O.k. Where do i start! First let me say that the images that they portay on the internet are not even the hotel in Birmingham. but i am sure they look at it like once you are there what does it matter anyway. when we arrived the front desk staff was not very friendly, except one lady with curly blond hair. but other than that EVERYONE was so ugly, it was almost like they did not want to be bothered by us. we tried to ask questions and were shrugged off by everyone but that one lady who's name escapes me. Now as for the rooms...... DISGUSTING, NASTY, HORRIBLE, there were Roaches, Nats and Spiders!!!! Hair in the sheets, sinks on the counters, Embeded in the carpets... MOLD EVERYWHERE!!! in the floor on the bathroom, behind the toilet, in the refridgerator. Oh and there was somekind of filth that was all over the walls, it almost looked like.. well i am not going to say what it looked like. but it was sure not just your everyday dirt, I'll tell you that! and when we asked for someone to come up and maybe clean it up we were told that the house keepers were on break and would not come until the next day because they had TOO MANY ROOMS TO CLEAN ALREADY. On our trips to our room carrying our luggage we were propositioned not one, not two, but three different times twice for Drugs and once for Sex. keep in mind my 12 year old niece was with me, you can only imagine the horror. But here is the kicker Folks.... are you ready... when i went down to tell the front desk staff, I was first told that they had problems in the past but had gotton rid of it and that i must be mistaken. Which that only caused me to come unglued at wich time they told me that it happens all the time as they laughed !!!! there excact words were (I kid you not) "just go up the far right flight of stairs on the front of the building look around the corner and then when you don't see anyone then go " ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME !!! So when i asked for my money back they told me that i would not get my money back for that night because they would not be able to sell that room and our rate would go from $38.99 up to $64.99 because we were not staying a full week. we were not even in the room a full 2 hours ( and that is pushing it ) and it was 3:30 on a Friday. ( i am sure there were plenty of prostitues and crack heads lining up outside to snatch that room up. but i guess, what's a few dolloars if we are able to make it out of there ALIVE. MORAL OF THIS STORY STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM SUNSUITES IN BIRMINHGAM !!!! YOU MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT ALIVE ! AND IF YOU DO I AM SURE WHAT EVER FUNK IS IN THE ROOM WILL KILL YOU IN A FEW DAYS ANYWAY!!

My company sends me to this hell hole every time we have to go to Birmingham. Its CHEAP but the reason the prices are so low is because they don't clean worth a [--]. Good luck getting to sleep with doors slamming and people yelling.
But if your looking for a hooker you don't have to go to far.
BTW wear a pair of flip flops in the room.

“Bring a mop, roach spray, and slippers”

Sun Suites Of Birmingham

Nov 5, 2007

I should have listened to the other reviews. My room was on the third floor over a guest who has been living there since 2005. She does not like when you are moving in because she beats on the floor when you are moving around trying to unpack. I walked on the floor sock footed and with in 10 min, they were black from the dirty floor. I bought a mop and passed it three times with Lysol and the water was still flithy. I also mopped the carpet which was full of burn marks. The curtains has holes in them. Yes, I too had a roach visit not sure if it had friends. I was in a non smoking room but with the help of lysol and air freshner I could stand it. My friends also spent the week and had their workbox broken into and all of their tools were stolen.
To be fair I will also leave a good comment for the front desk staff ,they were very nice and helpful, one lady left us the information they we needed on our answer machine. I will also say that the bed was comfortable after we had been working 11 hrs for several days. The outside does not look bad but maybe with some work the inside could look the same.

“Cockroaches welcome at Sun Suites!”

Bartonville
Oct 30, 2007

We came to Alabama from Illinois to attend the Nascar race in Talladega. As soon as we turned into the parking lot of Sun Suites, we thought it didn't look bad. BOY WERE WE WRONG! This hotel is the WORST hotel my husband and I ever stayed in! The floors were discusting! I wouldn't walk in my bare feet on those floors! There was hair all over the tub (and I mean ALL kinds of hair). There were no amenities such as soap, shampoo, and there was a sign saying, "if you need more towels, you will be CHARGED!" The most horrific thing at this hotel though is... they have COCKROACHES! We saw them the day we left. We were scared to death to return our luggage back home, so we had to make sure and shake everything out before we entered our home! To sum up, I think the Bates Motel would be a palace compared to this dump!!! My advice... DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT!

“Pitiful!”

When my husband and I first pulled into the parking lot the building seemed to be clean and inviting! Well, all changed when we went to the front desk! The person checking us in was rude and rushed us through our checkin to continue on with her "phone" conversation! We let that slide and went up to the room! At first glance it seemed to be ok! Then we got to looking around and it looked as if the room hadn't been cleaned since the place had opened! There was mold in the kitchen, bathroom, dust everywhere, and the carpet seemed to be stained with who knows! I would not even sit on the toilet, sleep on the sheets, or walk in that place without my socks on! The remote did not work, we called for maintence, the water was foul! Need I go on? To sum things up...rude, uninviting, disgusting, and in one word HORRIBLE!
