Birmingham Hotels with Swimming Pools

The hotel was clean and in a great location for the reason I was in Birmingham. It was near to the event that I was attending. The sink in my room had a stopper that prevented the water from escaping when I did not want it to collect in the sink during activities such as brushing my teeth and washing my face. The water was also cold and took an excessively long time to heat up even a little bit. It was not even lukewarm. Therefore, I checked out and was unable to shower. My son actually took a cold shower on a cold day, one of the coldest that we have had in Alabama in a while. I was also awakened by an emergency message and alarm to vacate the building due to an emergency only to learn later that it was a test. I learned this when the fire truck arrived and I heard an employee apologizing for not calling them to let them know that it was only a test. I only stayed overnight so there was no other opportunity for me to get a better impression. The only reason that I did not give a lower rating for the facilities is because once I reported the issue with the shower and sink, they sent a handy man to the room to make the repairs, but my son was already taking a cold shower at the time since we were scheduled to get back home to meet previously scheduled obligations. The staff person who was checking me out said that she couldn't do anything for me because I booked through a third party. However, she did state that she would refund the money that I paid for parking.

This was our third time at this hotel went back because we enjoyed ourselves the previous two times hotel was the same as before could get a sunbed any time of day the food was well prepared pizzas were great can be receptive but always something to eat, maybe the rooms need a little updating but very clean. Was able to keep room late on last day when asked, all staff worked really hard all day. The location is great not as busy as some resorts but enough going on to enjoy yourself. The only negative from previous years was entertainment with was run by one entertainer which didn't seem interested never seen her only walking around talking to lifeguards, the hotel board said in morning three activities a day but in 7 days play pool and darts on one day rest of week only a lazy game obviously her specialty me and my son enjoy pool entertainment which we have done at hotel before which helps people get together and get to know the entertainment staff which is why we went back. The last few days the entertainer left and was replaced, and things improved a little late for us probably would try a new location for next holiday just let down by the entertainment and had to go out of night which if full inclusive defeats the idea of buying drinks, but Rock Cafe if like the music is a good night out .

I had a great experience with this hotel. I had an unexpected house fire that afternoon and they took very good care of me and my time of need. I would highly recommend to anyone

1 night stay which we would have stayed longer if we weren't just passing through. The pool looks great and was very busy at 930AM!! Restaurant was serving late so we could order a steak at 9pm! Salads were great! Room was clean and there were local shops nearby within walking distance. The resort is located at the edge of a neighborhood and I cod have easily taken a nice walk through and enjoyed viewing some of the homes. Will book here again on next road trip for sure!!

This Holiday Inn Express was able to check us in at 11am when we arrived instead of the usual 3pm. This is a fairly new hotel . . . modern, spotless, well-lit lobby and initially everything seemed to work as it should. Then lots of little things went awry (locked out of our room during our 5-nite stay, flickering lamp, not all breakfast food available, mini-frig froze our food, towels not available, trash not emptied), though everything except breakfast was corrected when the front desk was notified. Receptionist Jennifer was particularly helpful . . . a model of professionalism, smarts and courtesy. Our main disappointment was the poor lighting in the room which seems to be the way at most hotels. Still, the location is great . . . just off I-65, 15 minutes from downtown and the staff helpful. And the brightly lit breakfast area became a perfect spot for late afternoon Scrabble games. We would stay here again.

This was my fourth stay with Homewood Suites near UAB. And like all the other times, it was amazing! When I walked in to check in, the young lady actually recognized me from my last visit and reminded me of my Hilton Honors, which I had forgotten about, and gave me a complimentary bag with 2 bottled waters and treats! Very welcoming! The complimentary breakfast was phenomenal! So many items of variety to choose from! The young lady over the breakfast area came by my table to make sure everything was OK. We spoke about my trip. Very friendly and kind to me and other guests. They even have a manager's reception during the evenings (unfortunately I wasn't able to attend) When I checked out, Tracy greeted me with smile and asked if everything was to my liking, which I responded Yes! I always enjoy my stay with Homewood! Which is true, the rooms and views are spectacular! Mine was a king size bed with a sofa that let's out to a good size bed. Spacious bathroom area, and a kitchenette fully equipped with a counter top stove, microwave, good size refrigerator, coffee/tea maker, dishes, pots and pans even a garbage disposal. Homewood near UAB is definitely my go to place, my home away from. I highly recommend Homewood to anyone for their stay while in town. The staff team are A+

Over the years we have stayed a quite a few Doubletrees and I have always considered them a step up from Hampton Inn etc. As we were without the dogs on this trip I thought a nice hotel would be worth it. The hotel is well situated near the freeway but that is about all the positives I can find. After a full day of driving my wife and I decided we would eat in the hotel. So after checking in (no cookies were offered) we freshened up and headed down, this was around 7:45 pm. There was one couple in the actual dining area and quite a few people in the adjacent bar area. We waited near the entrance and soon a female server walked past with some plates for the bar area. She did not acknowledge our presence but she was serving so no big deal I thought. On her way back she continued to ignore us as did the male server also heading to the bar area. He also declined to acknowledge us on his way back and when she came past a third time looked right at me and uttered not one word I came to the conclusion they did not want to be bothered. There was no please take a seat or I will be right with you so we headed out of there to find a place that did want our business. The hotel is close to a Perry’s Steakhouse and it was packed which would explain the parking difficulty we had but we needed to eat so I gave up the spot it had taken me ten minutes to find. The room itself was fine but the shower was a tub/shower combo with no non-slip on the tub bottom. There was no shower mat for stepping out of the tub so we used one of the hand towels. Not a good experience and, in fact, I cancelled a reservation at another Doubletree for our return trip as a result.

This was a great place to stay that was in downtown Birmingham and close to Children’s Hospital where we needed to go. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a little too soft, but the room was great other than that. The hot breakfast was also great and had several options. We would definitely stay here again!
