Hotels in Birmingham, AlabamaAn older full-service 3-star near Birmingham’s airport
6.8/10
Useful for an airport overnight, but friendly staff cannot disguise the wear.
This older full-service 3-star is a practical airport stop rather than a hotel to build a Birmingham trip around. Free parking, a complimentary airport shuttle and Steel City Bar & Grill make a short stay straightforward. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, and plenty describe clean rooms and comfortable beds. We'd consider it for one night before or after a flight.
The condition is less dependable: Expedia, Tripadvisor and Trip.com guests report dated bathrooms, worn carpets, musty or smoke odors, and uneven housekeeping. IHG announces a comprehensive modernization beginning in fall 2026 and says the outdoor pool is not planned to open in 2026; check construction arrangements before booking. Breakfast usually costs extra, and the shuttle is not round-the-clock. We'd skip it for a pool-focused family stay or if consistently fresh rooms matter more than airport convenience.

Best for: overnight airport travelers; short business stays with a car
Watch out for: fall 2026 modernization and closed outdoor pool; dated rooms and inconsistent housekeeping; smoke or musty odors despite a smoke-free policy
Location: Convenient for the airport and interstates; less suited to exploring Birmingham on foot.
Rooms: Many guests find beds comfortable, but bathrooms and carpets show wear; some report highway noise.
Cleanliness: Many clean-room reports, alongside recurring complaints about stains, odors and housekeeping lapses.
Service: Friendly front-desk and restaurant staff are the most consistent strength.
Amenities: Restaurant, bar, gym and free Wi-Fi; airport shuttle advertised from 4 a.m. to midnight; pool unavailable in 2026.
Fees and surprises: Guest parking is free; extended parking and breakfast generally cost extra; confirm renovation impacts.
