Too noisy to sleep
Pros:

Staff was friendly, professional, and accommodating. Clean room, comfortable good linens, plentiful and quick hot water, close-up mirror in bathroom, and good room size. The room decor was very nice and focused on the locality. Everything in the room seemed in good working order except the HVAC. Other great features were a restaurant and coffee bar on the premises and free shuttle transport to the hospitals or airport. Location is very convenient to all the hospitals and clinics in Birmingham.

Cons:

The air conditioner was passed its last performance life. It was so noisy that as soon as I walked into the room, I sat down my bags and called the front desk. Instead of offering me another room, they offered to send someone from engineering. He promptly came to look at it and made some adjustments to help it cool down the room but couldn't do anything about the noise. I asked if the air conditioners were this loud in all the rooms, and he said, "Pretty much." Therefore, he left, and I unpacked. Maybe some people act out or have a tantrum and maybe get a quieter room, but that's not me. Even with the curtains completely closed, the A/C struggled to keep the room cool. The temperature didn't go below 73 degrees until the middle of the night. I measured the decibel level of the noise, and it was at 95 decibels, which continued all night. That level is comparable to a bus engine, which is exactly what it sounded like. It was measured as louder than a noisy restaurant, and it definitely was. Needless to say, we didn't sleep very well. I feel like this is a known problem because they didn't offer a better room, and the engineer didn't see it as a problem. But, as I said, the measurement on an actual decibel meter was continuously at 95 decibels. So this is not just me being overly sensitive.
I'm sorry, but even with all the good things this hotel has to offer, I can not recommend it based on the noisy HVAC that prevents a good night's rest.

Excellent front desk staff and location and some areas for improvement
Pros:

Several positives! Excellent, helpful and professional staff at the front desk at this hotel. Parking was easy, in a lot next door, and excellent location if your goal is to be close to UAB. Starbucks in the lobby for your morning coffee is always so appreciated. Beds were comfortable.

Things I didn’t like - Several guests (8 rooms total) staying on the floor where I was, left their fast food, take out dinner/trash outside of their rooms instead of finding a trash can to dispose of the trash. These discards stayed outside of rooms overnight and created unpleasant odors and didn’t exactly create a clean and tidy vibe. Trash was also overflowing out front when I entered the lobby. I was overall disappointed in the cleanliness of the hotel - the bathrooms, both in the lobby and in my room were not as clean as I expected. Showers, toilets, sinks, etc. did not feel sanitized or clean. My room also had a sour smell almost like someone had spilled beer or another beverage on the carpet. I would not choose to stay at this hotel again due to the cleanliness issues.
