Residence Inn Birmingham Downtown at UAB

We really liked the hotel and staff. The only issue was that the hotel is undergoing renovations. Noisy during the day and we only had one small trash can in the bathroom. We had the kitchen suite. No trash cans on our floor either.

Overall the room was clean and furnished. Only issue I found was some empty beer cans in a kitchen cabinet. No biggie I just tossed them in the trash. They were in the middle of a remodel of the lobby so it was dusty. The front desk staff was great, polite and accommodating. I would recommend. Walking distance to UAB and the Children’s hospital. Several food choices close by too.

Under construction to say the least! Mouse feces in the cabinet. Cold water in the shower. The cable boxes and wires all fell out under the tv and were hanging above the fireplace. There was salt on the counter as if someone just ate there. No we’re to park because the lot is covered in construction materials. Nowhere to eat because that also was under construction. It was horrible.

My stay was awesome. However, I have stayed at this location many times in the past. I do not like the fact you have to pay for parking now. Please reconsider the parking fee, especially in the past there has never been enough parking.

New, clean rooms with all the necessary items except hand soap. Construction elevator seemed to be the only elevator working upon arrival but understandable due to ongoing renovations. Like the late check out time. Good stay.

Hotel under construction. Full of workers and dangerous to guests. Should not be open to guests

This is a great hotel, very clean, and the service was also very good. However, renovation was going on, so there was construction material everywhere. Very little parking at hotel, but they still charge a 23 dollar a day fee for parking.

The front desk was literally rude … said that there is an issue with my reservation and she refused to check my ******* app … then made me call ******* just so she takes the payment at the property .. I never had any issues with this sort of situation. Just her attitude made the stay very uncomfortable .

I travel a lot and this was the 3rd of 6 hotels on this trip alone and the only one I would not stay at again. The staff were great and very helpful and friendly, I will say that, but this hotel is dirty, poorly maintained and not in good condition. I'm not going to go into great detail but I have no idea how this hotel gets 8.5 points and is rated as "Excellent". With the exception of the staff, there's really nothing excellent about it. My room actually felt "sticky". The "sofa" in the suite area felt as if it were latex coated and was in poor condition, as was the other furniture in the room, including the bed which was visibly sagging and "squeaked". The bathroom was not clean, with visible rust and soil in the shower and around the sink base. My apologies to the staff for this review, they really were the bright spot. I will be back to Birmingham, but not to this hotel. A quick side note, if you do stay here, there are really no amenities, no restaurant, no lounge area, no bar, although about 3 blocks easy walking up the hill there is a neighborhood where you can find a few shops, bars, and places to eat.
