"Honestly we came for the 2026 Furnace Fest and this was a cheap alternative to all the other options that were crazy priced. We weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived but ultimately just needed a place to lay our head and when we got here it exceeded our original expectations. It was bug free, all the bedding was nice and clean, the shower and water pressure were great, the air conditioning worked great, there was a mini fridge/freezer and a microwave and ice provided by the stairs.

Top McWane Science Center Hotel Reviews

Tutwiler Hotel Birmingham, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I love the historic charm of this hotel, it's in great walking distance to the legacy arena, staff was very friendly and so was valet. You will need to either valet park your car or park in the street. The current rate for parking with valet is $38 a day. They don't give a free breakfast but they do have a restaurant for breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed are stay and would stay there again.."

Sheraton Birmingham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was helpful and friendly. Crosswalk to show was closed, requiring a longer walk."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Birmingham Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, the stay was enjoyable. I just expect more from Holiday Inn as a whole. I know the hotel was upgraded, but the shower/shower rod was not what was expected, the bed was/mattress had a dip in the middle. I believe it may have had to do with the frame or box spring. If we have breakfast vouchers, it is against the policy to get Orange Juice "to go", or are we charged for it?"

The Painted Lady

10/10 Excellent

"Entire hotel was beautiful from the time you step into the lobby to the rooms. Very clean and beautiful decor. Beds were very comfortable and I appreciated the simplicity of it all"

Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

10/10 Excellent

"Great service and the restaurant there was excellent to eat at"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Birmingham Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms and great staff. Good location for downtown Birmingham. The rooms were clean, but a bit dated."

Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Birmingham

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to complain about!"

Loft 308 - The William - Views over Carrigans

10/10 Excellent

"This property is everything it advertised! I knew I had hit out of the park when my wife, who was nervous and skeptical about my surprise pick, glowed upon seeing the loft. I got to see that big, beautiful smile of hers, and I knew I did well.The loft and the building are both very beautiful, and the loft was as lovely as the pictures showed it to be. Tall, bright windows, a warm and inviting kitchen with top-shelf small appliances (we loved the tea kettle by Fellow), and a really cool music/jazzy vibe made the environment very cozy.The bed slept well and the pillows were amazing, so much so that we looked up the brand and ordered some for home that same night. We only booked a one-night stay, but the loft was a perfect getaway for a quick weekend. It was very conveniently in walking distance to 2 awesome eateries: 4 minutes to El Barrio, which had the best queso and Tres Leches cake we've ever had, and 6 minutes to The Essential, which had a fabulous brunch. We spent most of the day at the Birmingham Museum of Art (we got to see an Albert Bierstadt landscape painting and "The Sorceress" by George Merle, which was absolutely beautiful in person), and that was only a 10 minute walk from the loft. Birmingham downtown is very walkable, and we enjoyed that thoroughly.The only real complaints we had was that parking was terrible, and very expensive if you parked in a garage. I'd recommend parking where you can, then moving your car late at night when spaces are available."

Loft 304 - The William - Earthy - Atrium Glow

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay with The William! Perfect location. The loft apartment was perfect for us."
