we didn’t stay and we want our money back. It’s in the worst part of town and the reviews were terrible. We drove way out of the way to our next destination.

The room was great. This isn't like a normal hotel... it is some suites that are in an office building. Checkin was done at the security office and you have access to the club on floor 20. No complaints at all, a very nice place and great facilities, but if you are expecting a normal hotel with restaurants and people everywhere, this isn't like that.

It was super high-end, super clean and super safe in addition to the boutique feel and luxury decorations. I felt like I was in a New York City flat.

The rooms and other appointments at the hotel were outstanding. The only concern was the early check out, which was 10:00 am. That meant for us we paid for a whole day and didn’t get 24 hours. We did ask for a late check out because I have a work call at 10;00 am, but was denied.

This is the best boutique hotel in Bham! Really close to tons of dining options, parking just off of Morris Ave (looks like a street in the UK)!

Don't overlook this GEM. Really cool hotel in a historic building. Only 7 rooms available tucked away on the 7th floor. Spacious, clean, and shower pressure in the bomb. 5-7 minute walks to a great array of restaurants. Will be back next time in town.

Best hotel in Birmingham in my opinion. There are only about a half dozen rooms so it's very quiet. The rooms are great, with plenty of space. The common area with the kitchen and indoor and outdoor sitting areas is very nice, and again, due to the small size it's always quiet. The location is also incredible, as your within walking distance to multiple nice restaurants, and anything beyond that is a quick Uber/Lyft. My wife and I have stayed multiple times, and will definitely be back again in the future.
