Top Downtown Birmingham Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood

10/10 Excellent

"The room was extremely clean and smelled really good."

Elyton Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was a lovely place for a weekend getaway, and the downstairs staff were welcoming and pleasant. However, the refrigerator in our room was leaking water, and the service at the rooftop bar fell short of expectations. Despite the bar being relatively quiet, my guests and I were repeatedly overlooked by both the servers and hostess, waiting over 15 minutes before having to request assistance. While we enjoyed our stay, more attentive service would have made the experience even better."
