Verified Reviews of Courtyard by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at Uab

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Hospital stay discount."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We were here due to my husband having a pituitary tumor removed from his brain. I was disappointed that we were not given a discount for a hope stay. They said we booked with a third party and they could change the price. There should be a way to discount for things like this. Just saying.
