The dining experience was also good with complimentary options. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
I had a great experience at the hotel. The rooms were lovely and had a wide selection of delicious foods, though there was a slight delay in them being ready, making us run a bit late. The service was friendly and very helpful, ensuring our rooms were ready on time for a special event. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore downtown Birmingham and was ideal for visiting Beaumont Hospital. The dining experience was amazing, offering a variety of options that made me consider coming back. Overall, it was definitely worth the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Despite some issues with room readiness and temperature, the hotel had a warm, family-like atmosphere where the service felt personalized and helpful. The location was convenient for exploring local bars and restaurants, but the limited space for hanging clothes was a drawback. The dining experience was above average, especially with the home-cooked feel of the food. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, offering a variety of options from healthy yogurt and fruit to indulgent biscuits and sausage gravy. While the rooms were large and had cozy sheets, they did show a bit of wear and tear. The service was exceptional, with staff members like Tye and the day manager going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location was convenient for exploring downtown Birmingham, making it a great choice for our stay. The dining experience was a highlight, with delicious home-cooked omelets and fresh orange juice. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms could do with a refresh and did not have a good view, making it expensive for what it offers. The rooms are clean but dull and old, definitely not worth the money. The service, on the other hand, is really helpful and friendly. The location is great and super convenient to downtown Birmingham, despite the shabby appearance. The dining experience feels like home cooking with portioned omelets and fresh orange juice, but lacks variety. Overall, the hotel falls short in room quality and value but shines in service and convenience.
