I stayed here while attending a seminar at the local university. The property is obviously past it's prime, although the location is very convenient for my purposes. The staff was not exactly surly, but could definitely use some classes in customer service. Initially I booked a room with 2 doubles as a classmate was going to arrive on the second... More

Lets see we can start with the hotel staff from the desk clerks who seemed frustrated to be there to the maintenance guy walking around angry because his hammer or something like that was missing. I can refer to the minor fire in the hotel (dirty rags in a dryer don't go together) where the fire alarm kept going off... More

This weekend, we came with about 20 friends through Zoom Motorsports. It was obvious when the shuttle was laye to the airport they had changed management. Roomsvwere dirty. Restaurant was out of...

I booked a reservation here, sight & reviews unseen, because Clarion Hotels and the Choice line of lodging are usually very nice. This was not. The room was in need of repair. The area where the wall & ceiling met, was separating; the bathroom had not been thoroughly cleaned - hairs in sink & tub; the carpet gathered in spots,... More

Hotel was clean but check in took more than 45. Claimed "slow Computers". Average stay. heater/AC in room was very noisy.. Close to airport with shuttle on the half hour in the AM. Had to go to lobby for snack machines.

This hotel, which is very close to the airport, exists purely for the stranded traveler, or for trysts. It is quite spartan, but very inexpensive. The shuttle driver is great - he will drive you to the local Hardee's or Kebab house (there is currently no food at the hotel), the desk clerk was very nice, and the bartender Paul... More

The hotel is 1 mile from the Birmingham, Al airport. It is very comfortable, clean and the customer service is great. The only drawback from the hotel is there's nothing around it as far as dining and the kitchen was closed the weekend I stayed. If you are looking for a inexpensive place to lay your head this is it.

We stayed at this hotel because it was close to the airport. Only one night. The price was really, really low. The hotel is dated and has seen better days. The door to the room was old and worn. The room was clean and comfortable and very quiet. The staff was friendly and efficient. Our friends that live in Birmingham... More
