Stayed at the property for one week. The property was excellent with the exception of the laundry facilities. The washer and dryer were dated and had brown worn stains in the washer drum the trash had not been emptied, and it smelled the rooms were clean. The bedding was clean. The staff was great however they do charge for parking.

Simply blown away at how nice our room is. The room is very cozy, and the renovations in the room is very, very nice. And the kitchenette with full size fridge and microwave is a huge plus. Definitely coming back when I visit Birmingham.

Warm welcome, professional & top customer service.

The Experience start from check-in with Debra it was extremely busy, she was cool, calm, professional, patience and understanding. She thank you for waiting patiently and was still able to tell what time the breakfast, where the elevator, and etc with a Smile. Ms. Luchelle, omg was holding down Saturday with people coming and going for hours, assistant with a Smile, while giving Good advice to one of the guest as they were having a conversation. She great every guest that was enter and leaving...welcome to Sweet Home Alabama. My check-out process was a wonderful experiences with KeKe, you felt like this is the Best hotel and it was, she made sure everything was good and when I expressed 1 problem, she took care of the issue. She as well offered a warm welcome introduction. Hotel clean from entrance to elevator to your room. Outside was clean too. Front receptionist team ladies are Amazing!
