Days Inn by Wyndham Hoover Birmingham
Room was clean & functional. Front desk staff was friendly; check in was fast & easy. This property is dated a bit. Some upgrades have been done. Room had a slight musty smell that a squirt or two of air freshener could have helped. Breakfast was very basic; fresh waffles and cereal.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Hoover
The floors in the bathroom and room were not clean. It looked like it was mopped with a dirty mop, or dirty water. Entry A, needs to be cleaned and could use a power washing.

The beds were comfortable but the floors in our room were not clean at all. They felt sticky and left our feet very dirty.

It had nice amenities ( like Ruth’s Chris Restaurant and valet parking) but cleanliness was sub par ( floors were dirty, elevator inside panels chipped and stained, MOLD in shower). The staff was friendly and helpful.
