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

Belle Paniagua-Novak

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 🙂

Rooms were very clean and smelled good I love the wall thermostat so I can set the temperature in the room Maid service was great but the front desk could be more organized

Great breakfast; sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy, cold items, muffins, and the best cinnamon rolls EVER! The pancake machine was out of order and the coffee had grounds in every cup They really need to teach the kitchen staff how to make coffee They have nice places to sit outside and outdoor pool, handicap accessible It would be nice if the elevator buttons were wiped down ever so often Other than that we had a good stay

Shanta Singleton

I checked in a little late,but received a friendly attitude and a smile from the gentleman on dutyAfter such a long day it was a nice thing to seeThe rooms were nicely appointed, and the hotel was very clean

It seemed like a nice areaThere is a Dunkin Donuts ,and 2 gas stations within walking distanceThe only small Con was the breakfastIt was just okay I wish there were more optionsThey had sausage,small omelets, eggs,biscuits and gravy,and you could make pancakes if you would like for Hot optionsOverall,I was very happy with my one night stay,and would stay again if in the area

We loved the hotel so much, we stayed here again on our drive back home We were traveling from the Midwest to the East Coast and had planned on stopping in a smaller town, but their outdoor pools didn’t open until Labor Day and we had promised our kids they could swim when we reached the hotel So I researched some hotels in Birmingham and one of the reviews suggested going to The Summit area

We are so thankful for that review! This hotel was extremely clean, the staff was excellent, the pool was clean and the beds and linens were so comfortable The young man that worked the front desk (he appeared to be in his 20s; has a birthday coming up or recently celebrated it) was friendly, helpful, and made us feel completely welcome and at home We were going to try to drive farther down the road on our return trip home, but we felt like we didn’t want to try to find another hotel as good as this one, so we stayed here again and were so thankful It was a good price, too And great location! We enjoyed the nearby restaurants (We recommend Mooyah for burgers, Seasons52 for a special occasion, and Big Spoon Creamery for a delicious treat!) We left before breakfast both times, so we can’t attest to that But we also used the water bottle station in the workout room and noticed they have complimentary headphones for your workout if you forgot yours- super cool Also, the shampoo, soap and conditioner are fancier than we typically use- definitely a treat 😉

Anna Greenhill

I am very picky about hotels, especially now that a lot of them are unfortunately short staffed This hotel was very clean, the customer service was great, and all of the guests seemed happy Our room was very clean and stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash

The complimentary breakfast was good as well 10/10 would recommend and/or book again

Jared Stump

One of the nicest Fairfield properties I’ve stayed at! Brand new and everything is top notch I stayed in a king suite, which was very spacious The furniture was beautiful and it felt like I was in someone’s home, not a hotel

The hotel gym was also very spacious and the equipment was nice and new I would go out of my way to stay here again

We arrived fairly late on a Saturday night 8/6/22 Traveling with friends they made the reservation for us and we just paid it on our card once we arrived Hotel is nice and staff at front desk seemed nice

Our room was not very clean and there was pink mold on the bathtub which made me realize it had not been cleaned or sterilized I took pictures and showed the lady at the front desk and she said she would alert the housekeeping staff (it was never cleaned while we were there) the next morning I wanted a strong coffee so I went to Starbucks which is next door and decided to get gas while I was out so that I would be ready to hit the road after breakfast I went to eat at 9:20am with breakfast ending at 10am there was no eggs, no grits, and other items were gone I asked the lady who was working the breakfast area and she stated I am sorry but it is first come first served and it is until we run out I informed her that breakfast is stated to end at 10am and it is just 9:20am and I am a paying guest just like everyone else and I should be able to eat what is offered to others It does not take much to cook grits or eggs She refused to do so and said I am sorry I am not cooking anymore We do not want there to be waste there were at least 4 other guests who came down and had the same experience I told the front desk of my experience with the pink mold, and the breakfast and I asked for a manager to call me back I did not hear anything so I called and left a message again on 8/11/22 As of 8/23/22 I still have not heard from any manager concerning my issues I assume at this point that they do not care I blog about vacations and I constantly post and download information about great places to stay on specific routes of travel I decided to wait to post a review until I knew how management was going to respond, but since they didn’t I decided to let people know this hotel is NOT a place I would stay again

Cara I Doyle

Background for context: I have been a Hilton Honors member for 21 years and consistently stay at Hampton Inn hotels This review is specifically for the Hampton Inn & Suites Birmingham-Hoover-GalleriaFrom the exterior, this hotel looks new and nice

Customer service is fine I was greeted by the front desk staff with a smile I did not receive any acknowledgement or free water for HH status, but I was tired and it was late, so I didn’t pushI’ve organized my feedback by roomFirst Room – Room 512- Large roach – did not stay long enough to inspect the room, immediately left and asked for another room But where there is one roach there is typically moreSecond Room – Room 410- Ant traps in the bathroom – a FIRST, I’ve never seen bug traps in a Hampton Inn- The thermostat did not work The AC never turned off and was going full blast,luckily I love a cold room and packed layers- There was hair on the bathroom floor (not mine)- The tub drain was clogged, so I stood in a few inches of water during the shower ​- Pink mold in the corners of the bathtubI stayed for 2 nights and was out of the room during the day until late There was no one at the front desk when I arrived at night and departed to leave any feedback I honestly was too nervous to get another room for fear it was going to be even worseAll in all I would NOT recommend this hotel 100% satisfaction is NOT guaranteed if you decide to stay here I will be visiting the area for work again and will not be staying here I’ve also notified my company of the state of this hotel, so others will not book a stay

Andy L.

The pool area was nasty and filthy The pool was really cloudy, and the whole area smelled awful Lots of trash on the floor

The hot tub was also underfilled by about 10 inches – a pretty clear indicator that it hasn’t been serviced in a long time When you turn on the jets, it just sprayed water everywhere because the water level was just at or below the jet level Normally I wouldn’t care so much, but I spent $310 for one night and had small kids who wanted to enjoy the pool area I wouldn’t let them go in the pool because it didn’t look clean or safe

Very friendly and welcoming staff Hotel is in very good area for food and dining options The only problem is accessing this site during afternoon/evening rush hour traffic

Room was clean and everything worked Linens were clean and plentiful Very comfortable and quiet, I was surprised due to the fact when I checked out at 03:00 the parking lot was packedThe only thing I have an issue about is that my Choice Privileges account isn’t showing up Hopefully it will and I would gladly return to this hotel

Monica Cumberbatch

Very nice experience Claudia (Claudine?) at front desk was very pleasant The beds were very comfortable and I had a great night’s rest being tired traveling through many states

I got to the coffee station just as they were taking down breakfast and the lady was so kind to help me get my to go breakfast before she started Many other places I’ve stayed I’ve experienced much impatience and a lack of acknowledgement The room(s) could do with an upgrade but overall Great job Comfort Inn!

Harrison Slusser

If I had to describe my stay at this hotel as fair I stayed here with my local church for Motion It was not among the worst of the worst of hotel stays that I have been on

After waiting for our room, which is understandable due to the difficulty of acquiring workers in today’s economy, my leader and roommate found that the room was clean It had a microwave and a minifridge which is a nice amenity However, I do have some complaints The stained sheets, smoke smell, damp room, and occasional cockroaches in the tub were all things that I might be able to overlook My main issue, that was also shared with the rest of the group, was with the employee who prepared and served the breakfast They did not act professionally in their workplace I personally caught a lot of flack for the breakfast rush that she apparently encountered on the previous day Me and my leader came down for breakfast and they asked me if there was anyone behind me I struggle with hearing people sometimes and when they spoke to me I did not hear them so I said, “Sorry, I did not hear you” Their reply was to look at the employee next to them and exclaimed, “See, that’s just how these kids are! Disrespectful and rude” They later stormed off to the breakfast prep room when met with two more tables and slammed the door behind them I’m not sure what provoked them this morning but I hope that it is only her experience from yesterday that she is still bitter about I do hope it is that rather than anything else that might actually be worth slamming a door on some kids who wanted some breakfast before they headed out for the dayAll in all, these are the only issues I had and I was able to get some rest in between the two nights I spent at the Motion convention I wish you a great rest of your day, and I pray that that employee is given some peace and patience

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!

Staff was great The kitchen counter in my room had been previously-broken and a repair attempted, which the staff was aware of, but it was still relatively dangerous I suggested that a sticky note at the repair site would prevent someone from cutting themselves on the sharp break

Other than that, the room was fine The shower was fine Everything was fine with the exception of the parking spaces, which might be OK for cars, but Way too small for working trucks and vans If you drive a Dually, you’re going to take up two spaces even if you are considerate Worse, there were several “hoopty” trucks intentionally parked across multiple spots, further reducing the number of available parking spaces Quite a few trucks were actually parked out on the street That situation alone will make me stay elsewhere despite the friendly staff and having liked the property in general, both of which are a big reason for repeat business If not for the parking, I would have given it a 4 If not for the dangerous kitchen counter, I would have rated it 5 stars

Ryan Wilson

Let me start with the positive The room was clean, comfy, etc And when staff was at the front desk they were great

There were two issues with this hotel One I think can be fixed fairly easily and the other would be more difficult First, I came down to the front desk several times in my two weeks stay at different times throughout the afternoon and into the night The front desk was often unattended Two times during my stay come to mind the most First a co-worker arrived super late, like 3am Nobody was at the desk and he called me I came down to get him in the front door and we waited 15 minutes or so before the representative showed up The next most annoying time around 745pm, my card to get in my room wasn’t working I waited down by the desk for about 15 minutes again – this time with someone else attempting to check in There were plenty of other times but those were the two most annoying I understand assigning multiple tasks so the employee isn’t sitting idle, but ignoring the phone and not being able to do basic tasks like check people in or assist existing patrons is a problem at this location While I give the cleaning crew an A, I’d say management needs better processes for the front desk to ensure customer satisfaction I very likely will choose a different hotel for my next extended stay in the Birmingham area

Kevin Rene

Front desk staff is friendly, rooms are dated but extremely clean, which is refreshing when staying at an older hotel that hasn’t been remodeled Rooms are equipped with energy saving tech so make sure to read up on that, info is provided at check in Room has two burners, dishwasher, microwave, full fridge, and garbage disposal

Clean and soft linens in bath and on beds!Gym is large and clean with every piece of equipment you could want, laundry room has free washer and dryers (4 of each), small indoor market in lobby, as well as business are with computer and printer, they do not offer breakfast, which is fine since you can conveniently cook your own or pick something up in the well stocked on site market by the lobby or at the neighboring Dunkin Donuts There is also an outdoor covered gazebo with seating, tables, and two grills Parking lot is L shaped around building and somewhat limited if hotel is fullOnly complaint is that the toilet seat was cracked when we arrived and it kept pinching our arses 🤣 Just not something we wanted to address during our visit!If you order food or anything online, make sure to let your driver know Candlewood, because Holiday Inn is next door and our driver apparently couldn’t read and delivered our food over there! 😧

Chelsea Rand

Let me start by saying this was my first time staying at a place like this! When I pulled up I thought it was an apartment complex not a “hotel” per say! But it was nice and perfect for a family trip The staff that we came in contact with our first night there for check in were AMAZING I can’t remember her name but she just started recently! She was bubbly and very sweet and made me excited to get a room there But the staff the next day not so much! Our shower was TERRIBLE! The shower head was broken all the way off and the water shot out with very high pressure and it was crooked!! It was pretty rough and when I brought it up at the desk I was told by the change of staff that all they could do was tell maintenance about it

That was the sour part of the trip! Besides that everything else was fine

Tiffany Manes

The room was not cleaned from the people before us Trash in the trash can, skid marks in the toilet, and beds not made up We showed up with 4 tired kids I made up the beds myself and just dealt with it for the night

Too tired to make a fuss, but I had to write a review to warn others Also the locks on the door were broken The deadbolt didn’t work and the top bar lock was broken off, so we slept with a chair under the doorknob and the couch pushed up against it We got the 2 bedroom suite for $100 The beds were very comfortable The front desk was very nice when we checked in There is no breakfast though so don’t count on that

Tokyo Blues Man

Booked a room for my boss that came from Japan on my credit card Then, when I checked him in, my boss presented his credit card and told the clerk to charge his credit card and not mineWell, what do you know! They charged his room on both of our credit cards – they double charged us!I called and requested them to reimburse/credit my card and the same clerk said “no problem”

A month later, it was never credited So, I called again and they gave me a run-around So, I had to call the head office And they gave me a run-around, too So, I had to deal with my credit card company, and by then, they told me it was too late to do anything about itI used to refer this hotel to all of the people visiting from Japan but NO MORE I will NOT use this hotel ever again!

Based on previous experience (2 years ago under another brand) I did not get what I was expecting The exterior of the property looks welcoming but the rooms are a nightmare The rooms are dark, gloomy, and smelly

In 9 days on property there was only 1 good housekeeping experience Some of the team members are AMAZING, very cordial and personable but others are the exact opposite The locatiin is central and makes it easy to get around This is definitely not the same hotel it was a couple of years ago

Patricia Dickinson

Stayed at Sonesta on Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022 I love the location of this hotel, it was within the area of our visit to Birmingham It was quiet, security was provided, as well as extra security locks on the room doors

Our room was very comfortable, very clean and smelled nice, even though the furnishings were a bit outdated The bed was comfortable and we had extra pillows that we requested online Candy, who was on the front desk when we checked in was exceptional She is engaging, knowlegeable of her job, and very professional She made our stay nice right from the start even before we entered our roomAnd, lets not leave out Whitney, who checked us out the next morning She was also engaging and professional as well This hotel was a surprise to us, we hadn’t heard of the brand but took a chance It is located in a quiet area right off Interstate I-65 with plenty of places to eat There is even a Walmart in the area (which is a plus for me) I will definitely stay at Sonesta Homewood in the future when I am in the areaPS Thanks Candy for your help when I called late night on May 11 And, she even greeted me by name over the phone before I even began to tell her why I called or who I was Even with Caller-ID, I probably would not have remembered the name of a previous guest Like I said, personality Plus and attention to detail!!

We had a room reserved and had pre-paid for today 7-27-22 They called at 2 pm today to tell us they are canceling our room as they were overbooked for the room type Didn’t offer to change room typed as we had a 2 bedroom suite

Had a unrefundable room if we canceled but they didn’t offer any comp from their canceling Had to get our agent to get our funds back as they said they wouldn’t issue the refund Very sad to start our trip this wayOnline an hour later the room was back on for more than double what we were charged We did not book here again and went to another hotelI don’t know how to reply to your response But it was your hotel and we were not able to stay there It blew our trip expense out of the water if we were to rebook at your location Your whole system has not been a help at all

This is a very nice hotel I travel all over the country for work, so I’m constantly in different hotels, and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve been in The rooms are very nice, comfortable, and kept very clean

The whole hotel is very nice and clean The staff are superbly kind and helpful, and will go out of their way to accommodate you The free breakfasts and dinners are great too It’s not fine dining, but it’s free and tasty, what more could you want? And the complimentary 3 drinks a night is a very nice touch, I always enjoyed myself at dinner

While the rooms could use updating (replace chairs, & carpeting) the rooms, beds, and bathroom was spotless The beds were very comfortable I was so thankful to have a very clean room The shower has a wall hanging pump for body wash, shampoo and soap which was nice as well as a blow dryer Mini fridge and microwave inside the dresser furniture piece A good hot breakfast & dinner buffet, 3 alcoholic beverages included during the dinner, & there’s fountain sodas I don’t drink but they were so nice to make us virgin margaritas and it doesn’t count against your 3 drinks card Pop corn wasn’t good and didn’t have any butter or flavor, would be great if they could get some buttery popcorn for the next visit The hot tub has some powerful jets which felt good, and a large swimming pool that goes from inside to outside There’s a pool towel area inside to quickly grab a towel I felt very safe staying here, it’s a nice area We will definitely be back when visiting the area again

This was such a nice stay The room was perfectly-sized, everything was crisp and clean, and the folks who saw us in and out were very nice I know a Jeff was working the night shift and I apologize for not knowing the lady’s name this morning at 5:30am but she and Jeff were both wonderful! I would give this hotel 10 stars if possible and I am PICKY when it comes to hotels

Even the elevators had cute little sayings, which I feel was a nice touch (I’m posting a pic of one that made me smile) Thank you for a wonderful stay, Sonesta!

Rooms were very clean and smelled good I love the wall thermostat so I can set the temperature in the room Maid service was great but the front desk could be more organized

Great breakfast; sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy, cold items, muffins, and the best cinnamon rolls EVER! The pancake machine was out of order and the coffee had grounds in every cup They really need to teach the kitchen staff how to make coffee They have nice places to sit outside and outdoor pool, handicap accessible It would be nice if the elevator buttons were wiped down ever so often Other than that we had a good stay

Shanta Singleton

I checked in a little late,but received a friendly attitude and a smile from the gentleman on dutyAfter such a long day it was a nice thing to seeThe rooms were nicely appointed, and the hotel was very clean

It seemed like a nice areaThere is a Dunkin Donuts ,and 2 gas stations within walking distanceThe only small Con was the breakfastIt was just okay I wish there were more optionsThey had sausage,small omelets, eggs,biscuits and gravy,and you could make pancakes if you would like for Hot optionsOverall,I was very happy with my one night stay,and would stay again if in the area

Very nice hotel and staff Very clean, rooms are very spacious A word of warning though and only reason I didn’t give 5 stars – if you’re someone with long hair plan on an extra hour or two to get ready if you’re showering

The water pressure of the shower is super weak, it’s like a trickle If you have long hair it will take about an hour or two to rinse the shampoo/conditioner out of your hair

Kris Macchiarola

This hotel accommodates pets (which I did not know) The hotel should have designated rooms for people with pets vs people without

My room smelled like animals and triggered my allergies immediately The staff did their best to improve my experience, but it wasn’t enough because every time I went back to the hotel, my symptoms would worsen

Jessica Modic

My husband and I stayed here for 4 months, so we know ALL the details The staff is amazing! They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to make it feel like home Yonas brought all of my packages to my room, Nick always grabbed my garbage and towels outside my door, Desiree made sure the housekeepers even used my non toxic cleaning products! Larry made sure anything I needed fixed got taken care of and Niemah (prob spell wrong) is top notch in taking care of all hospitality services! So blessed to stay with this crew and we are sad to leave!

Staff was super friendly and helpful Hotel is in a great location and off of the main road, so it feels like a “getaway” The pool was fantastic

They have a basketball court and even will provide you with a basketball, which made my kids very happy Room was spotless and quiet Bathroom was spotless and the water was nice and hot with great water pressure Thank you for making our trip wonderful!

Robert McDonald

Pulling up the place looks great Nice building and grounds Check in and lobby are nice

Staff is amazing, very welcoming The bad is the rooms They are dated and dirty We had just drove 8hrs on the way to the beach and needed to stop for the night We let our twins play on the floor after checking for anything laying around After 20 mins they had black feet and knees So time for a bath Tub needs resurfaced Overall it’s OK, breakfast was great They just need a little help with cleaning and some updates Beds were clean and comfortable Flood light outside bedroom was odd but blackout shades worked well

Tim Grass

The suite was spacious and clean Seconds away from groceries, Starbucks, gas and more The staff was extremely friendly and helpful

The complimentary breakfast was better than many other hotels Pre-maid egg omelettes with veggies, sausage, potatoes, fresh waffles with chocolate chips or walnuts or strawberries, pastries, cereal, grits, etc A great stay

Amy Bryant

Conveniently located next to the hospital providing easy access to your loved one The rooms are spacious and at least during my stay the hotel was relatively quiet But please understand you will be next to the hospital so you will hear emergency vehicles throughout the day and night

But it is worth the trade off if you need access to the hospital The Bistro located on the first floor is pretty good and not too expensive There are plenty of other food options all around the hotel as well as a convenience store right around the corner for all your last minute needs Definitely recommend this hotel

Emma Jane Black

They are all very professional and willing to help you anyway they can I stay here often so I can go to UAB to my doctor Everyone I’ve met here are pleasant and go above and beyond to make you feel special

The rooms are roomy, clean and comfortable I will continue to be a regular at the Courtyard

Noah Hurst

For $200/night, one should have some reasonable expectations: the shower head to be actually attached to the wall & the bath towels to be larger than a napkin Had the look of being recently partially renovated However, since its proximity to UAB Medical Center (Kirklin) meant we only had to walk a few feet outside during my wife’s open heart surgery, it was still worth it

Overall stay was pretty good The A/C in the room could have been a little more cooler it was kind of muggy The bar was great, the bartenders were friendly especially the woman on the weekend with the darker hair didn’t get her name

The breakfast was amazing 😊 The breakfast staff are great and heartwarming ❤️, especially Lisa, Loretta and Jen They always gave great service and did a great job taking care of the breakfast buffet Thank you 🙏

Ralph Andrada

The staff here is very polite and welcomingThe breakfast is very good with an excellent varietyRoom I was in is clean, spacious and very welcoming

Has that nice traditional hotel feel that I loveSo far in my life I’ve never had a bad experience with a Hilton HotelIf I’m in Birmingham again, I will come stay here again with no hesitation

A.D. Moulton

Stayed here for a weekend with my family in 2 separate double rooms Staff was friendly and accommodating Breakfast buffet was nice although about $17 per person, with the buffet you have people still serving you drinks (coffee and water) so I’m sure a large portion of that is the convenience fee

My room was clean, had a small issue in my bathroom the first night, hotel resolved within about 10 minutes Would recommend! Tons of really nice restaurants around as well

We loved the hotel so much, we stayed here again on our drive back home We were traveling from the Midwest to the East Coast and had planned on stopping in a smaller town, but their outdoor pools didn’t open until Labor Day and we had promised our kids they could swim when we reached the hotel So I researched some hotels in Birmingham and one of the reviews suggested going to The Summit area

We are so thankful for that review! This hotel was extremely clean, the staff was excellent, the pool was clean and the beds and linens were so comfortable The young man that worked the front desk (he appeared to be in his 20s; has a birthday coming up or recently celebrated it) was friendly, helpful, and made us feel completely welcome and at home We were going to try to drive farther down the road on our return trip home, but we felt like we didn’t want to try to find another hotel as good as this one, so we stayed here again and were so thankful It was a good price, too And great location! We enjoyed the nearby restaurants (We recommend Mooyah for burgers, Seasons52 for a special occasion, and Big Spoon Creamery for a delicious treat!) We left before breakfast both times, so we can’t attest to that But we also used the water bottle station in the workout room and noticed they have complimentary headphones for your workout if you forgot yours- super cool Also, the shampoo, soap and conditioner are fancier than we typically use- definitely a treat 😉

Anna Greenhill

I am very picky about hotels, especially now that a lot of them are unfortunately short staffed This hotel was very clean, the customer service was great, and all of the guests seemed happy Our room was very clean and stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash

The complimentary breakfast was good as well 10/10 would recommend and/or book again

Jared Stump

One of the nicest Fairfield properties I’ve stayed at! Brand new and everything is top notch I stayed in a king suite, which was very spacious The furniture was beautiful and it felt like I was in someone’s home, not a hotel

The hotel gym was also very spacious and the equipment was nice and new I would go out of my way to stay here again

Breakfast selection was excellent Normally hotel breakfast is difficult for those of us with food allergies, but the Drury hotel offers so many options that I was able to have a great breakfast In the room, my two favorite things were the pillows (soft, but supportive) and an awesome shower

Love the angle of the shower head as well as the water pressure Indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub was enjoyed by many guests Next time, I’m bringing my suit! This hotel checks off all of my must-haves for a hotel and at an affordable rate

Judy Lanier

The entire staff was was friendly and welcoming The General Manager, Melanie, loves her job, and it was obvious that she loves the Hospitality Industry She made us feel so Welcome

The food was good, and we enjoyed talking with several people that we met We will definitely visit again We are locals who were getting a new roof on our home and decided to take a 2 day break while roofers were there Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Adrian Bee

We had a great stay Mattresses were actually comfortable and pillows were nice and fluffy We did not partake in the dinner and drinks provided but we did do the hot breakfast and we were quite impressed with the selection

Because the indoor pool was connected to the outdoor pool, the indoor pool was a bit chillyOverall, we had a fantastic stay and would recommend!
