Top University of Alabama at Birmingham Hotel Reviews

The Painted Lady

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed here several times and I think it's amazing. The whole vibe is chill and all the rooms are comfortable and chill."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Birmingham Downtown Near UAB

10/10 Excellent

"nice staff, clean room. Just did not have water in the room. I am not sure if they provide but I did not ask. Everything else were perfect"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Birmingham Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room itself was fine, but the sleep setup needs some work. The three pillows on my bed might as well have been folded-up sheets stuffed inside pillowcases — absolutely no support. They really need to be replaced. The blackout curtain is a good idea, especially with a bright streetlight directly outside the window, but the room layout makes it difficult. Unless the curtain is completely closed, that streetlight shines directly at eye level from the bed. Even a couple strips of dark window tint along the bottom portion of the window would probably solve the problem without having to redesign the room. A bottom-up blackout shade, lowering the bed, or rearranging the room could also work. For a hotel, comfortable pillows and the ability to actually make the room dark enough to sleep should be pretty basic."

Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great at the hotel, except when we walked in the thermostat was off of the wall with no ac on at all. We were able to put the thermostat back on ourselves and get the ac on, but there was a mess around it. It looked like they were patching the wall and left in the middle of the job. Other than that, everything was great."

The Kelly Birmingham, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

8/10 Good

"What stands out most for me was the modern fixtures and the room was comfortable. The bad experience for me was the difficulties I had with trying to find a parking, there is only valet parking or street parking. But overall it was good. Please train the bartender about her job to help a customer who might having challenges choosing a drink"
