The breakfast items were plentiful which are served from 7-10am. The beds were a little uncomfortable as if someone has been sitting and weighing down on one side. I think a quick fix on flipping the mattress will help. The location is very close to several stores and restaurants, i.e Walmart, Sam's, K & G, Starbucks, and Chipotle just to name a few. Overall, if I return to Birmingham I will book at this location again.

When staying in a hotel, there is an implicit understanding that the hotelier will provide a safe…read moreenvironment for their guests. This hotel does not meet this standard. I had a medical procedure scheduled at UAB. My husband didn't want me driving home by myself the next day so he came down to Birmingham with me. We were a little early so went straight to the hotel to get him checked in. Besides a little language barrier with the front desk clerk, check in was uneventful. We proceeded to his room. Even before we crossed the threshold, the smell of what we thought was bleach hit us square in the face. We thought maybe housekeeping spilled bleach while cleaning the bathroom. Upon further inspection, we realized that the smell was coming from the bedroom area. It was absolutely overwhelming. Almost immediately I developed a headache and my asthma started to act up. I had to leave the room. We went to the front desk and spoke with a different employee, my husband telling her that he couldn't stay in that room - the smell made the room uninhabitable. She said that the hotel was full and there was nothing she could do. She did come down to the room with us to see (smell) what the problem was. Upon entering the room, she immediately knew what it was - the room was recarpeted the day before and it was the off-gassing of the carpet and glue that was causing the odor. We all went back to the front desk where she reiterated that there were no other rooms available and there was nothing she could do. There must have been something going on in BHM this weekend - I had a hard time even finding a room at all. My husband had no option but to stay in this room. We moved his bag in then proceeded to the hospital. I got checked in and got settled in my room all the while with my head feeling like it was about to split in two. I asked the doctor for some Tylenol and told her why I had a headache. She immediately said that my husband absolutely should not stay in that room - the gasses being given off by the glue were hazardous to his health. We told her that there were no rooms available in BHM for the evening. Dr P always goes above and beyond, that's why I like her so much. Once again, she just blew me away with her kindness when she offered my husband a recliner so he could spend the night in my room. Because there was a little delay in getting my test started, my husband took the opportunity to go back to the hotel to check out. Upon telling the front desk clerk that he was checking out, he was told that he wasn't able to until morning. He emphasized that the room was uninhabitable but that fell on deaf ears - she repeated that she was full and couldn't (wouldn't) accommodate him. He asked for the manager and was told that they wouldn't be in until Monday. There was no one at the hotel who could even make a higher level decision. He knew he couldn't and wouldn't stay in that room so he grabbed his bag and left. The clerk wouldn't even give him a receipt. She said he could get it in the morning. We lost $225 on a room that was dangerous for him to stay in. Let me expound on the danger. The "new carpet" odor is the 4-PC off-gassing, which can cause headaches, nausea and eye and respiratory tract irritation. It may also affect the central nervous system. The adhesive used to affix the carpet to the floor typically contains benzene and toluene, some of the most harmful VOCs. These compounds are toxic and known carcinogens. It was reckless of the hotel to sell a room in this condition. Furthermore, refusing to allow my husband to check out and have the room refunded was unconscionable. We stay at Holiday Inn Express often. We have stayed in this particular hotel before without issue. Sure, the room is probably safe to stay in today but the complete lack of concern towards the occupant's health was dangerous and irresponsible. This time is was volatile chemicals - who knows what hazard will be ignored tomorrow. The next time we come to Birmingham, even if this hotel has the last room available in the city, I will stay in my car rather than here. I will be contacting IHG about this incident.

This hotel is on 65 N. out of Birmingham Alabama. It is about 15 minutes from downtown Birmingham…read more It is easy to access as it is right off the interstate, though it is tucked a little bit behind the Publix grocery store. The property is fairly new - at least it seems to be so. The rooms are quite large and spacious. The beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are large. The closet in our room was the size of a small walk-in closet. There was a large entryway to the room with a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker and ice bucket. There is a nice sitting area, couch and table, plus a desk/workspace with retractable privacy screen (tastefully done). The hotel offers free breakfast and free parking and I thought it was a good value at about $165 for the night I stayed (compared to other properties). The hotel rating on the site I used was a 4.4 - which was a good rating and the rating was spot on for what I would give (I gave a 5/5). It was in a great area with lots of dining and shopping options too and it was in a safe area. The lot was well lighted at night. The property also has a pool. I would stay here again. Special thanks to Annette at breakfast who serviced the breakfast area and kept everything fresh and stocked! She had great customer service and was very friendly!

Yep- these folks are among the few remaining who still subscribe to the old school philosophy- that's how they've been in business for so long. While their staples like homemade Italian sausage (Original recipe from Sicily) and assorted pastas remain on their menu, you'll also find that delicious contemporary delights like bacon wrapped dates, grace it as well. They're pros at catering everything from a taligate party with savory hot wings and steaming sliders to a formal dinner featuring mouth watering beef tenderloin. They'll supply everything you need from silver chafers, to serving staff. On top of that- they not only set it up- they CLEAN it up. Both our business, and our family, have used them exclusively for the past 15 years- and we'd never consider calling anyone else. P.S- Mr. Louis does an INCREDIBLE moist turkey and savory dressing for the holidays...just get your heirloom platter ready, and have them deliver to your back door... they are also very good at keeping secrets ;)
