Nice staff, good breakfast, great price, comfortable beds and big room, the only issue was the door which didn’t open easily (in both rooms that my group stayed)

We stay at Holiday Inn by IHG the majority of our traveling dates (which are a lot)
You can be assured to receive good hot coffee & a well planned breakfast each time. (& pool was clean & warm... perfect for a relaxation float)
This hotel may need a few touch ups- but the staff is superb, kind, conscientious, pleasant and helpful.
The only suggestion I would have is for IHG to get permission to open a road/ passage to the back side of Target.
The 280 BLVD. is really a "freeway" - and the access to & from anywhere onto or off of 280 is daunting. DOT & city of Birmingham should consult a different street planner.
But this is NOT Holiday Inn's fault- it's ALL of Birmingham.
We are heading back to Birmingham & proudly staying at this Holiday Inn again.

One of my favorite hotels until this week! I was given an occupied room. When I opened my assigned room's door, there was a man asleep in the bed. That was very scary and DANGEROUS!!!

We recently stayed for a youth soccer tournament, the faculties were clean and the breakfast was hot, always stocked and delicious! The staff was top notch; Marcus, Felicia, Nina and Keisha ( I may have her name wrong she worked in housekeeping/laundry). If we are in the area again we will 100% book here as the hospitality provided was some of the best I've experienced, four diamond level customer service with out the price.
