Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, wonderfully updated fitness center (could use another treadmill), and an outstanding hot breakfast! I had a wonderful stay!! Oh, and less than 10 minutes from BHM Airport.
The breakfast was very good. The only thing was there was no ice when we were leaving. The room was very comfortable and the bath had a roll in shower which I requested.
From the time I arrived until the time I left I can say this place and staff were absolutely perfect! It also was a pet friendly place and my dog enjoyed his time!! My experience was 10/10
My state was great everything from the staff rooms and the area are all above my expectations. I will stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was efficient, checkin was fast. Lobby and breakfast area was clean and in good condition. Breakfast foods were typical but bland nothing to get excited about. The room, however was dingy and badly in need of renovation, especially the bathroom was in need of a deep cleaning. Shower curtain was stained and bathtub had stains and mildew and the smell was very musty. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Everything was OK. Room was clean enough and quiet and the AC was quiet and functional. Nothing dreadful, but things like one of the two elevators was out of service. We are able-bodied and didn’t have a ton of luggage, so we could take the stairs when we needed to. The pool was open but super crowded with kids. The breakfast area was OK, but the coffee machine would have been too slow if there had been more adults trying to get coffee. HIE in general could do better with breakfast options.
Staff was pleasant but seemed a little overwhelmed and under-trained. We couldn’t get connected to WiFi for awhile, but there was a cell tower nearby and we have unlimited data, so it was just a mild annoyance.
