What guests think

At Embassy Suites Hotel Birmingham, travelers report a mix of welcoming service and roomy suites alongside an aging property undergoing renovation, with many noting convenient access around Birmingham but also frequent maintenance issues and inconsistent cleanliness that affect comfort.

Many guests praise the complimentary breakfast, evening drinks, and the on site Ruth’s Chris, though breakfast quality and presentation vary.

So the place is under construction so there was that. The pool was out the three days we stayed which was one of the reasons we picked this hotel. The bathroom exhaust fan was louder than I have ever heard one before and the waffle maker was broken the whole time. Room clean and nice will look at other hotels when we come back which will be often my wife now see the doctor in Birmingham.

I always have a peaceful deep sleep at the Embassy. The mattress is magical. The front desk staff and bartender were extremely friendly and professional. You cannot beat the breakfast; no other hotel compares to their breakfast. They now charge for self-parking but it is only $5 a night.

We were disappointed that the pool was closed. We understand that is not any control of the staff. The hotel definitely needs to be updated. We were in a handicapped room. I didn’t pick a handicap room but it was fine. The issue was it smelled musty, the bathroom flooded into the main room when you took a shower. When we went to get breakfast we were early. Instead of the employee saying anything apologetic a put our misunderstanding of the time she was very rude. She stated “Coffee Only!” She was very rude and even argued with another couple that didn’t realize the breakfast times were different on the weekends. Lots of roof leaks during rain. In our room the carpet was pulled from the edging. One TV didn’t work, the front sink wouldn’t turn off completely for several minutes. The shower curtain and window curtains are not wide enough to fit.

Hotel is old and in dire need of updating. Dirty stained furniture…peeling paint…old carpet. $5 charge for parking…don’t understand that since I parked myself and there was no other option to park but in the hotel lot. Staff was friendly. Breakfast food was good. Cocktail time was basically low-end liquor, wine & beer but it was free. Will not stay here again due to old condition of rooms. Also the indoor pool leaves the whole hotel smelling musty and of chlorine.

We were okay with the property itself and the atmosphere. Very open centralized lobby with beautiful live fish and waterfall. Noticed the handicap sign was run into, pushed over (bent) and not fixed. We arrived during rain, and the roundabout door was not functional. Side doors to main entrance were not CLEARLY visible. Once inside, it was clear that renovations were underway for the main desk. The 2 desk attendants were very consumed with 1 guest and a lot of communication via a walkie talkie. Once we were addressed the male subject was very friendly and informative. Our room upon entry, appeared spacious and inviting. Extra bedding was already provided for the sofa bed. The bathroom was well lit but, it also was the most disgusting finds. From a shower which hadn't been cleaned, visible body hair, markings from previous guests bath bottles, an EMPTY shower gel and hair conditioner dispensary, very loose shower faucet (not connected to the tile at all) and a used tissue bunched up under the sink vanity. The room's temperature was an icy frigid temp until we completely turned the unit off. There was no adjusting permitted except when we informed the manager and he said maintenance could enter our rom and turn the heat on in our room for the duration of our stay.The rooms on either side of us were incredibly loud and you could clearly hear every door open/shut, every word spoken or yelled and it was quickly addressed by a security guard for the hotel. Bedding had body odor.

Liked open multistory interior design, large free breakfast and nice eating area on main floor, glassed elevators, nice Ruth Chris eating area and bar inside hotel, room suite design, and close parking at hotel entrance. Also liked when we had room issues twice, the willingness of staff at entrance desk to give us a another room. Disliked room condition - not vacuumed, poop-like substance on shower ceiling, dresser hanging doors removed, phones didn’t work, chairs stacked up just outside our room door when we arrived and for a few hours afterward, and no spare toilet paper. Also disliked returning to room around 5:30 pm and finding night latch blocking door closure, allowing anyone to enter room for what could have been most of the day. Didn’t find anything missing, room smelled, checked bed - didn’t see any signs of anyone else being in our bed, but wife felt uncomfortable in room having room left open.

Property is out dated and nasty. Dead bugs were in the lights in the room, gnats were throughout the room, and loose hair on towels and sheets. Bed was extremely soft and worn. I even had to ask the front desk for replacement bedding which also was not the best looking replacement set. I was very disappointed in my stay.

Room is spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. But the room beyond this was dreary and dilapidated. Doors to closet had broken off and not been replaced. Lighting was limited and the place felt like a cave. Decor and bathroom were woefully outdated. Air conditioning didn’t work on the first night but was fixed the second day after I advised the front desk. The first day only one of three elevators was working for an eight story hotel. One was fixed the second day but still should have had all three working. I was solo and the location was very convenient for my travel’s during my visit so I was fine but I would never take my wife or family here which is sad because we as a family used to stay here for several Christmases in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Sad how they have let the hotel deteriorate.

There was 6 of us and our puppy and it served it purposes.

The only reason we stayed here was because they had balconies if you know you know. Maintenance isnt here late so the only options are to move you from messed up room to messed up room. I wouldnt stay here again. The only nice thing about the rooms were the size of them.

I made my reservation on Expedia and when I arrived they said they didn’t have a room. I arrived 4 hours after check in. The reason we booked here is because the room could fit my family of six without having to get two rooms. I was offered two rooms but we were all separated. No main office they had a makeshift check-in in the lobby.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Upon arrival I was charged a large security deposit, this is not mentioned anywhere except a sign on the front desk. When I went to check out the girl at the front desk asked my room number and said “you are good to go!” What she failed to mention is that she charged my card an additional couple hundred dollars (without my consent) for a “room upgrade” — that i did not get or ask for. after going back and forth with the hotel for 3 days about this matter they told me to call Expedia because it was Expedia’s problem (even though it was the hotel who charged the extra money to my card) when the agent from Expedia called the hotel staff just began hanging up the phone on them. After this experience I will never be back and I do not recommend it to anyone else either. If I could get a refund for the whole stay I would, because 4 days after I have checked out I still do not have a refund for the charges that were charged without my authorization or knowledge.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, clean room. The property itself was a bit hard to find and far enough away from things that it wasn’t conducive to walking anywhere. The parking area was limited and always full, so we usually had to park in back, where it was isolated and not well lit, making safety outside the hotel a bit of a concern. Overall, I would recommend this property. The amenities alone make it worth the stay. Just be aware you have to have transportation to areas of interest.

We arrived on Friday and we checked out Monday and there were multiple excuses why the pool was not open. It was only open on Saturday from 12 to 10. On Sunday at 8PM. We tried to order room service, which was not available - which was advertised as an option. We had changed our prior reservations to this place for the indoor pool so our grandchildren could enjoy it. The vent in the bathroom could not be used because it made such a horrible noise. The refrigerator was the smallest size there is made, and it made a horrible noise. We made arrangements for four, but we were only allowed accommodations for three such as towels and wash claws. There were no sheets, blankets or pillows for the sofa bed - so we will not be returning to this location on our next trip to Birmingham
