loud banging of the trash truck. It actually took them fifteen minutes to empty the trash bins. Our room was on the second floor overlooking a back alley and that noise scared the sleep out of us! On my return trip to Birmingham, I will look at other hotels first before I return back to this one. We were also hit with extra parking fees! Be careful and please check your bill. « less

Let me start by apologizing to you for not exceeding your expectations, we fell short and for that we apologize. We have placed a call into our Garbage Company to hopefully remedy the dumpster noise issue and should not have that issue going forward. While our hotel is not Brand New it is 3.5 years old and was rebranded as a Marriott 1 year ago. I am sorry to hear about all of the issues with your stay but do want to let you know that this isn't typical. We hope you will give us another try in the future. Please call and ask for me personally the next time you are traveling to Birmingham and I will make sure we take great care of you and your travelers.

Traveled to the Birmingham area for my husbands job and decided to bring the kids and stay an extra night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, they were even nice to our two extremely active, talkative young children. Our room was clean and the perfect size with two comfortable beds and a foldout couch, which was great because the kids did not have to share a bed. I loved the modern finishes of the room and the small fridge was very handy. I hardly ever get more than coffee from the breakfast that is served at hotels but the family and I took advantage of the many many options they provided both mornings. It was yummy. I recommend this hotel. « less

Requested quiet room when reserving and upon arrival, was given a room on club side of hotel, request room change, new room was on front side of hotel (but not as noisy), staff tried to make me change rooms again but I refused. Housekeeping staff unfriendly and unhelpful, requested extra towels and was told to go down the front desk. Dirty carpet in room, looked like it had not been deep cleaned in a long time. Front desk staff associate Felicia extremely rude, unfriendly, bad attitude. Felicia should not be in the customer service business. Breakfast area not well replenished, not well stocked, not clean. Paid for parking on hotel bill, yet had to pay again in the parking garage to exit, what a ripoff. Garage is dark and dimly lit, doesn’t create a secure feeling. Hallways were dark and dingy, dirty carpet. One elevator was out of order causing a long delay getting to/from room. Poor WIFI connections. « less

I am so sorry to read that our hotel missed the mark for your recent stay in Birmingham. This is not a typical occurrence and I do want to apologize for your troubles while staying with us. I know how uncomfortable it can be to lose sleep and apologize for that. I furthermore apologize for the housekeeping issues, this is not a typical occurrence either and I hate that you experienced this lack of service. While I can't change your past stay I can ensure that any future stays are much better. Again this is not a typical occurrence. Please call me directly at the hotel for any future travels; we want to make sure that we don't leave a bad taste in your mouth going forward.

The hotel stay was such a disappointment. 1. Musty smell in the room which bothered my husbands allergies 2. Sleepless night 2 nights due to outside noise. Front desk notified us that a club is located on the corner. The music was loud and we had to deal with sirens and cars with loud mufflers. The hotel was at capacity so we couldn't change rooms. 3. House keeping came in to half make up the beds but did not empty the trash cans(food containers and female personal items) or replace towels. The towels were dirty because they had been used twice. I was very disappointed with the stay and the money spent wasn't worth the sleepless nights. I almost forgot... both mornings they ran out of food and was slow about replenishing. « less

We stayed here for a girls weekend and it was great. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was laid out perfect for a girls weekend and very clean. The location was perfect to walk to dinner and bars and even the baseball stadium. We felt completely safe walking to 5 points area and back each night. « less
