Top Freedom Riders Debarkation Site Hotel Reviews

The Kelly Birmingham, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

8/10 Good

"Our only issue was that our room wasn’t ready. We got in a few minutes after checkin. Not a huge deal, but aggravating."

Tutwiler Hotel Birmingham, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful building with a great history. The rooms are modern and inviting."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Birmingham Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay! Great location too."

John Hand Club Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice suites in the historic John Hand Building in downtown Birmingham. Many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Make sure and have a drink in the Club in the 20th floor."

Downtown Birmingham Apartments by Landing

10/10 Excellent

"This apartment was amazing! We changed our plans just to stay in and chill out. Everything was so clean and beautiful. This rental is top tier!"

Loft 308 - The William - Views over Carrigans

10/10 Excellent

"This property is everything it advertised! I knew I had hit out of the park when my wife, who was nervous and skeptical about my surprise pick, glowed upon seeing the loft. I got to see that big, beautiful smile of hers, and I knew I did well.The loft and the building are both very beautiful, and the loft was as lovely as the pictures showed it to be. Tall, bright windows, a warm and inviting kitchen with top-shelf small appliances (we loved the tea kettle by Fellow), and a really cool music/jazzy vibe made the environment very cozy.The bed slept well and the pillows were amazing, so much so that we looked up the brand and ordered some for home that same night. We only booked a one-night stay, but the loft was a perfect getaway for a quick weekend. It was very conveniently in walking distance to 2 awesome eateries: 4 minutes to El Barrio, which had the best queso and Tres Leches cake we've ever had, and 6 minutes to The Essential, which had a fabulous brunch. We spent most of the day at the Birmingham Museum of Art (we got to see an Albert Bierstadt landscape painting and "The Sorceress" by George Merle, which was absolutely beautiful in person), and that was only a 10 minute walk from the loft. Birmingham downtown is very walkable, and we enjoyed that thoroughly.The only real complaints we had was that parking was terrible, and very expensive if you parked in a garage. I'd recommend parking where you can, then moving your car late at night when spaces are available."

Loft 304 - The William - Earthy - Atrium Glow

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay with The William! Perfect location. The loft apartment was perfect for us."

Loft 303 - The William - Atrium - Chic - Walkable

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay at this unit! The location couldn’t have been better—it was right in the middle of everything, making it so easy to get around and enjoy the area without any hassle.The unit was fantastic as it was fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It really felt like nothing was overlooked, which made a big difference.I also loved the layout of the space. It was thoughtfully designed, functional, and made the whole place feel open and inviting.Overall, a wonderful experience and I would definitely stay here again!"
