A nice hotel. HOWEVER - Courtyard Marriott charges expensive room rates to families who have loved ones in UAB Hospital. Courtyard Marriott claims it gives a discount, but this isn't true. I was charge the full rate - just like other families were who had sick family members in the hospital across the street. Several of us in the CICU... more

The lobby is new, pretty in an edgey-kind of way...the breakfast buffet was limited but not too bad (melon wasn't ripe but there were two kinds) with a chef to make you omelets! It goes downhill from then on. In short, service (front desk and housekeeping) are subpar. Had trouble with check in AND check out (and I'm Marriott Silver).... more

This is an exceptional hotel. The accommodations are brand new and luxurious. There is a very good restaurant in the hotel. I'm looking forward to my next stay! more

We were in Birmingham for a wedding on March 15th. We checked in at about 8PM on March 14th. After showering and getting into bed, we realized the noise from the elevator would make it very difficult to sleep. I went down to the front desk to find out if we could be moved to another room. The front desk... more

My wife and I visted Birmingham for 3 days. The hotel was pleasant and clean with decent service. Parking was in the hopital garage and cost $6.00 per day. A previous review did state that you hear the ambulance during the night. Our experience found the statement to be true. No decent dining in the immediate area but, the town... more

Stayed there with my wife for a couple of nights in September 2007. It's a pretty nice place that we'd return to if in Birmingham. Helpful staff and nice rooms, though the walls are a bit thin. Good, reasonably priced breakfast buffet. Free internet access in the lobby and rooms, which is a good feature. Small but adequate exercise room,... more

We were in Birmingham for a wedding and I booked this hotel based on the reviews here. We were not disappointed. It was clean (although there was a hint of that cleaning fluid smell), our room was lovely, the colors, the bedding, the bathroom all nice. There was a refrigeratorand a thermostat. A small exercise room was just down the... more

Stayed one night (6/1/07) in room 430. Room rate was $119 pre-tax. Was here on business. Room was very clean. Free wi-fi throughout the hotel. My sleep was interrupted several times during the night by ambulance sirens since the hotel is across the street from the ambulance entrance to the hospital. Parking was $6 per day in the garage shared... more
