This reservation was made through Expedia and proved to be one of the most horrible experiences I have had in years. The desk Clerk was an absolute nightmare. The first set of door key/cards indicated that my room was room number 224 but despite multiple attempts the cards did not work and he tells me if I put them near anything magnetic, I ruin them. The second set, which was only one, I placed between my teeth. It did not work either upon returning to the lobby. He began to shout that I would not “disrespect him”. And insisted that the door was open and the key did work. He then insisted that I follow him back upstairs so that he could show me. As I neared the door to room number 224 I began to slow down, but he kept going. With a rather dramatic flourish he open the door to room 228 and looked at me to say there. When I showed him the room card that said 224 he got very still, then went around me again telling me I would not disrespect him in a most agitated manner and that I could leave. That seems like good advice at the time so I gathered all my stuff one last time went down to the desk and ask him please to cancel my reservation and was there anything I needed to sign? He said no so I left and went to a different motel. I called customer service from that motel room and was told I needed to call the manager of the Holiday Inn the next morning. I was not able to do that until about 1 o’clock the next afternoon and when I did a very gruff young man answered the phone.…….

Adequate parking and well lit. I indicated there were 3 adults and 2 children in my party but the suit was not prepared with bath towels for 5 nor did they provide a duvet and sheets for the pull out bed. Then no towels for the pool.

You never know

I would have given it a better score, but there were several kids' basketball teams staying at the same hotel for a tournament and that kinda ruined the peace and quiet, especially since we had a toddler in the room (and had a sound machine). You just never know.

Wasn't horrible, but wasn't great either.

Although the staff love to stare at their phone they were friendly and helpful when we got their attention. Both rooms had no bedding for the sofas and when we asked for some the guy gave us them, but then looked at a staff member that was leaving telling them there were no more made. The pool was very cloudy. The hot tub was barely working. It didnt smell like chlorine at all. Next to the pool area was the laundry room. There was so much bedding and no washer or dryers going. Both rooms only had 3 towels per room. We had 11 total staying. When we asked for 6 towels we were given 2. Elevators were dirty. Floors were dirty in hallways. Breakfast was good and the area was clean there. I booked over a month in advance and they had both rooms on two different floors. And for how many were staying the rooms were VERY small.

The room was spacious. There was a place to put two suitcases off the floor (most rooms only have a single suitcase stand). The breakfast was good other than not having low-fat milk (there was only whole milk). The wifi was down pretty much the whole time. Perhaps for that reason, my bill was messed up. I have been charged by Expedia, charged again by the hotel, and the hotel has a third charge pending as of the time of this writing, two days after I checked out.

The property is very well located, there's lots to eat nearby and places to visit. Downtown Birmingham is not that that far. The Zoo and Science Museum were pretty close. The property was very cleaned and the pool was a delight. The only thing I didn't like was the front desk service. The attendant there seemed to have an attitude of get out of my way type of thing. He did comply with my requests but was always in a hurry to get me out of the way. I would suggest taking a different approach.

It was good enough but not what we hoped for

The staff was amazing and very nice. Check-in was a breeze. We drove 10 hours and wanted to stretch and exercise before bed because we had another 10 hours the next day. The gym has 5 pcs of equipment which worked fine but it was so hot in there. The heat was locked at 78 and there is no way to adjust it and no fans to move the air. We exercised the went to the room and got ready for the pool. The pool water was dirty and disgusting. We found 4 bandaids floating in the water, water was “cloudy” and the tile floor was covered in dirty. We will not be booking this one on the way back.
