Great place and friendly and efficient staff! Love the breakfast!
Pros:

Everything!

Cons:

One of the elevators was not working and there were repairmen working on it the entire time we were there banging on cables, etc. It was inconvenient and loud, but I know it needed to be fixed. The one elevator was crowded each time we used it. Hopefully it’s fixed by now.

Fulfilling! Adequate breakfast spread for it being included in the price.
Pros:

I liked that it was tucked away, it kept unwanted or unnecessary visitors away from the property. The location wasn’t inconvenient or too loud even when next to a highway!

Cons:

Only the elevator. It was slow and one of them would get stuck at the very top and hold me in there for longer than necessary. For the remainder of my trip I used the elevator as little as possible.

Pros:

Nice location. Quiet and friendly. Faith, the night clerk was excellent. She had such a welcoming smile! She had also been very helpful two nights before our stay when I realized I booked the wrong date. Didn't care for having to dial in to the national system to make that change. First try I actually was told they would not help me and hung up on me. G
However my second try was more accommodating and willingly gave me the direct line to Birmingham, where I was greeted by Faith. Also could not figure out how to get the shower to work and could not make the keuric coffeemaker make coffee, even though we followed the directions on the machine. I told the front desk about it, probably just my age that got in the way. Do other visitors have trouble with these small issues? Beds were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ok but didn't eat until 8, so alot of the hot stuff was kinda dry and not very hot. Lots of choices. Coffee was very good. Overall though, would consider staying again.

Cons:

Checkout was at 11 and must admit we waited until then to do so. Don't think the cleaning staff was too happy about having to wait. They knocked on the door at 8. Felt they didn't understand why we weren't leaving. If 11 checkout is a problem, then corporate needs to rethink the allowable time.

Will not return, didn't sleep well and the smoke was an major issue.
Pros:

Receptionist was outstanding at check in!! Friendly and helpful.
Room was decent, pillows were not great. Bathroom updated and nice.
Breakfast food ok.

Cons:

The smoking outside the entrance is AWFUL!!!! The smoke enters your lobby, it's a haze. Benches outside your door for everyone to congregate and smoke is terrible.
I asked for a back side room, due to traffic noise. It was still terribly noisy. With earplugs at the checking, you obviously know this is a problem.
Several guests were using their phones for work conference calls of which was hard to talk when their calls were blaring. One person was watching Utube videos on full blast!! Not a great atmosphere for sure.

Clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly, but not enough water pressure in the shower to my liking.
Pros:

I had the pleasure of seeing comedian Henry Cho at the Lyric on August 22nd. I had to drive two and a half hours from home to Birmingham, so I stayed overnight at this hotel after the concert. It was only about a 20-minute drive from the hotel to the Lyric. I selected a room opposite the Interstate because I had read about the highway noise. I heard no highway noise, but the A/C unit was noisy. Earplugs are offered at the check-in desk. The bed was comfortable, and I fell asleep instantly after the concert because of the late hour and my body still being on Eastern Time. There was not enough water pressure in the shower to my liking, but plenty of hot water. If you are not comfortable with soft water, your skin will feel slippery in the shower. This Hampton Inn was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly. I always enjoy a Hampton Inn breakfast by making pecan waffles. No freshly baked cookies at this Hampton Inn, however. If I come back to Birmingham for another show at the Lyric, I may stay at this Hampton Inn again.
