Top Glen Iris Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Birmingham Homewood

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Breakfast (eggs were cold and pancakes were like rocks)"

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."

Hyatt Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice and clean. There was distinct odor of marijuana on the 5th floor where we stayed. Mix that with the cleaning products and it was quite the olfactory experience. The pool was also under maintenance the ENTIRE time we were there with no warning. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had hoped to enjoy the pool. Nope. Had there been any notice or posting of that, I would have stayed elsewhere. I would probably choose another hotel for the next visit due to the odors. I have asthma and allergies and it just isn’t worth it to be breathing that crap all the time."

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"

Home2 Suites By Hilton Hoover Birmingham

10/10 Excellent

"I’m picky, and this hotel was a very good experience!! The room was huge and things were pretty clean and in good shape. Staff was helpful and Stella was especially kind and friendly! Would definitely stay again! The location is also excellent, close to so many stores and about 15 minutes from my daughter at Samford. Really good experience and the price was good, too."

Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Grandview

10/10 Excellent

"Nice facilities and warm staff. The breakfast and light dinner were sufficient for full meals for both me and my 8 year old. Loved the indoor/ outdoor pool and overall a nice atmosphere. Conveniently located to many attractions, a short drive from downtown Birmingham and world class shopping close by. Would definitely stay here again."
