Super cool hotel right in the heart of Birmingham. If you’re tired of the same crowded “standard” hotel experience, this place is a refreshing change. No packed lobby, long front desk lines, or chaos — just a smooth, modern virtual check-in experience from start to finish. The hotel itself felt brand new or newly remodeled, and everything was clean, stylish, and thoughtfully done. Great location, unique atmosphere, and overall just a really easy and enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Parking was easy and we felt very secure leaving our truck. There is no elevator but we didn't mind the two flights of stairs to the top floor. It was nice, quiet, and cute place to stay the night. And we enjoyed ByGones bar next door.

The room was beautiful and very well maintained. There is a camera monitored parking lot for hotel guests which was both very convenient and made me feel safer than leaving my car out for street parking. The staff was so incredibly kind after a long almost impossible day. Next time I am in Birmingham I hope that I will be able to stay with them again!

The building is in a great location. Parking and check-in were easy. The only thing I didn't care for was the tv turning itself on several times throughout the night. Would recommend as long as you don't mind a friendly ghost!

The place was exceptionally clean. Parking was no problem. I was impressed with my overall experience. The stairs were not a problem for me but guests who have problems with stairs need to be aware of no elevator. Staff were very friendly. Two thumbs up.

The place was great. Room was large and bed was comfy. Loved the decor. Would have liked a little more clothes storage or place to hang my clothes. In room coffee maker would be nice for travelers who rise super early to get to hospital. Other than that. Loved it. Will stay again.

One of the best hotel stays I’ve had, and by far the best in Birmingham. Fair prices, great amenities, and the staff is some of the friendliest I have ever interacted with. Room was clean and absolutely adorable, I will be staying here every time I stay in Birmingham from now on.
