Courtyard by Marriott Birmingham Homewood

8/10 Good
"Have stayed here several times. It's a wonderful location for me. I love the bistro food. I was disappointed they have started charging $10 a day for parking. My only real complaint is that the internet was terrible. I had trouble opening websites on my phone evey day. I couldn't open the menu for the bistro. Streaming on the TV was working fine though. The rooms are very comfortable. I do recommend it and will stay there on my next trip to Birmingham."
