My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but the noise level from the TV made it difficult to enjoy. The service was a bit of a letdown due to the overselling of rooms but redeemed by the extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for UAB events but lacked charm. The dining experience was disappointing, driving me to opt for a local Starbucks. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

Rooms

The rooms appeared clean, comfortable, and welcoming despite some ground-in stains on the shower floor. However, the excessive noise from the TV was a major inconvenience, requiring high volume to overcome the sound of the unit.

The service, particularly at The Lab with Maryanne, started off rocky with oversold rooms but redeemed itself with extremely helpful, friendly staff offering a warm greeting upon entering the front entrance.

The hotel's proximity to UAB events was convenient, and the willingness of the staff to assist was commendable. However, the atmosphere felt lacking, falling between mildew and a nursing home

My stay at this hotel was like any other, but the room with a balcony and city view was very nice and spacious. The staff was super sweet and took care of any issues promptly. The location was great for the activity I came to attend in Birmingham, convenient not just to UAB but to all of downtown Birmingham. The dining experience was good, although a bit pricey.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was excellent, ideal for my meetings at UAB, the room left much to be desired as it was dirty with no view. The service lacked warmth despite being efficient, and the dining experience was disappointing. However, the downtown location was convenient, and the staff tried their best to make things better.
