The Kelly Birmingham, Tapestry Collection By Hilton
My room was really dirty upon arrival. The bottom of my white socks were black from the carpet, and the bathroom has peeling and scraped paint. The bathroom floors look like they had not been cleaned in a while also.

Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB
Excellent room, the staff was amazing, food from blaze was terrible, it’s sad that the pizza dough was so wet it broke apart. For the price you paid for a large pizza, shrimp and grits and a garlic mash, plus the delivery and 20% gratuity it was over a hundred dollars. Someone needs to reevaluate ...

The rooms were not cleaned. The staff is not prepared to greet you or help you the parking you had to hunt. The valet is down you don’t know whether you were getting your car or not. The bar was never open. The elevators did not work you had to use the stairs or service elevator for all weekend.
