Daxton Hotel Birmingham, Curio Collection by Hilton

The room was excellent. Service at the bar was poor. We had to wait 15 minutes for a server to approach us and finally had to get up and ask for someone. She was as unfriendly as can be. Not good. Coffee service in the morning Saturday 1/2 hour late. Manager claimed short staffed.

It was a beautiful hotel.

The staff were wonderful, polite and professional.

I decided to treat myself this time, and what a treat it was. The Daxton is very, very nice. The layout of their entryway and ground floor is very open and inviting. As you walk in, the bar/lounge is to the left. Further back along the same line is their restaurant. I do appreciate their nod to security. You need a room key to access any floor above the ground floor. Each floor has its own pantry. The pantry is a small room where you can get snacks and nonalcoholic drinks, like sodas and water. All this is included in your rate. The room is very cool. The bathroom is off a small hallway. Inside the bathroom, there is a water closet that separates the toilet from the sink and shower. They provided me with lots of towels at least five complete sets. The room's ceiling has crown molding. There are plenty of outlets. My bed had plenty of pillows, too. My count was 8 full sized pillows. Inside the closet are two cotton terrycloth robes and a pair of slippers. It was a great stay!! My "spots" require improved operational attention. I am confused why a member of the Valet team was spending so much time at the front desk/check in, check out area. I said "hello" to a member of the housekeeping team. They looked at me like I was crazy. Once management addresses these two items, I have no doubt that this establishment will be a perennial five-star gem and a shining jewel in the Hilton crown.

I love how the place looks
