Top Alabama Theater Hotel Reviews

Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

10/10 Excellent

"All staff were friendly and helpful. The room was nice and well kept. No issues during our stay. Shuttle to and from airport both were pleasant and smooth rides. Would recommend "

John Hand Club Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great. This isn't like a normal hotel... it is some suites that are in an office building. Checkin was done at the security office and you have access to the club on floor 20. No complaints at all, a very nice place and great facilities, but if you are expecting a normal hotel with restaurants and people everywhere, this isn't like that."
