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!
My husband & I were in Birmingham for a concert. We enjoyed our stay at The Painted Lady! We enjoyed the historic building, beautiful bedroom & huge bathroom!
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!

We loved our stay at the painted lady! The staff was great, very friendly. The hotel was always spotless! We loved the location and we loved the cuteness of the hotel! I would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice little get away
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.
Charming hotel. Great location. Safe and easy street parking. Although there was someone there when we arrived, it seems staff is not always on premises. Main door and hotel rooms have combination codes which are sent via text. Rooms are lovely: comfortable beds and large bathrooms. TVs with all the streaming apps, coffee and tea station on each floor. No elevators. Reasonably priced. I would definitely go back.
The staff was helpful at all times. The only minor issue I had was that the electronic locks to the front door and my room door sometimes took several tries to open, which was a little frustrating but not a big issue
Parking was perfect! I parked right outside the hotel. There was great things around but I did not have time to enjoy. Just there for a quick night of sleep and had to get back on the road. Great stay! Will be back!
This is a great property in a very convenient part of town for me. As a single traveler, I was a little concerned about parking and walking to the front door of the hotel alone at night, but I made it. It’s extremely clean. Very nice rooms nice bedding very quiet. Be aware that there is no elevator. And I did not write it high on a amenities because there are not many amenities. Nice bathroom, toiletries, coffee service in the hall that’s about it. I think it’s a great value for the price. I’ll stay there 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.
The hotel was extremely clean and very beautiful inside and was perfectly within walking distance of everywhere we went for our night in Birmingham! Would definitely stay again and the service was top notch!
