The staff here was the friendliest that I have encountered in Birmingham. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The hotel was fantastic all round, but I really dont have enough good things to say about the staff, especially Dakitia who went out of her way to accommodate me. She exemplifies southern hospitality, thank you again, Dakitia!
One of the best experiences that I’ve had with a hotel, they let us check in early after I had surgery. It was extremely modern clean and professional people were so gracious and nice even at the breakfast morning before we left. If I can give them 20 stars I would your front office Staff the gentleman working the breakfast the cleanliness everything was top-notch thank you so much and if I go to Birmingham, you’re my first choice. ! What a wonderful crew you have.
