Red Roof Inn Birmingham South
There were scratches on the doors, the easy access to the parking lot and the thin walls where you can everything and mean everything, which is not what I want to hear when I needed a break.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Hoover
This hotel is extremely clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was packed in the morning but there was still plenty of hot food and places to sit. I would 100% stay here again.

Holiday Inn Birmingham-Airport by IHG
The room was comfortable, but the hall and elevator were looking worn. Very convenient to the airport; the shuttle starts at 4 am which was helpful.

The soap dispenser for the sink was conditioner and not hand soap and the shower’s bath wash was empty. We did not have towels because we were not on the list.
