Business trip to surprisingly fun homewood
Pros:

James and Sheena were incredibly friendly. Location couldn’t be better between homewood and mountain view for food and some cool boutique shopping. Room was fine, no complaints. Hotel conference room for a business seminar was clean and well organized. The staff is the highlight of this property. Everyone was genuinely happy and helpful. Will be back. (Thanks James for finding my lost shirt !)

Shouldn’t be in Curio Collection
Pros:

We had prepaid for valet parking. NO ONE was there. We parked ourselves and asked the person at desk to be sure we weren’t charged for this. he replied, “ I am sure they are just hanging out in break room. I can get one of them”.
The room itself was run down. The grout in shower was gross and someone else’s hair was present. Where tile joined carpet there were multiple cuts onto edges of tile-sharp. Hilton website says breakfast until 10:30, but it closes from 10-11. DEFINITELY not up to Curio standards and a waste of $&

Perfect
Pros:

I traveled with my mom and my aunt who are both in their early 70s and Jean at the valet desk and every other employee honestly was overly gracious and helpful with us. It was perfect just their attitude alone is a reason that will always be my first choice in Birmingham.

Very average and Overpriced
Pros:

This is a very overpriced hotel and not very clean. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, however $350++ per night for a hotel room. (IN Alabama!!?!) is a bit extreme. I would have expected so much more based on the prices. I have stayed at dozens of 5star , luxury hotels in my 35 years of international travel…..and this hotel does not hold a candle to any of them. Paper and plastic cups in the rooms!!!!!, Hair on the bed linens!!, stains on carpet, dusty bathroom. Sorry, this is not a luxury Hilton accommodation.
