Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Birmingham

The hotel was clean and in a great location for the reason I was in Birmingham. It was near to the event that I was attending. The sink in my room had a stopper that prevented the water from escaping when I did not want it to collect in the sink during activities such as brushing my teeth and washing my face. The water was also cold and took an excessively long time to heat up even a little bit. It was not even lukewarm. Therefore, I checked out and was unable to shower. My son actually took a cold shower on a cold day, one of the coldest that we have had in Alabama in a while. I was also awakened by an emergency message and alarm to vacate the building due to an emergency only to learn later that it was a test. I learned this when the fire truck arrived and I heard an employee apologizing for not calling them to let them know that it was only a test. I only stayed overnight so there was no other opportunity for me to get a better impression. The only reason that I did not give a lower rating for the facilities is because once I reported the issue with the shower and sink, they sent a handy man to the room to make the repairs, but my son was already taking a cold shower at the time since we were scheduled to get back home to meet previously scheduled obligations. The staff person who was checking me out said that she couldn't do anything for me because I booked through a third party. However, she did state that she would refund the money that I paid for parking.

The first room was ok but the second had unfinished fixings inside and holes in the carpet

My main reason for coming to Birmingham was to visit the civil rights sites but staying a couple of nights in a late 19th century mansion was a nice bonus in the middle of a long road trip. The house is certainly beautiful and the location is quite nice. There are a couple of upscale restaurants in the neighborhood (Five Points), a real good bbq place and a bunch of standard fast food places. I found there was plenty of parking behind the building (the parking lot belongs to the mansion) and it was a convenient, quick drive to the civil rights sites. The breakfast both mornings was ample and delicious. I found it to be a relaxing two days.

This was our third time at this hotel went back because we enjoyed ourselves the previous two times hotel was the same as before could get a sunbed any time of day the food was well prepared pizzas were great can be receptive but always something to eat, maybe the rooms need a little updating but very clean. Was able to keep room late on last day when asked, all staff worked really hard all day. The location is great not as busy as some resorts but enough going on to enjoy yourself. The only negative from previous years was entertainment with was run by one entertainer which didn't seem interested never seen her only walking around talking to lifeguards, the hotel board said in morning three activities a day but in 7 days play pool and darts on one day rest of week only a lazy game obviously her specialty me and my son enjoy pool entertainment which we have done at hotel before which helps people get together and get to know the entertainment staff which is why we went back. The last few days the entertainer left and was replaced, and things improved a little late for us probably would try a new location for next holiday just let down by the entertainment and had to go out of night which if full inclusive defeats the idea of buying drinks, but Rock Cafe if like the music is a good night out .

I am usually pretty easing going when it comes to reviews. I booked this room based of the name Tapestry. I love some other in the area but decided to try The Kelly. Never again. First, Staff were amazing and that’s it. Richardo and James. Room: 1207 Very dirty on check in. See photos. Bottled Waters had been refilled and top screwed on. Not fresh and I was just floored that housekeeping would do this. Floor in the bathroom was so sticky and not clean. The shower had mold. Towels were dirty. The bed was dirty. I called and James sent housekeeping up to change the sheets. She didn’t touch the duvet. Which I think had feces on it. Idk. The phone didn’t work. The shower was room temp and it was awful. I just wanted a hot shower. I ran it too for a while. The bed and mattress is hard as a rock. I came home with my pillows to find a roach on one of my pillows. The hotel is old and not remodeled. Given it is a very very old building Hilton has put bandaids on so much from lights to fixtures and paint. Carpet and elevators disgusting and sticky and dirty. Noise! Awful. Multiple train tracks on one window side. The other windows constant drag racing at all hours of the night. Crappy night sleep. Bar: The wine was fine. Menu looked not appetizing at all. I ate elsewhere. Hilton needs to figure this out. Doing an injustice to its employees and hotel guests.

1 night stay which we would have stayed longer if we weren't just passing through. The pool looks great and was very busy at 930AM!! Restaurant was serving late so we could order a steak at 9pm! Salads were great! Room was clean and there were local shops nearby within walking distance. The resort is located at the edge of a neighborhood and I cod have easily taken a nice walk through and enjoyed viewing some of the homes. Will book here again on next road trip for sure!!

Everything is fine. The new hotel is worth recommending.
