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

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

Customer service from Victoria (Vicky) was 100/10! She made my partner and I feel so welcome and comfortable! Her attitude was just beautiful 4/5 stars because the room was not as clean as I would have liked There was an old used soap bar left in the bathroom and the shower was a dingy color
Almost as if it were half cleaned Everything else was great! Love the bed and TV!
Kris Olsen
My company has several business interests in Birmingham We have been using this location for years and, under the previous manager (Tillman), we have always found the accommodations nice and professional A few months ago, a new manager (Jessica) took over and everything changed
There is a complete change at the front desk and the new staff act as if customers are an inconvenience They are rude and incompetent We use online reservations and E-check in More often than not, they can’t find our reservations and/or the room we have reserved has been changed to something completely different The side access doors no longer work with your room key The front desk will tell you that the card readers are broken, but you can watch the staff use them regularly You can only use the front door, which requires walking completely around the building regardless of weather The trash cans are routinely overflowing On my last stay, my room (I had E-checked in to a different one prior to arriving) smelled I’m not sure if it was the dirty carpet or a large, stinking bag of trash left outside my door from when I checked in to when I checked out There were bugs on the bed The common areas were dirty My company has been reserving several rooms, several nights a month for a very long time After discussing this with my VP, we will no longer be staying at this location Birmingham has a lot of hotels to choose from There are literally half a dozen within a stone’s throw from this location We won’t put up with this anymore
Ed Jenkins
The staff are all super nice and helpful However, I believe this hotel is in need of a serious deep cleaning The elevators were dirty and smelly, and there were several things in our room that were sub-par
It smelled strongly of an unpleasant air freshener, and many of the surfaces in the room had not been cleaned Also, the hotel overall just needs refreshing with updated furniture and wall coverings It is not up to the standard of most Hampton Inns we have stayed in

Spent two nights at this hotel and was pleased with my choice The room was clean and spacious I will say the sleeper sofa was the most uncomfortable thing ever
I ended up making a bed on the chaise lounge part of the couch with one of the dining chairs for my feet Luckily I’m short so it worked out perfectly with a great view of the tv The lobby/breakfast had plenty of seating that was not on top of the next table I didn’t try the breakfast but it appeared to have a good variety The little market had your basics too The location was great for me as it was walkable to restaurants and most important for me, at least one local coffee shop The best thing about this hotel was definitely the staff Every single person was super friendly and so helpful These days customer service is not always pleasant, but it is at this hotel!!
Kerry foy
Stayed here at Residence Inn for 10 days on a business trip The service was awesome LaTara was the first person I met to check in and she was so kind, courteous and helpful throughout my entire stay
All the hotel staff was amazing! The room was excellent! The breakfast was very good and the staff preparing it, made it extra special Thank you
Jamie Cook
Nice rooms other than the water damage in the kitchen I loved the two bedroom suite option which made sharing a room with my parents much easier Breakfast is amazing and service was incredibly friendly
The location is nice if you’re visiting a student from UAB and is also located within walking distance from a lot of quality restaurants and bars

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
Carlos Campbell
Make sure to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your hotel This web site will compare countless booking websites and typically will have rooms much cheaper than others! You’re welcome :)! This resort is the best rated in this area
I’ve been coming here for a long time If you stay for a few days you definitely will love it I’m sure!Absolutely loved staying here Lovely warm welcome We had a suite and it was fantastic, rooms were big and had everything we needed to feel comfortable Complimentary food and 3 free drinks each Would definitely stay here again
A.N. Explores
The people that work here are so so nice and friendly They’re happy to help if you need anything Definitely made our stay that much better
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

The stay wasn’t bad The staff was friendly The breakfast was alright
The hotel needs some updating, hence the 4 out of 5My phone call to book the room was the most horrible experience ever I think they use a third party, at least for when they’re busy If this review was only based on that, I would give it zero stars When I was done w the phone call I was angry and exhausted They took 15 minutes and kept trying to get me to sign up for a bunch of things Plus they were super pushy and when I asked how much the room rate was she made me listen to a whole spiel for 7 minutes before she would give me the price I can’t explain it, you just have to call at a busy time and see for yourself
Betsy Duffy
Read the reviews prior to booking THEY ARE LIES Do NOT book this hotel
1 The room door handle came off in our hand2 The air conditioner leaked all over the floor (3rd floor) Yes The floor under the air conditioner was saturated and we witnessed water dripping down the cord We worried about mold3 Dirty bedspread and holes in the blankets4 The hallway carpets are FILTHY5 The room, hallway, and elevator smelled like smoke6 Mold in the ice machine Obviously we did not useThe kicker was…when we nicely went back to the desk and asked for a different room and listed off the issues the owner was summonsed and stated before we could be given another room she had to see how much of the room we had used WE HAD JUST CHECKED IN!We did not have time to change hotels as we only had one half hour to spare until we were due at the Miss Alabama competitionSeriously Save yourself Do NOT book this hotel

It first of all started with amazing Customer service when we arrived on Friday I wish I could remember his name but he was so kind and helpful I had my seven-year-old daughter with me and he catered to her as she was the one paying
He made sure she knew where the pool was and then put us in a room overlooking the pool so she could see it, then gave her the key to hold, and just made us feel welcomed The breakfast was delicious, especially the scrambled eggs The room was so clean and perfect for what we needed The room was quiet, the air conditioning was amazing and cold We slept like babies The entire staff from front desk, housekeeping, breakfast and check out was great The hallways smelled so clean and fresh The only SMALL complaint was the toilet seat was too small for the toilet which was very weird We will 100 percent stay there again
Ana G.
We had a wonderful stay here This is the closest hotel to Barber Motorsports Park The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful
There is hot coffee and hot water (for tea or cocoa) in front of the front counter all day long The breakfast available was simple: scrambled eggs, sausage links/patties, oatmeal, muffins, bagels, yogurt, and make your own waffles The perfect way to start your day before hitting the track
Steve Lacol
The staff was top notch, the property is Class A, everything worked, breakfast was greatBut the real show stopper was the front desk manager, Lakisha, who just beamed hospitality and went out of her way, in every way, to make it a great stay DEFINITELY COMING BACK

Great customer service Clean room Wonderful, central location
Parking lot fully lit and safe If ever in Birmingham again, will definitely stay hereAn aside, the hallways and elevators are very warm and humid Definitely a turnoff, as was trying to get the room cool enough We were told this was due to a new system installed that pulls air from the outside – not great when it’s July in Alabama! Overall, though, very pleased!!!
Marquita Gibbs
This hotel is beautiful and in a quiet area When we arrived and checked in, there was an issue with our room Nelson at the front desk accommodated us quickly and made sure we were comfortable for our stay
The breakfast had many options and we were very pleased Kelsey and the main cook were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of Their hospitality made celebrating our special occasion an even more joyous event Definitely recommend this hotel
Bill Fortenberry
The hotel personnel were amazing They were very professional and friendly Unfortunately, the building itself seems to be suffering from some structural issues
There was a large dip in the middle of the floor of our room, and the floor of the bathroom was so off level that the toilet lid would not stay up and the sliding door for the shower would not stay closedWe at breakfast at the hotel “restaurant,” but we would have been better off eating somewhere else There was not a free breakfast provided, and we would have had no issue with paying for a decent meal, but the food was the exact same fare that we would have gotten for free at any other hotel in the area It was also annoying that breakfast was served an hour later on Saturday than on FridayWe did appreciate the fact that the clientele at this hotel are mostly business leaders as opposed to vacationers The hallways were very quiet, and we did not have any disturbances during the night Overall, it was a good stay, but I don’t think we’ll be back given the structural problems and the lack of a real restaurant

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

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

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

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

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

Sloppy craftsmanship in the rooms, not painted well Their service was not great, came off as lazy Pool area was closed but nothing posted otherwise so my family was kicked out of there
Their breakfast was not prepared well either Eggs were soupy Bagels were hard as rocks Lots of stuff not being changed out as it should’ve been Update: @ReplyFromHolidayINN: If you wanna make it up credit half our money back from our stay Give me your email if you wanna make good on your word
Roxann Pickett
Our sheets on the bed in our room had black spectrum all over them even the pillow cases had specks of black It was obviously staines cause they didn’t brush I checked under the bed mattress but saw no bugs
The tub in our room was stained with something that would not rub off Don’t think I’ll stay here again Was going to talk to someone in the morning, but was too busy with another guest 🤨
Hermie Chambers

This was one of the best stays I’ve had at a hotel in a very long time! Clean rooms, good food, and best yet, the customer serviceTaylor works the front desk and she helped me with EVERYTHING I needed She was so personable and easy to talk to
Sometimes it’s not easy staying at an unfamiliar place away from home but with her amazing personality and care for others, she really helped me feel at home Taylor if you see this, thank you so much for everything! The pizza was amazing! 10/10 recommended
lovetnliving
Let me start by that the staff was excellent If they hadn’t been so friendly and helpful, this review would be much worse Taylor especially was the best!The accommodations were decent, but lacking in cleanliness
This is specific to lots of hair that was found in the bathroom around the toilet and in the tub We had some issues with items in our room such as the air/heat unit, and the refrigerator The refrigerator didn’t work at all I didn’t want to switch rooms and I didn’t need to go through the hassle of it being replaced because we were constantly coming and going due to a tournament, but it was an inconvenience Our AC/heat unit only blew cold air no matter what temperature it was at Even if you turned it off, it would continue to blow cold air The first night I had to put towels over the vent so we wouldn’t freeze I had them check it and it was having issues “electronically” The maintenance man was able to manually shut it off so we didn’t use it the rest of the stay Thankfully we had extra blankets and it was warm enough in the room to keep me and my kids from freezing I think for the price it was a bit overrated I also want to state that since Covid many places have not been fully staffed so I tried to remember that during our stay and give some grace
Dee Marie
I had a great stay here for two nights The staff are superb and willing to help The room was clean and spacious
The area has some nice places to take a walk or hike if you have time plus there are plenty of restaurants, a nearby Trader Joe’s and Fresh Market I have stayed at this HP years ago and yes it could use an update but overall for the price it’s a great deal Breakfast is also good with excellent biscuits, juice, even green tea and chai options

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!

Tresa Shirrell
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!

Terrible stay! The room we stayed in was horrendous n honestly a waste of my money! There was hair everywhere from the bathroom to the bedroom The toilet had pee on it, there was a ring in the tub n it was clogged up badly! Food bag was found in the closet The hospitality was poor, had to ask for clean towels
This is suppose to be a 5star hotel, I honestly could have stayed somewhere cheaper n received better room service n so on 👎🏽
Melanie Metzger
Very friendly front desk employee The hotel is in need of updates badly The rooms are old and out dated
The TVs are tiny and ours wouldn’t work correctly Only like 5 channels on our TV worked The breakfast was awful All of the hot food was cold and we were down there before 9am Their juice machine was out of juices The pool closed early and opened late (this was the only reason we booked this hotel) On a weekend most hotel pools are open until 10 or 11pm Theirs closed at 8pm We stay at least 25+ nights a year at hotels and this was a first Our room was clean at least
David Brown
If I could give this negative stars I would My friends and I have been staying here every year during the Barber Vintage Festival and in this same hotel And it always been pretty good
This year over 3 nights stay we got no room cleaning and I still had to go downstairs to get fresh towels To top it off, they quoted us a good price for all 3 nights When we checked out they were unable to print out our receipt so we left and waited for an email receipt They only gave us the better rate one night and charged nearly double for the other 2 nights Even after being on the phone for hours they wouldn’t budge So unless you like getting robbed in a dirty hotel, don’t stay here
