We stayed here a few weeks before and our room was great. The room this time was a bit more dinged up and the caulking was peeling from the shower and the shower door didn't work properly. It seemed to show its age.

The staff at Aloft Birmingham-Soho Square were exceptional! They were not only warm and welcoming but also highly responsive to every question or request. The hotel’s location in the vibrant SOHO area offers fantastic dining and shopping options. I strongly recommend this property for anyone visiting Birmingham. When I come visit my daughter at her college, I'll only stay here!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are terribly designed and built. The bathroom: the pocket door was dangerously askew and slid out of its mooring each time we opened it. The carpet had stains all over it. The switch for the lights above and on each side of the bed can be controlled from only one side--a real drag if you and your mate fall asleep at different times. There are NO DRAWERS. Anywhere. Instead, there are open shelves--in the BATHROOM. When we arrived I took a clean, damp washcloth to wipe off one of the shelves and it not only came away dirty, but with several hairs on it. The shower: absurd. The pumps on the row of Dry Bar (a fine brand) shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles are located 5 feet, 8 inches above the shower floor. I repeat: 5 feet, 8 inches. Maybe if I was Luka Doncic I could reach those bottles. But at 5'3", it wasn't going to happen. The WXYZ bar in the lobby was well-stocked, and the bartender was a lovely woman, great at her job. But the recorded music there and throughout the lobby drowned out any possibility for conversation, or for hearing a word the desk staff said. Maybe that's because the chump who designed the place never learned that stone and concrete floors and walls do not absorb sound, they REFLECT IT. A short list of the hotels my husband and I have stayed in over the years is close to 75. Aloft Birmingham will long remain in our memories as the most poorly-designed lodging in which we have ever stayed.

Unfortunately, my recent stay was marred by poor customer service. One of the staff members was extremely rude — breakfast was provided, but there were no utensils or plates available. When I asked for them, I was met with attitude rather than assistance. Checkout was equally unpleasant. The staff member was training a new employee and seemed more focused on that than acknowledging or assisting me. Her tone was passive-aggressive and dismissive, which really set a negative tone for the rest of my morning. Disappointing experience overall, especially when basic hospitality and courtesy were lacking.
