I LOVE this hotel, the staff, and area. Unfortunately, our floor had the intense odor of marijuana, which was very uncomfortable, off-putting, and, frankly, unexpected for this kind of establishment.

Gorgeous, comfortable luxury hotel

A classic luxury hotel, with thoroughly modern features and furnishings. Located in downtown Birmingham, its right at the center of ao many wonderful bars, restaurants, and stores. The staff is amazing, helpful, and friendly. The rooms are spotless, and exceptionally comfortable! Everything is clean and well cared for. The only problem is you'll have a hard time getting out of bed, its so comfortable! I always love staying here!

Beautiful hotel, sheets had “old” smell, shower had orange(mold or rust) grout. Very friendly staff. Toilet ran on and off all night, other mechanical “sounds” and annoying blue light coming from some device at top of wall….. sleep was not great.
