A wonderful stay in downtown Birmingham
Pros:

Clean and spacious. Daniel the parking attendant was professional and helpful. Tk at front desk was helpful,friendly and courteous at check in.

Cons:

Elevators could be taken by anyone to the floors. I would have felt more secure if after dark hours required room key entrance at elevators and entrances.

I wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Really nice gym
Valet parking

Cons:

They didn’t tell me they only clean the room every other day.
Noise from street and on 3rd floor sound of weights dropping on floor, early in the morning. I would try somewhere else.
