La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Hoover
Clean room. AC didn’t work as good as I hoped. Two school busses arrived and we had kids on our floor running the halls, screaming and slamming doors. Called front desk, didn’t seem to make any difference if anything was said at all. Finally calmed down a little after 10 pm.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood
Parking was simple. It’s a good place to stay if you are only in town for a couple days. Only incident was some random person in the parking lot was trying to ask where we came from and where we lived. Other than that it’s close to a lot of food choices and a short drive to downtown area.

Great property and rooms. They gave us a bag of snacks and drinks when we checked in. Rooms were great and precious for a family of four. Only thing is towels - we could have had more
