Residence Inn by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at UAB

8/10 Good

"The lobby was nice, however, the room was little disappointing. The room did not feel well maintained. The shower nozzle didn’t work and the walls were in need of a cleaning/painting. I will say…the manager checked us in and he was the NICESTTTT!!!!!"
