This is where I usually stay when traveling to Birmingham to visit my daughter at UAB. The hotel is clean, rooms are big, staff is friendly, and the breakfast is good. Parking lot feels unsafe due to the surrounding area.

Delayed checkin because sprior customer's purchase was not bar coded in computer software. waited 13 minutes to be greeted. Confirmed reservation w/Expedia was not in 'their computer. Finally was asked to resubmit CC for incidentals(not reqd with Expedia or ANY booking online). Their computer did not process. When submitted a second time...computer froze. Desk clerk projected their inefficiencies and frustration when talking to the manager because we were hoping that a savvy business decision would be to apologize and allow us to go to our room after a nine hour trip as we had been at front desk for 27 minutes from the time we entered the building and as seniors ...would not be trashing the room . But that did not happen. The room was fair at best B-/C with a broken remote, no, DoNotDisturb sign,no tissues, no paper towels but most importantly...the room smelled like a zoo! Carpet needs to be replaced not powdered and vacuumed. . Common sense, improvising and expediency are three ideas that come to mind. Very disappointed!

I am terribly pissed, disappointed and not to mention my plans for a stress free New Years Eve was completely ruined. I was NOT able to check in to the hotel because of the incidentals deposit could not be put on the card I used to pay for the room through Expedia. Card was not accepted and they wouldn’t take a cash deposit either. I was forced to go elsewhere and pay for another room. I want a FULL REFUND for the amount I prepaid for the room at Residence Inn.

Perfect for a few days stay. The folks who work here are, without a doubt, friendly and efficient. Out of their control, though, is that the $23/night parking fee does not guarantee a spot in their lot, which is pretty frustrating.
