My stay here was pleasant The staff is very matter of fact and no non sense You ask for information and they will provide you with the information when it is available

I only stayed here one night in a double queen room The view was nice I had to shove the door open when coming in but the room was clean and comfy Nothing impressive but all the amenities were accurate and the room was cleaned Breakfast is nothing fancy but I enjoyed the waffles The gym has disinfectant wipes, towels and filtered water If you need something basic and to the point, this is your place

Anthony Johnson

Stayed here for the last two nights and there is a lot to like about this place Beautiful architecture, nice rooms and great location Could have easily given them 4 stars but their front desk personnel had attitudes and in some cases were plain rude

I’m a lifetime Diamond Hilton Honors member and there is a fine line between being a good hotel versus being a great hotel And until the Owners and Management of this hotel require warm customer service this place will always be just a “good” hotel

Barney Moore

Don’t get it twisted, this hotel is not worth your money Clogged drains, cracked sink, cracked toilet, no refrigerator, AC wasn’t working right, very tiny rooms I travel all over the country for work and this was absolutely the smallest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in

Street parking is a pain, not the safest area at night either I found the hotel staff to be kinda rude in general Nothing about this hotel feels historic except maybe the view from the street They serve breakfast on the top floor, so I went up there at 7am and it was 80 degrees in that damn room It’s basically the same terrible breakfast as any other Hampton Inn, but add 10 degrees to the ambient temperature No cold milk or cream at the coffee station, no milk in the fridge, and no fridge in the rooms either Good luck if you stay here I booked 3 nights and dipped out early just to get away from it My best guess is they don’t have the money or staff to properly service the place, but if you’re gonna charge $180/night you better get your act together Beds are so squishy the sheets come popping off Congrats, you’re the worst hotel I’ve been to in 37 nights at Hilton brand hotels in the past few months Now comes the hard part, put some money into this place and make it right Historic shouldn’t mean run-down

One of the most beautiful upscale hotels that I have ever stayed I needed a quiet get away, which was perfect However, the rooftop bar and the restaurant is great for a great time

So has the best of both worlds Dominique was so caring I was thankful for her hospitality All the front desk reps were great, even when i needed something in the middle of the night Valet had a staff issue, the lot is next to the hotel which made it easy for me to just get and park my car Overall it was an amazing experience Thankful I chose to stay there

Izz Noland

Pros: Very nice hotel in downtown Birmingham My wife and I went for a “stay-cation” and definitely worth it with The Yard restaurant on site for dinner and brunch Highly recommend the somewhat eclectic rooms, and nice views!Cons: The only downside is that some of the in room amenities were not 100%

One of the shower heads looked like it would fall off any minute, the shower gel was empty, and housekeeping came by an hour before checkout asking if we had checked out so she could clean We heard her in the hallway knocking on the other doors as well

Brian Wray

The Place is Beautiful and has a very eclectic and high end feel Really Posh But, this is a place where it is Form/Design over function

Valet Staff is Awesome and very helpfulThe Front desk staff (evening and morning both) seemed a little put-out/annoyed by our arrival and questions, but the Valet team was helpfulThis is a place where form trumps functionThe rooms are tiny, halls are tiny (luggage carts barely fit through the halls or in the rooms) luggage carts are rickety and barely holding togetherThe Rooms are beautiful and eclectic (which is why we chose it), but this form has take precedent over function It is not meant for FamiliesThe Toilet Room door and shower doors are opaque green/yellow glass and do not seal, do not have fans, are hot as hell, and full conversations can be had, hands can be held while using both ie: lacks a sense of privacyThe toilet room might as well be called a sauna because it was as hot as onenot a place where you want to start sweating just walking in The listing was weird and again, not meant for function, but rather formForm/decor was nice, but it lacked some much function, It will not be a place we stay at next time we are in townAlso, the bar/restaurant is not open on Sunday, almost the entire downtown area is closed, so definitely do not recommend a Sunday stay in Birmingham Downtown

Our family booked here while traveling for a funeral We have a 7 month baby that absolutely loved jumping (assisted) on the bed We had all the amenities needed to take care of her and easily reset all her bottles

Annette, the breakfast attendant, was absolutely wonderful! We checked in online, so we really didn’t interact with anyone until breakfast She was our Marriott representative and she was phenomenal! My husband raves about how friendly she was… Even after 9:10 when breakfast was supposed to be closed

Sharika Seabrooks

Stayed at this establishment for the weekend to visit my best friend who just moved to Alabama This hotel was cute, modern, stylish, and very up to date The room was stylish, spacious and carried the same modern chic decor throughout the suite

I had a double bed room that included a sofa lounge area and cute desk Room also comes with iron and ironing board and Keurig machine Not much negative to say, customer service could have been a bit more welcoming Overall a good experience

Jessica Lee

The hotel is nice, the area is great, the breakfast is what you’d expect, a bit on the better side, the rooms are comfortable However, if you’re sharing a room with someone who you don’t want to hear all your bathroom noises, or see their/your naked silhouette through the glass bathroom door, or see them naked in the shower because there is a good amount of space with a clear view of said shower where the sliding barn style door gap is

don’t choose this place Stylish yes Functional and discreet, not a chance You hear it ALL, see it ALL, and smell it ALL Otherwise, it’s a nice spot to stay while in the areaSome fast food and shopping all within walking distance Restaurants are very close as wellMy family has stayed there twice now Yes, the extra daughter was embarrassed about the extra Dads bathroom habitsit was a good shocking laugh though We promptly evacuated Definitely part of the family now!

We stayed here because it had pretty good reviews This is clearly going downhill They were noticeable understaffed

As a result our room wasn’t ready when we arrived I could look past this, however the ladies at the front desk were awful They were extremely slow, old, and didn’t acknowledge your presence until they were ready They had no way to communicate with their housekeepers and kept leaving to see if rooms were ready When I returned later in the night to get a towel for the bathroom (they provided 2 and we had 3 people) it took a long time for the ladies at the front to acknowledge me They were busy counting money and didn’t talk until they were done When I opened the towel in the morning it had a giant whole in it Finally, I requested a blanked and pillow for the pullout couch They blanket was fine (thought this should be standard in the room, not by request), however they had no pillows to provide I was told most people just use one from the bed and they were out This pointed to a bigger issue with management not providing the necessary resources This place will clearly be going down hill if no major intervention happens soon The only redeemable piece was the breakfast was pretty adequate The hot food was all over-cooked, but the amount available was good The room also seemed clean

Jonathan Fox

The hotel is great, but the reason I am writing this review has to do with Mrs Rhonda I book this hotel for tons of friends as they are coming into town and Rhonda has always helped me

While I think the hotel over all is great, Mrs Rhonda is what makes this Best Western the “Best” all puns intended Cannot recommend this place enough!

Very nice front desk staff Very helpful and work hard to provide superior customer service Breakfast was fresh and well stocked at all times

Food was very good for a free breakfast offering! The women in charge of the breakfast area was very sweet and asked to clear plates and kept everything filled and clean She was also super nice and answered questions we had about local weather as a winter storm was expected on our drive home to Philadelphia All staff frequently asked us if we needed anything and how our stay was You could tell they really cared and wanted you to have a nice stay at the hotel The rooms were updated and VERY clean Housekeeping was AMAZING! They went above and beyond not just to change sheets and give fresh towels but they tidied up our room as well (putting shoes nicely lined up in closet, wrapping up hair dryer cord etc) Everything was also very clean! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this location!

Mary Ada

Andrea at the front desk was always welcoming with a warm and genuine smile, and would greet us upon each encounter As the face of the hotel, you could have not chosen a better representative than her Kudos to her and her exceptional hospitality!Breakfast each morning was equally as delightful

I did not get the name of our breakfast attendant, but she was also equally as pleasant each morning She asked if she could be of assistance and made sure we had everything we needed Items were restocked quickly and efficiently, and the breakfast area was always tidyWith all of the challenges that the hospitality industry faces in these times, it is a breath of fresh air to encounter a team that takes pride in what they do Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Marqua Collins

If I could leave this review 100 stars I absolutely would!! The entire staff is welcoming, friendly and professional Jasmine, the front desk rep who checked me in was very informative and knowledgeable about the area and the hotel and an all around sweetheart Special thanks to their Housekeeping staff as well!!! My room was so spotless that I COULD’VE eaten off of the floor haha lol

The morning I checked out the breakfast staffed had a full spread prepared, everything was so fresh and delicious This hotel will most certainly be my go-to spot anytime I’m in Birmingham 🙂

I have been employed with Hilton in the past and have enjoyed working dual property Hampton’s in Tuscaloosa, AL for 3 years I applied for the Night Auditor position the last week in Feb and was hired on 02/23/22 (terminated on 04/29/2022)

The Assistant General Manager, Marcus Gordon, called me at 9:00 pm on a Sunday evening to schedule an interview That was the first red flag but I needed employment so I did not make it a huge deal I was employed at this property for 90 days before being wrongfully terminated The General Manager, Karen Jacob, fired me about 30 minutes shy of 3:00pm after working a night audit shift that morning The management team at this property is defective and below par to say the least There is no communication between the team members and management and it shows In the 3 months that I was hired here not 1 of the employees from any department had ANYTHING nice to say about Karen There has been multiple accusations of stealing of money by management and maintenance from numerous staff members I experienced 3 different encounters of theft of my personal items while being employed at this location The GM does not directly deal with confrontation, she doesn’t come out of her office and will literally, deliberately ignore guests concerns and allow her phone to ring with no intentions of answering The management team at this property portrays a facade of concern and compassion for their team members but that is most certainly not the case Marcus, the assistant GM, faithfully gossips about team members and constantly makes jokes about terminating members of the staff I would never in a million years recommend working at this property to my worst enemy If I could leave anything lower than 1 star I would leave the rating in the negative

Belinda Forman

The room was very clean I was disappointed that they didn’t serve a free breakfast and they didn’t offer coffee in the lobby throughout the day The coffee maker in the room did not work but then when I was able to pour water through it it was nasty

It was like dirty and nastyThat was very comfortable The room was very nice I would stay here again anytime

Dawn Swinford

999% of the employees were super friendly and nice Wasn’t too excited about the waitress, but she was they only one, and was quite busy, so I understood and won’t complain

The waffle I ordered was undercooked, but again, I didn’t complain Was disappointed that there was no continental breakfastThere was no hand soap of any kind in our bathroom Wasn’t happy about thatWhen checking out, my husband had a couple minor complaints about not having enough towels or pillows The lady at the desk said that they didn’t realize that there was more than 1 guest in that room, since there was only 1 name on the card Uhm WHAT? Really? When I made the reservation, I specifically said it was for 3 adults and 1 child That’s why I had to pay extra More people Overall, not really happy I expected more from the name Hilton It was ok But still everyone was super nice and friendly and helpful

What a gem! First time at a Valley Hotel, love what Hilton has done w/the brand Valet service was convenient & Rachel H made check-in a breeze Accommodated my high floor request without hesitation & was thrilled with her room choice

Thanks Rachel!Room had floor to ceiling windows, corner view & the bed was very comfortable Still has new hotel smell!The restaurant was very good, breakfast was excellent There’s also loads of dining options right outside (Highly recommend the Little Donkey Mexican just 2-doors down!)If only there was a pool…Highly recommend staying here!

We had one of our nieces’ wedding rehearsal dinner there and many of her future in-laws and friends were staying thereAfter the rehearsal dinner, some of us decided to go down to the lobby on the first floor to sit and talkWe were not particularly being loud or obnoxious or anything

Just sitting at a hotel lounge and having conversations just like hotel guests would do Then the lady at the front desk yelled at us as if we were her students and she’s our teacher, saying that we were being too loud and that we need to quiet down because she can’t hear customers on the phoneWe didn’t say anything the first time and tried to talk little quieter Then, after about 10 minutes, the lady yelled at us again saying that we were being too loud Once again, we were not particularly being loud or obnoxious at all Just having some conversationsI just never had that kind of experience at any hotels anywhere – a front desk clerk telling (yelling at) guests to quiet down at the lobby I mean isn’t that what hotel lobby is for? For guests to sit and have conversations?Then, I tried to talk to her to see what is going on but she would not talk to me by saying that she’s too busy talking to her customers on the phoneI tried to politely ask her who’s the manager on duty is but she would not give me his/her name or the contact information – I guess I can look it up myselfBy then, we all decided that it’s not worth it and just went up to our roomsI asked her name but she kept on waving her finger while she’s talking to someone on the phone and walking away from me She was hiding her name tag with her arm so I couldn’t see her name eitherIt’s probably one of the most unpleasant experiences we’ve ever had staying at a hotelI actually don’t want to give any stars at allThe management needs to train the employees better Where is the customer service We were not there to serve them It’s the other way aroundDo not stay at this hotel

Richard M

Had dinner at the restaurant off the lobby called Ironwood kitchen Food was just ok, nothing special but the cost was extremely high for the meal Three of us with no alcohol, ran $200

00 The service was adequate Save your money as there are so many better restaurants for dinner in the area Stop there at the bar for drinks as that did look inviting

The people were very friendly I really liked the front desk staff However, housekeeping never came once when I was there all week, not even to empty the trash cans or give fresh towels

The gym was a joke, half the dumbbells were missing, there were zero mats, etc The room was just ok It’s my understanding there is renovation going on, so some of these issues may be resolved in the future, but if they are under renovation, they should have discounted their rates to reflect that

Robert Deguzman

My mini fridge didn’t work,had no cable in my room,and yes I brought it up to the front desk clerk, maintenance will take care of that as soon as they get in, guess what after spending a whole day training with my company and then we all went out to dinner pretty much didn’t get back to the hotel till about 10:00 maybe close to 11:00 and guess what everybody everything was still broke and my room wasn’t even made the towels that I used for the floor after taking a shower we’re still there The three stars I gave was because it is generally and nice looking hotel but when it comes to issues with hotel guests I do believe they should be a priority because a happy guess as a returning guest am I right I think I amOh and just in case the room that nobody came to fix is 232 but don’t take my word for it come experience it for yourself

Anna May

I will never stay at Aloft in Soho Square ever again My family used them for a hotel block for my wedding this past weekend The service was AWFUL!!! We did not receive the correct rooms we paid for, Kelsey (with marketing and heads up all communication) never returned a single phone call or email regarding booking the conference room space, the bartender did not even know how to make a vodka tonic, and if you speak with Shannon at the front desk she will probably make you cry with her impolite attitude, her eye rolls, and sassy remarks

I wouldn’t want anyone to experience the horrible service we received on the most exciting/special weekends of our lives

Esdy Wall

Overall, I had a great stay at this hotel The location is great – near lots of restaurant and bars (you can just walk) My room was very spacious, nice and comfortable; and had everything I needed

I was happy to have a kitchenette that included a full fridge Even the common areas were very nice and cleanThe only reason I didn’t give this hotel 5 stars is because the breakfast fell short It just wasn’t that good to me Perhaps, other guests feel differently In the same breath, you’re so close to everything that you can just walk to a breakfast destination I would definitely stay at this Homewood location again

Bathsheba Johnson

I’ve stayed here twice, the rooms are absolutely beautiful and the staff is the friendliest I have ever had! However, the room I had last night needed more cleaning The shower wasn’t very clean in the corners and there were smears on the wall near the bed that I’m going to call chocolate The couch had some stains also that I forgot to photograph

Regardless, I enjoyed my stay and will stay again

Kristine Hansen-Dederick

The hotel itself is nice, but expect zero customer service Only folks I ran into seemed pretty lazy and bored Didn’t seem like too bad of a job, so not sure what the problem is there

Location is great and the rooms are spacious and quiet I can’t get past the bad attitudes though and probably would not stay there again It’s too pricey for that BS

When checking in I was asked to initial and sign the agreement about a $20 incidentals hold on my credit card, smoke free mandate, etc I asked for a copy of the agreement, since I was required to sign it, and was told that I could not have a copy of it by the employee and manager I explained that I wanted a copy because it contained my signature on the agreement and the manager politely did ask me to wait a minute while she consulted with the General Manager (GM) who was there

The GM approved for the manager to make me a copy I offered to pay for the copy, but was told it was not needed Otherwise, the hotel appears to be newly built, is located near convenience stores, pharmacy and grocery store It also has a pleasant smell

I stayed here with my husband and three small children overnight, while in the area for a dance competition The hotel is located next to a Walmart and among many other businesses, but is also located upwards of a hill so there is a nice hidden feel!The room was clean and had a nice scent when we first walked in The room also had a very cute reading nook by the window, which had a beautiful view of wooded areas

Staff was pleasant, and very friendly Breakfast had an abundance and large variety of food Overall, it was a wonderful experience

Holly Hughes

$250 deposit We were not told of it at our time of reservation The rooms are clean, with just a few stains on the window seat

The gentleman at the counter was professionalThe pool is small, but still awesomeThe pillows are flatThere is a scratch about knee high on the conjoining door, not a problem just recording itUpdate:I was only aggravated that I wasn’t told of the deposit before i showed up so I could figure it into my trip budgetI had no idea you have had human trafficking at your hotel!I’m changing my star rating from the 4 to a 1 That’s terrifying!!I imagine a human trafficker could pay the deposit easier than me, though I’m just a fast food worker

Nelda Lopez

The older women at the desk was horribly insensitive I had called to reserve a downstairs room due to a disability but when I checked I was told one wasn’t available When I asked her why not she said that a 100 people before me asked for one and it was first come first serve

However, I saw people checking in after me who were afforded down stairs rooms She then proceeded to tell me in an insensitive manner that I could find another hotel if I wanted to Excuse me? What kind of customer service is that? In other words take it or leave it Well not to worry, I will leave it next timeIn addition, they wouldn’t let me check in early nor was the room ready at 3:30 The elevator was out of order, ice machine on the floor was out of order and the phone in our room had no dial tone (we couldn’t contact the front desk if we wanted to) The only decent thing here was housekeeping, they were very apologetic about not having the room clean on time and helpful in providing other assistance

Truly a special and unique place! As a return guest, we are just as awestruck at the loving attention to detail as the first visit We have lived all over the world and found Hassinger Daniel’s mansion one of the most unique places we’ve found Sheila has curated a gorgeous mansion filled with exquisite antiques filling every room each telling a different story! We loved the Southern Belle room filled with beautiful antique gowns -see if you can find the hidden wedding gown

Truly a memorable experience sleeping in a living antique filled mansion And Shelia’s gracious hospitality is not to be missed at a lovely morning Breakfast family style together We will be back again!

Chase Stiles

Let’s start with some of the negatives I’ve read in the review section… I would personally say that most of those people that complained did not pay attention to the style of bed & breakfast this is when they booked or they just like tarnishing a locally owned business’ reputationThat may sound harsh but Sheila works very hard (you can clearly tell) to ensure that people there feel welcome and comfortable She can tell you so much history about the building, surrounding area and even the city

She is very sweet and accommodating No this is not like a Holiday Inn No this is not like an air b&b or even a regular b&b That’s what makes it a fun and unique experienceThe room was great just don’t expect every commodity a hotel room would have That is the exact reason you chose this place though right? That’s what makes it great It was unlike any other stay I’ve experienced The place as a whole is very secure and I felt very safe during our stay and coming and leaving the mansion The interior was also very refreshing and visually pleasing each time we returned from our adventures (dinner, concert, bar etc)The location is also centrally located in Birmingham and pretty convenient Plenty of restaurants and shops are walkable but our particular agenda had us driving 5-10 minutes each time which was still very convenient Parking is slightly tight in the available parking but I don’t think that it’s unreasonable Again, this is a very unique property There’s not a giant hotel parking lot waiting for you hereOverall, I find it hard to write anything negative here because I am happy to see a hard working person such as Sheila do so well at something so special; restoring and preserving a mansion ALONE (her & her husband started this project together but he has since passed) and doing a damn great job on top of that We loved our stay and will definitely return if we find ourselves in Birmingham againTHANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU OFFER SHEILA!-you deserve a 50 rating on google not a 43-don’t listen to the people who just need something to complain about guys, this place is a cool & fun stay-it will not have the same setup as a typical hotel but is in my personal opinion just as comfortable and more enjoyable

Such a beautiful place to stay! I stayed in the Peacock room last night and it was lovely The bed and sheets were so comfortable! The breakfast was DELICIOUS! This was my first time ever at a B&B and I loved every moment of it The wifi was very fast and easily accessible as well

I highly recommend a stay! Next time I need a break from home I’ll be checking in again 🙂

I had a wonderful one night stay at the Redmont All of the staff from valet, to front desk, to restaurant staff, were very friendly and helpful This it a downtown hotel and great for business travelers or a weekend getaway

There is a rooftop bar that is supposed to be amazing However it was closed due to the weather and short staffing I had drinks and appetizers in the restaurant Both were very good The room was not large but had a desk and king size bed which was very comfortable The Redmont is on the National Register of Historic Places It is also listed as the most haunted hotel in Alabama I did not see any ghosts Maybe next time…………

We didn’t stay here but we will! We’re from Bhm and next time we want a downtown evening, this will be the place Hotel is nice (Hilton Curio) with a long history but the staff was the best! We went (small group 10 +) stopped by roof top bar for a drink Staff opened doors, helped us figure out elevators (only 1 goes to penthouse/ bar) and served drinks

We travel often but think we’ve found a gem right here with service & pleasantness leading the way (how rare!)

Dana Aderhold

The staff at check in was less than helpful The staff at checkout was helpful though Room was dirty

$35 to valet was ridiculous when they are just moving the car to a public parking lot across the street that I could have parked in myself for 1/2 the price Hotel smelled old and musty Homeless people harassing me outside of the hotel I didn’t feel safe and will never be back

Like most of the reviews I read before staying here, I have to say that the best thing about this hotel is the staff They were very welcoming and helped me find a spot for my motorcycle trailer – very accommodating Unfortunately, the rest of the hotel was far less appealing

The rooms are dirty The desk chair and couch had stains all over them The sheets and pillows were clean The bathroom had a broken toilet seat that moved all around when opening/closing The floor by the entry was sticky for some reason The coffee maker in the room did not look like it had been wiped down at all, spots and hard water streaks I ran it a few times through with hot water before using it The bathtub was a little dingy in the cornersI didn’t use it The remote control was not cleaned or marked as “disinfected” or in a bag – hard to believe in the times of COVID The breakfast the next morning was good, if basic, and the buffet style set-up was organized and clean If I had to stay in Birmingham again, it would not be at this hotel Not enough value, comfort or cleanliness The Summit area has new, better hotels that I would look into

Misti Ramey

This is the place to stay It’s not too far off the highway but you can’t hear any road noise The staff were all very nice

The place looks well kept The beds were clean and very comfortable The room was average size but the high ceilings made it feel bigger There’s a mini fridge and microwave along with a hair dryer in the room The AC worked well There was very little noise from the hallways The breakfast is a real meal not some muffin and an apple thing I travel often for work and will stay here again I love that they don’t want to charge me $100+ for a port either

Ginger Given

Front desk guy was super friendly 😊 And the room was huge! I am handicapped (use a cane) so the size of the room plus grab bars by the toilet and in the shower are very helpful! Also had a shower seatThe only drawback was the low water pressure in the sink and the bathroom tile was a bit stickyWe enjoyed our stay here! There was a BBQ restaurant very close as well

Saw’s Juke Jointvery tasty!

The biggest thing to know is no onsite parking without using their valet service We opted for free street parking and just had to walk which was only inconvenient when bringing our things to the hotel

The hotel itself is staffed with really nice folks The bartender was charismatic and we greatly enjoyed talking to him while enjoying drinks The room itself was very cozy and clean and we over all loved the stay I can’t give 5 stars because there’s not a mini fridge or a microwave in the room That made eating and storing left overs and stuff impossible I would give it 5 stars if those things were added though Perfectly located downtown we walked to a lot of great places with ease

Erin Zulfer

I stayed for 2 weeks for work and I met I think almost everyone at the desk and valet services outside, couldn’t ask for a better group of people Lee, and Harley(I believe his name was) were outside most of time when I was in and out of the hotel, super nice and were able to tell me about the parking situation besides the valet Quentin was behind the bar and was able to recommend tons of cool things to do and makes absolutely incredible cocktails

It did not originally have a mini fridge in the room but I asked the front desk and they were able to send one Cleaning staff was great as wel, thank you so much

Ashley Smith

Very disappointed in my first stay at Kelly Front desk staff were eating food at the desk when I stopped by, had no change for the valet and in general appeared apathetic to guests I had a king room that smelled like mildew

Additionally the nightstand and desk had a liquid on it that I had to wipe off with a towel The linens felt like they had not been washed and gross! And lastly – $35 A DAY for valet – are they high? You don’t pay this in New York City This bones of hotel are stunning yet they need to fix a few basics in cleanliness, customer service and hotel guest basics

Clean and update rooms Staff is extremely friendly and kept asking if everything was to my satisfaction This was both at night during checkin and in the morning during checkout

A pleasure to deal with and would happily stay here again Would never stay down the street at the 2 Hilton brand hotels that was the worst experience of my life and only made better by how sweet and nice the staff here was Hotel was honestly cleaner and nicer as well

Joshua Johanning

It’s “okay” But I wouldn’t recommend the hotel as a Platinum/Titanium if you want hotel breakfast (or anyone else who might want to pay for it)The room was fine along with the internet

I thought my room felt a little damp with the wall AC not working as well, but it was livableMy two biggest complaints:- no breakfast first 2 days of my stay because the person hadn’t arrived – instead of using my $10 for a heated up breakfast sandwich I had to spend it on snacks I didn’t need- billed for breakfast when breakfast was open even though I had my $10 daily creditFollow-ups on requested items didn’t happen It’s okay, but perhaps try elsewhere

tom kandler

Completely dissatisfied My room was overpriced and dirty Hotels are saying they don’t do daily cleaning because it is taking longer when guests check out to ‘completely clean’ the rooms

Weren’t they doing that prior to COVID? They are also using the same excuse for not having complimentary coffee in the lobby, but they have put in mini coffee shops that you have to pay for I’ve learned my lesson and will look on AirBnB next time
