Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms were cozy and inviting, providing a restful environment. Unfortunately, there was no room service available, and it would have been convenient to have a microwave in the room instead of just an ice maker. The menu options could be more diverse.
Staying at this hotel near a hospital, only a tenth of a mile away, was a convenient choice for our needs. The rooms were very clean and welcoming, though it would have been even better if they had a microwave, not just the ice maker in the rooms. The service, despite my mistake of booking through a third party, was wonderful and courteous, especially the ladies at the front desk. The location was very convenient for the UAB medical center, and even though the dining options within a 10-minute walk were limited, I felt at ease not having to deal with traffic. The hotel facilities offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, albeit a bit too cold for my liking. The service was excellent overall, but there were some interactions that felt a bit off. The location, while convenient for the UAB medical center, lacked dining options within walking distance. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited options and additional charges. However, the facilities met expectations.
