Top Birmingham Zoo Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood

6/10 Okay

"They never cleaned our room but once during a five night stay, not even emptying trash cans or replacing towels or sheets and never vacuumed but one time. It also was very noisy!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Birmingham Downtown Near UAB

6/10 Okay

"My suite was nice and clean. Very spacious. The AC unit in the bedroom was very loud. You could feel the vibration of the unit. I was up and down all night turning off and on. I would get hot and have to turn it on. The noise/vibration would keep me awake so I had to get up and turn it back off. Middle of night so I did not call maintenance since most likely no one would be available. I did not want to pack my stuff up and move to another room. Had I been staying more than one night, I most definitely would have contacted front desk. So I cannot give a review on that. The only other issue was lighting. They are very dim. I had to stand under the overhead light in bathroom with my compact mirror to put on makeup. Flashlights would have been better than the dim lighting in the bathroom and the overhead light was in front of the commode. The sofa was not an option to move to instead of the bedroom as it was only comfortable enough for sitting short periods of time. Breakfast was typical hotel free breakfast. Tables were wobbly. Area was clean. Elevator not working so had to carry luggage up 4 flights to second floor. They could do a lot better for a Hilton."

Residence Inn by Marriott Homewood Mountain Brook

6/10 Okay

"This hotel was a disappointment. We chose it for the location and while the location was as we expected we could only exit the hotel by going one direction on highway 280 so we often had to exit the highway and go under it to get going the right direction. My main gripe with the service was housekeeping or lack thereof. We were told that housekeeping only came every three days but if we needed towels or garbage taken out to ask at the desk. That seemed kind of cheap but what are you going to do at this point. On our third day (of a four day stay) we were supposed to get housekeeping. After being out most of the day and returning after 2pm we had had no housekeeping. When we asked at the desk first we were told we wouldn't get housekeeping until the next day (our checkout day) and then when she checked she said that we would. I asked her if we could go ahead and have our room cleaned in the next hour or so while we went to the pool. Her response stunned me as she said that they went in order by the rooms starting at one end of the hall and wouldn't go out of order. So if you like to have your room cleaned and to get fresh towels don't stay here. The hotel seems new but there were things that weren't well thought out, like the location of the pool. By afternoon it was entirely in shade. The shower was a bit strange and the bathroom fixtures were cheap. Breakfast was good but the orange juice machine was broken. For the money in Birmingham, I wouldn't stay here again."

The Kelly Birmingham, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

6/10 Okay

"The Valet was extremely nice and so were the front desk staff. The rooms are very dated for this price point. There is no mini fridge, microwave and no ice machines on the floors. The bartenders were nice, but the breakfast was expensive and lackluster compared to what’s offered at other hotels. The dining area was empty and I think the teenagers who checked us in also made our food. Staff 5/5 location 5/5 amenities 1/5"

Embassy Suites Hotel Birmingham

4/10 Poor

"I expected a lot more for the price. There was a blood stained wash cloth hanging on the shower rod in my bathroom and used gloves on the elevator floor for at least 24 hrs. I realized this the next morning so I unwittingly slept very well, what can I say? The bed was comfortable."
