Pros:

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful and parking was convenient, if a little pricey.

Cons:

I did not have anything that registered as a did not like other than the breakfast area was a little tight for a crowded morning -- but that did not create a problem.

Stay here if you can, it was fabulous!
Pros:

Everything. The room was plush, comfy, there was a couch/sitting room and a bed, plus a bathroom. There was a full size refrigerator. It was like a full apartment!

Cons:

That it’s in Birmingham! I will have to stay there again if I ever head up that way again.

Nice spot near Five Points area
Pros:

Loved the location near Five Points. Room was comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful. The guy working the breakfast area was absolutely delightful. We were able to find parking on the street so did not have to pay to park in the lot.

Unexpectedly great!!
Pros:

The staff was wonderful including the night security guard!!! Room was great and very clean!

Cons:

Parking! The hotel lot is smaller and only offers minimal street parking. I parked in a no parking zone marked in red on the curb on a corner, and although staff assured me it was ok, I was worried all night about getting towed . Please upgrade your pillows or advise guests to bring their own! They were terrible, but the beds were great!
