What guests think

At SpringHill Suites by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at UAB, travelers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near UAB and restaurants, while feedback about upkeep, amenities, and comfort varies widely across stays.

Repeated issues include one elevator often out or shaky, the indoor pool frequently closed, paid garage parking with some validation confusion, and inconsistent shuttle availability, alongside some renovation-related disruption. Rooms are spacious and comfortable for many, but others report maintenance problems (AC, plumbing, TVs, fridges), street noise, worn mattresses, and cleanliness inconsistencies like hair or odors. Expect a convenient base with standout service, but uneven facilities and room quality.

The staff were always so nice and helpful. My only minor complaints were that one of the elevators was out for the duration of our stay and the pool was unavailable. I did like that there was a lot of seating in the breakfast room and that the parking is in a covered garage.

Staff was great. It was the room, and the lack of care that is in these rooms. Multiple parties were complaining of TV's being broken, ac's not working, fridges not shutting. Our experience was there was hair in the bed and our fridge wouldn't shut. There was only one elevator working which was the case the last time we stayed at this location. This will be the last time we stay here as we had a similar experience during our first stay. Definitely not up to par with the other SpringHill suites we stay at.

Hidden fee for parking of almost $18. Only one elevator working and it sounded like it was going to break any minute. ALL the guests were skeptical of taking it. Lobby nice, but hallways in hotel were old carpet, gum stuck in carpet and old furniture in the area in front of elevator. Didn’t feel like a Marriott property!!

Nice hotel, conveniently located near more than 10 restaurants. We chose to stay here specifically for the indoor pool for our kids, but unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance during our visit. The kids were all in their bathing suits and excited to go swimming, only to be disappointed when we found out the pool was unavailable.

Hotel was booked as it advertised a shuttle. I called to verify there was a shuttle, and if it was available for drops off a nearby UAB hospital (less than a mile). Was told "yes". The shuttle was essential as it was for an individual with mobility issues going to UAB Hospital. On the morning of the medical appointment, we went downstairs shortly after 7:00 AM to request the shuttle, only to be told the driver didn't start work until 3:00 PM!!!

Our stay was 8/9/24 to 8/11/24. At the time of our visit, there is a mass renovation going on, so the place was struggling to be fully clean & the pool was closed. The pool amenity is one of the reasons we wanted to stay here, so we were very disappointed. The staff was amazing, kind, smiling, helpful, and very vocal to excuse the mess so there is no fault to them: customer service was excellent. I booked through Hotels.com and there was NO NOTATION of renovation. If we were made aware, we would have made another choice. I would have appreciated a cut rate for the condition of the building and having to go to the (2nd floor) under-construction floor for the ice machine as it was abandon and very creepy. Again, the staff were excellent, so please don't fault the service staff for the - much needed - renovations underway. Shout out to TaQuay (front desk) and Karen (continental breakfast): your smiles and kindness were the best!

When we got to our room it smelled like cigarettes. There were stains on the floors and on the box spring. Crumbs were also under the nightstand. I was shocked that there weren’t cleaned. The elevators were dirty and the flooring in the hallways as well. The front desk receptionist was very nice and moved us to another room. This room was extremely clean and smelled fresh. It was like night and day from our first room. I would still not recommend this hotel. The difference between the two rooms was questionable

I feel like my only criticism is that the breakfast could have included more fruit options, but really, that’s not much of a complaint.

Ratings would probably have been great, if we got to stay there. When we arrived to check in we were told our room was no longer available. Apparently a big group came in shortly before we arrived and “they didn’t know what happened” but they no longer had any rooms available. We had two very sleepy toddlers with us that we needed to get to bed, but were turned away even though we had a reservation.

The staff were professional, friendly and accommodating. We needed a late checkout and there was no hassle with making the request and it being given. We were given a bag with water and a small snack upon check in which came in handy since we were walking to appointments in the vicinity of the hotel. The room was very clean and beds comfortable. They presented a variety of breakfast items which began at 6:30am which allowed plenty of time to eat and freshen up before heading out for an early appointment. The only issue was that the elevator broke down and we had to walk up to the 4th floor. This was, however, out of the staff’s control and they were right on top of it ensuring the problem was resolved quickly. We would stay here again gladly the next time we’re in the Birmingham area.
