Overnight for a concert

The room was comfy and more spacious than most hotels for an overnight stay. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in during a hotel stay. Fairfield downtown Birmingham is so convenient to many downtown venues. If we should visit again, we will definitely stay here!

The staff is nice, very polite. We found a crack pipe under the bed. The mattress’s had big stains, walls were all scuffed up with marks and overall it wasn’t very clean. I’ve been a cop for 9 years and I took the glass crack pipe to the front desk and showed her and all I got was “oh wow”. Having a crack pipe in a room with your two small children isn’t the safest environment or most welcoming. We could have got provided another room, discount on the room anything other than “oh wow”. I will not ever be staying here again or recommending it to anyone.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I first checked in the person helping me was either new or had absolutely zero idea how to check people in. She wanted to confirm payment for my reservation and I showed her my reservation booked through this site and she still ran my card for the full amount for a second time. After a lot of waiting and confusion, the manager took care of that pending charge. Upon checking out I was able to speak with the manager and she was extremely helpful. The location was not terrible, but the facility is a little rundown. The room seemed clean, but I really did not enjoy my stay and I checked out early.
