It's a dump. But it was here it the terminal floor. Hard pass. Filthy and everything is broken.

Absolutely horrible hotel! Hotel was filthy, the sheets in my room were dirty and stained! When I tried to park, they didn't have any place to park. I had to park on the street where I was harassed by homeless people saying they were breaking into cars. This place is a nightmare.

This Hampton Inn is situated in a charming, older building that adds a touch of character to your stay. While it doesn't offer extravagant amenities, it makes up for it with well-kept, clean rooms that ensure a comfortable stay. The blend of historic architecture and modern hospitality creates a pleasant and unique experience. The price is really reasonable.

We stayed one night on our way through towards home. Stayed on a Sunday night. Valet guys were very attentive and friendly, despite the $35 charge- it was best to take the guess work out of the equation after driving for 10 hours on the way here. I like the Hampton Inn properties that are in former older buildings and repurposed historic buildings - which is exactly what this one was. The room was nice, however, they really should think about updating things - the carpet had stains, the wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling in places, and the shower/tub was an early 90's bath fitter wrap that was discolored and looked dated. The hallways and common areas however reminded me of staying in the Plaza in NYC, so maybe the rooms are next. Would recommend staying here.

I stayed here for a funeral at the insistence of my family. I think the appeal of it was that it was a historic hotel. Although I later learned that the original hotel was demolished in 1974 and rebuilt at a different location in 1986 so . . . Definitely an older hotel. The thing that bothered me the most is we paid extra for a 1 bedroom suite but there was no door between the seating area and the bedroom. A door could have been put there but nope. Also, I wouldn't recommend using the sofa bed in the seating area. In our room, there would be no way to get out of the room without folding up the bed. The elevators were unpredictable. The first day, only one worked. One required a key to access the guest room floors. The other did not. Valet was quick. And accommodating. If we had to leave in 20 minutes after drop off they kept the car close. Parking on the street was possible but not super convenient for us so we used valet at $38 per day. Breakfast upstairs was good. My kid liked that she could make fresh waffles with the waffle iron each day. Some hotels only offer it on weekends. Overall not bad, not great. I wouldn't splurge for a suite here unless you really need a mini fridge and microwave.

This is an OLD building - which is not necessarily a bad thing. But - in this case - it's outdated. Bathrooms are funky and need remodeled. Windows do not open and are single pane covered in gobs of paint. TV's are small and have terrible functionality. Lobby is small and awkward. As soon as you enter the hotel you are hit with the smell of a funky place. They don't do much to warn you that parking is nearly $50 per night for valet only. Street parking is plentiful as the downtown area is sadly near completely boarded up. Supposedly parking tickets are not a thing and if you get one you can throw it out. The city does nothing to further enforce. It's funky, grand, outdated and cool all in one. But .. It's lacking quite a lot compared to a newer hotel and the parking charge seems outrageous. They could buy one of the many empty lots or dilapidated parking lots neighboring the property for little $. The struggle is real in Birmingham. I hope this city can turn around the downtown area soon. This is not an 8 out of 10 hotel like other sites claim. More of a 6 of 10 with hidden $50 parking charge in a town with tumbleweeds blowing down the roads.

The hotel is older but just beautiful. The front desk staff and valets are exceptional people and were all friendly and accommodating to the guests. I stayed for 3 nights in the hotel on business with two coworkers. My room was a nice size and I had a wonderful view from my room. The room did not have a mini fridge (you will have to book a suite for a mini fridge). They serve breakfast from 6:30 to 9 am on the 8th floor. The breakfasts were ok but beware of the coffee and hard boiled eggs. The only issue I had with the hotel was a moldy smell inside the hotel. I mentioned it but there was no explanation. I'm not sure I'd stay here for sure again but if I had to I would stay at this hotel. I did get some good sleep after a days work.

As a frequent traveler and fan of Hiltons, I had high hopes for this Hampton Inn. Those were quickly dashed by the lack of really anything other than a standard room that was somewhat clean. Most Hiltons offer a daily food credit. Since I knew I would be leaving before breakfast opened, I asked at the front desk what their policy is. No food credit, nothing, not even for a longtime Diamond member. As others have noted, there was no fridge or microwave in the room. (Though there was a microwave on the 8th floor.) The fitness center didn't open until 6 a.m., which isn't useful for most business travelers. There is only valet parking, at $35 a night, which is reasonable. Just be sure to text them well before you are ready as it takes a while for them to bring out your vehicle, regardless of the time of day. Or better yet, find another Hilton brand to stay at.

I stayed here for two weeknights recently. The bathroom could have been cleaner but in general I liked my room and the hotel overall is fairly nice in my opinion. The breakfast could use some work, both mornings I was here there weren't any fruits or vegetables to choose from. This is a pretty cool place to stay in though and I can tell it has history, if the hotel focuses on improving in a few areas it could be worth a 4 or 5 star review. The workers I encountered were courteous. Lastly my room lacked a fridge or microwave which I feel like is pretty standard these days. Update: I've had to stay here some more nights recently for work and there are definitely more issues I've encountered so I'm making this a 1 star review instead of 3. One of my last two stays was in a room that had an extremely loud heating and cooling system and the pillows were terrible. Then I opted to be in my first room this past week and this time the room that was attached to my unit with an adjoining door was actually being inhabited... and I could hear everything the people said and vice versa. I swear they could literally hear me chew. I came back from buying something at the store a bit late (10pm) and they started making comments after I was messing with loud bags. They were fine but I hated being put in that spot. Felt like I was sharing my room with strangers. Also both rooms had shower drains that were barely working at all. Lastly, there is a small bit of fruit at breakfast but it's nearly hidden so it's hard to find. All in all I don't recommend this hotel.

I think people are being too harsh. This is a historical building and it is beautiful. The customer service was amazing and the valet parking was top tier.
