"I stayed here for two days while in the Birmingham area for business. POSITIVES- Very fast/dependable wifi, rooms are quiet & comfortable, easy access from I-65 & Lakeshore Dr., friendly & helpful staff, clean & maintained fitness center. NEGATIVES- hallway & room carpet need deep cleaning, while the dining was nice, the prices for food & drinks are definitely on the high side."

Real reviews from guests
"We were there for an unfortunate family emergency for 9 days EVERY staff member was more than helpful and sympathetic and tended to our every need. Thank you all. Couldn't ask for a better hotel for hospital stays. RIP. Sandra Hayes"
"I loved this hotel! Fresh Fields right across the road within walking distance so I could stock the fridge with healthy snacks and meals while I'm working - clean quiet pool just outside my ground floor room with sliding glass doors to my own little patio - very spacious and clean room too! Had a little hiccup connecting my phone to the Internet but the receptionist was very helpful and connected me with tech support who manually added my device...."
"Great staff. Bubbly personalities. Great little café even though they are priced a bit high. Rooms were excellent, no complaints."
"Tammi was the sweetest, she got me checked in super quick and was very professional."
"It was a very nice hotel, close to the place I needed to be. Very friendly staff and welcoming . 15 minutes away from the airport. Very nice location. There is a Starbucks inside which is really convenient. The rooms were very clean and the room was perfect"
"Receptionists (thursday and friday 2/26&2/27) were very friendly and coordial, the room was exceptional, clean warm nice view of the court yard. Ample parking and the bistro very convenient."
"So me and my mom are from Florida and I take her to Birmingham once every month or few months for her dr appointments and we always stay here. What really makes our stay different is the front desk agent named Whitney. She is always welcoming, professional and friendly. She accommodates our needs and is a hardworker. Whitney truly makes a difference and will be returning soon."
