I'm in the military and I've had to stay in a lot of hotels and this one surpasses most of the 4 & 5 star ones by far. We had to come to UAB hospital for a few days and stayed at the Springhill Suites the first night. It was not up to my standards so we decided to go... More

This property is located downtown right next to a hospital and a number of medical venues. To access the freeway, you had to take surface roads....that's just for the direction we were traveling which was towards Atlanta. They are working on a great freeway, Hwy 20 I think, and I believe it was almost ready to open....it may be open... More

We made a weekend trip to Birmingham and stayed in the RIUAB for two nights and were happy with our choice. The room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet (we were on the inside away from the hospitals). The staff, from front desk to housekeeping, were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. We enjoyed the location because it was close to... More

This is a very nice all-suite hotel centrally located in downtown Birmingham. I traveled to Birmingham with my sister to have surgery at the UAB Highland hospital.. I chose the hotel for its proximity to the hospital as well as the central location. Many shops and restaurants were in walking distance, making it quite convenient. Check in was prompt and... More

Check-in was quick and easy, Matthew was very nice. Stayed on first floor in secondary building which wasn't ideal. The parking lot is right outside your window. Even with that the stay was relatively quiet minus the dumpster being serviced at 0 dark thirty. We stayed in a one bedroom which was spacious everywhere except for the bedroom. We have... More

Was greeted at check in with smiles and professional courtesy. The room was spacious with a full kitchen. Bathroom was extremely clean. Bed was good but could do a better job with pillows. Breakfast was provided but was missing several items. Also kitchen staff could be a little friendlier.

Stayed here March 16th for one night. I sincerely enjoyed my stay at the Residence Inn. The hotel is nice and clean. The rooms were wonderful as all RIs I've stayed in. The bathroom toilet flushed so quietly. That was a surprise. My fiance loves it cold and the AC was able to reach a low temp (below 70) without... More
