Top hotels in Avondale
Days Inn by Wyndham Hoover Birmingham
Everyone was friendly. The property was quiet and clean. Breakfast was basic, but still definitely a perk. Close to many stores and interstate access.

Hyatt Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel
Bug in shower. Dirty baseboards. Bed is hard as a rock. No conditioner in shower. Only one washcloth for 3 people. Broken coffee maker. All remedies in about 15 minutes but aggravating none the less. Landline phone did not work so that is a safety issue in a hotel. Would not stay here again.
