"It was a Nice hotel, fantastic burgers and the bar tender was very pleasant. The only complaint would be the street noise. It was constant, all night which made it hard to sleep. Oh, and there is a train close by but I would have preferred the train over the Fast and Furious outside our window. Make sure you have something to block out noise at night."

"Very unenthusiastic rude front desk guy. No greeting. Went up to the room he gave us. There was a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Thinking it was a mistake, we went in to find the room in disarray and obviously someone still staying there. Went back to front desk, no apology, just rudely gave us another room without a word. Asked for best way to walk to the Civic Center and he just waved his hand in a general direction without a word. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Would not recommend."

"so cool"

"Hotel was pretty decent but the breakfast offering was poor - so much so that I didn’t bother with it on the second morning"

"This was our first time visiting the state of Alabama, we came down to visit Alabama state. Debra, Dakita and the kitchen staff were exceptional, they went above and beyond to make sure that our check in was prompt and smooth. They were very professional, courteous friendly and knowledgeable of the Marriott. They set up my rewards account. Now the breakfast was southern comfort food, the kitchen staff, I have no words and I mean that, he was so pleasant and such a delight to my morning."

"Our room did not have a mini fridge, and the shower water never got hot. The restaurant had good food, but the service was unpredicatable (excellent once, and awful the next time). The elevator was extremely slow to arrive. Also had to pay for valet because hotel parking for free was basically non-existent. "

"Staff was awesome. Only complaint is I had to park in an overflow parking deck away from property. Not really a big issue. Everything else was awesome "

"Excellent staff- so polite and helpful. Great location- very close to everything we did. "

"Due to road closures we were unable to get to the hotel valet parking. Tried to call the hotel 3 times to find out how they preferred us to get to the hotel. No one would answer the phone. We were able to get to the Sheraton and ask for directions. The staff at the Sheraton were awesome. They told us where to go. A valet for the Westin was suppose to meet us at the entrance of the parking garage but never showed so we drove around the parking structure until we saw the entrance to the Westin. We parked and tried to get into the Westin from the parking garage but needed a key card. Since we hadn't checked in yet we didn't have one. So pressed the secutiry help button 4 times with no answer. So went to some elevators in the parking structure and found a very nice man who was a security guard for the city parking structure and he walked us to the entrance of the Westin. Once there, the valet never tried to assist us getting in and after waiting the front desk attendent finally help us and a few other customers in. Our flight landed at 11:30pm and we (family with ypung kids) were walking the downtown streets of Birmingham around midnight trying to get into the hotel. There were groups of yougs kids all over. Very thankful the nice security guard walked us to the hotel. Hotel staff were no assistance at all. Horrible experience. "
