Hyatt Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel
Walked into our room and rat poop was on the bathroom counter. The towels were folded neatly but I was afraid to use them. No bath soap. I don't think it had been mopped. Beds were so bad my husband couldn't stand up this morning. I will never stay here again.

I had called and arranged for the two rooms to be beside each other. That was never noted and we ended up with one room on 1st and one on 3rd.

The front desk staff was exceptional, staff was kind, location is great, definitely need a upgrade in the rooms, and need more amenities, more food offerings, but good overall
