Top hotels in Smithfield
Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB
The Kuerig coffee maker was dirty as was the coffee space. The toilet handle had to be jiggled to work properly. Parking was good! Staff was okay but could have been more accommodating and courteous.

Clean room, helpful staff even though I checked in at the last minute around 11 pm. Also was assisted with late check-out the next morning to get prepared for an event I had. Great stay at a beautiful hotel.
