I can see that this is a hotel you would either love or hate - I happened to love it. I like the historical aspects of the hotel, the location is great, the staff are really nice, the beds are super-comfortable, the shower has good water pressure and there was plenty of hot water. The decor is eclectic and a... More

The Hotel Highland at Five Points in Birmingham came quite well recommended, and it sounded from the comments and location that it should have been in a fairly popular and happening neighborhood, being close to a university campus and shops. I think I arrived perhaps having too high a level of expectation for the neighborhood - after all, when you... More

We booked rooms for our wedding group at the Hotel Highland the last week of March and the hotel was so cool and the staff was great and the rooms overlooking Five Points and HIghlands were so romantic. This spot has a cool downtown feel and the best dining in the entire city. You may be asked by a bum... More

From the valet parking to the funky elevators to the local brews on tap in the bar area, you wouldn't know that the Hotel Highland is a member of the Choice Hotels family (Econo Lodge, Comfort Inn, etc.). The Highland is about as "boutique" as you will find in Birmingham. Beds are comfortable & the shower has nice pressure, but... More

We stayed at the Highland Hotel the last weekend in March 2011. We arrived 3:15 and were told that our room was not ready. (check in time is 3) We were given a room at 3:40. When we got into our room the safe did not work and one of the bedside lamps did not work. We called front desk... More

For $100 extra we got fake rose petals, a horrible continental breakfast, & sparkling wine (not champagne). Also, we had sloppy housekeeping, a dusty room, and 1star customer service. We have had better romance packages at other hotels for less. More

Thank you for your comments regarding the Romance Package~ My untmost apologies that the package was not up to your or our expectations. Though we do always use the silk rose petals, as they do not stain and you can take with you as a memory keeper, the champagne should not have been a sparkling wine. We have trained and... More

My husband and friends stayed there this past weekend for the Jimmy Buffet concert and had a great experience! We were greeted everytime we walked in the front door and there was someone there to open the door for us each time. We choose the Valet parking and they were awesome! The breakfast was also good.

This hotel was just ok. THe best thing about it is the location. In 5 points near restaurants, etc... I walked to the downtown and passed other hotels that are not as close to anything because to be honest i found B'ham to be a bit dead downtown. The hotel is ok but I kept hearing loud music when I... More
