What guests think

Across recent reviews, Suburban Studios Birmingham Homewood I-65 draws heavy criticism for cleanliness, with many guests reporting strong smoke odors, dirty common areas and rooms, and frequent pest issues such as roaches, ants, and occasional reports of bed bugs.

Rooms are often described as dated with malfunctioning or missing amenities (e.g., TVs, hot water, seating, linens), though a few guests appreciated the kitchenette and low rates. Service feedback is mixed: some friendly front desk experiences, but recurring complaints about rudeness, slow or unhelpful responses, and disputes over deposits and charges. Location is convenient to shops and highways for some, yet others mention unsettling activity around the property. Expect a budget stay with significant compromises.

This hotel was adequate but very outdated. The hallway was dirty and it didn’t feel the safest. The room was ok but outdated. The bed was comfortable but only a thin blanket and three half size pillows. No chair for the desk, hairdryer or paper towels for the kitchen.

Half of the hallway we were on was under construction, debris all over the floor on the entire hallway. Everything smelled like smoke despite signs posted as a smoke free facility. Once we were in the room we discovered part of a vacuum on one of the counters, filth on multiple surfaces, rust on every metal surface, holes in walls etc. We got new sheets (not from the hotel) and covered the bed in order to feel comfortable enough to sleep. Once lights were off and tv was on an uncomfortable amount if bugs came out to keep us company. We just got home and bagged everything to leave in the heat until able to wash just to be sure. Lady at the desk was nice at check in though.

The buildings were not locked. Anyone could have gotten in. The stairwell and hallways were dirty, disgusting, and smelled terrible. The room was not clean like i would expect from a hotel that cost $170+ for 1 night. Stains were on the chair and carpet. The kitchen was gross. From the wall behind the stove to the fridge that was nasty inside and out.The bathroom sucked too. There was hair on the walls in the bathroom as well as questionable stains on the wall. There were ants on the table and window. I didn't even want to sit on the bed.

This property was so nasty. The entry doors were covered in dirt and mud. The room smelled like stale cigarettes. There was mold in the shower. There were no pillow cases,bed wa snot made,holes in the wall. A lot of sketchy activities between people outside of hotel. The only good thing was the front desk the lady was so kind and sweet. We checked in walked to our room looked around and checked back out and got our money back. The people knew it was not live-able. Do not go here!

I had a wait to check in, but I am patient. Once settled, I was tried and was pleased with the space, the kitchenette, and floor plan. I DO NOT like the roaches. I never experienced this level of roach infestation in a hotel. EVER. I did not over react. I stayed because of the budget and space and we had a refrigerator to keep things and we were only there overnight. I thought I could be tough, but I went to Walmart to get bug spray. I used it. It was only about 10 hours before the work day would start, so we settled in.

This hotel was awful from the check in to the room. Smelled of weed outside, in hallways, in the room. We were a party of three, but ended up a party or 20 or more with all the roaches! Had to take our own trash out! Awful experience, never been so happy to leave!

One of the worst properties ive ever stepped foot in. The lobby had such a strong smell, that it almost choked you. There was a clear smell of smoke throughout the hallway and into the room. Once in the room, there was another smell causing me to put my nose into my shirt. The carpet was filthy, the floors in the kitchen and bathroom seemed to have a greasy film over both. Worst of all, I had to stomp 2 roaches running across the kitchen floor. Garhered bags and left the room. Could not stay at this property.

I would give this property and staff a half star if possible. To begin, EVERTHING in this hotel is outdate, missing, or broken. I was charged $200 a night for a room with malfunctioning tv's, no hot water, no closets or even a rod to hang up clothing. Front desk was no help and didn't give a damn about anything other than charging your card. Then charged me 3 different "taxes" for state, city, and county. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, do yourself a favor and go next door to the better hotel! The entire property gives off a Norman Bates mixed with a circus vibe.

WARNING THE FRONT OFFICE WILL MAKE YOU PAY A $100 DEPOSIT JUST TO STEAL IT. The lie will be you smoke in the room. They have people living there that smokes. The entire hotel smells like smoke. The property is ran down. They have the worse cleaning service. So do not book with them the front desk is very unprofessional. They take the money and pocket it for themselves!!!
