Top hotels in Forest Park
Days Inn by Wyndham Hoover Birmingham
They had really good coffee which most hotels do not. Breakfast was just ok, the only thing to drink was coffee, milk and water. Cereal offering not very good. The 2nd morning I just had coffee and a banana. It was fine for a continental breakfast.
