Comfort Inn & Suites at CrossPlex Village
Check in was easy. Front desk was nice and provided an information sheet about what is around within walking and driving distance. There is a walking/running path in front of the hotel. Room was very clean and comfortable. No issues with parking, plenty of spaces. Will stay again. Thank you!

Days Inn by Wyndham Hoover Birmingham
Room was fine, property is a bit older. Breakfast was fairly limited, but the price point reflects all this. I would stay here again if I was looking for a good budget hotel. Staff was all very nice.
