Employee at check in was not friendly at all, bordered rude. Pet friendly hotel and there was a barking dog 2 doors down a screaming crying toddler banging on the wall next door. Room smelled horrble like pet urine. Bed & pillows were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had a lot of choices but didnt taste good. Check out employee was just as unfriendly as check in person was.

One drippy night

The air conditioner had been left off in the room in August. Upon our arrival, it was extremely humid and very warm. The floors and walls had condensation on them, and even the sheets felt wet. It was like the carpet had just been cleaned and the room left closed up sopping wet.

First visit to AL. May be an AL thing but mold on the ceiling throughout the room and in shower/tub. Shelf in tub loose. Shower gel empty even though it holds like 100 showers worth. So when was it last checked? Pee on the lower toilet. Seat would stay up so guys had to use with it down. Not what I expect fron HI express.

The property was very outdated, and almost everything was broken. The ice machine wasn’t working, the bathroom shower was leaking and caused wet floors, and the AC didn’t cool the room properly. The room floor was stained and smelled like urine—smh. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the staff, especially the person who checked me in—they were kind and professional. However, I paid for a room with two beds, and at the last minute, they told me they had to switch me to a different room because the one I booked wasn’t available. Very disappointing overall.

I’ve stayed at many Hilton hotels and have come to expect a certain standard—but this location completely missed the mark. When I checked in, I noticed right away that it didn’t meet the usual Hilton quality, but I decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the door to my room, I was hit with a strong, overwhelming smell of mildew. While the room looked clean, the odor made it unbearable. I didn’t stay the night—I immediately checked out. This experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this location. It does not reflect the level of quality I’ve come to associate with the Hilton brand.

Out of the way stay in Birmingham

They put us in the incorrect room, king room instead of two queen bed rooms, didn’t know until I went into the room. Didn’t try to change the room because it was late and we fit. There was no TV remote or coffee maker in the room. In the bathroom only one mirror light worked. The floor/carpet felt damp. It was in a nice off path type of place, the people were nice but busy.

Please Don’t

Though the customer service was nice, the condition of the rooms were terrible. The carpet was dirty, the A/C made a whistling noise, and dirty water back up into the tub after taking a shower (see pic). When we inquired about vacuuming, one of the housekeeper stated they didn’t have a working vacuum and complained she had requested one several times without a response. Disappointed and won’t be staying here again. The halls had a weird, wet, musky smell.
