“Great for a getaway”
My boyfriend and I wanted to get away from Atlanta, so we chose this brand new Hampton Inn just outside of Birmingham. This hotel opened in February 2011, so we knew it would be new, clean, and nicely decorated, just the way we like our Hampton Inns. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. However, there were a few things that could have been improved:
--no towels at the pool--so make sure to either pack yours, or get one from your room
--the staff is super friendly and nice, but they seem to still be figuring a few things out--pack a little extra patience
--we checked out of our first room and moved into a second room, but the computer system didn't update to reflect our move, so housekeeping did not come by--we had to request clean towels, etc.
Otherwise, it's a lovely place to stay. There is a big shoppping area right next to the hotel--you can walk to get a beer, walk to a movie, then walk home. Perfect! Also, there are beautiful views all around you--not necessarily from your window, but from the pool, definitely. Seems like a golfer's paradise, with a big course right next door also.
Overall, we would absolutely consider this for our next skip-town-go-away-and-do-nothing-for-the-weekend getaway.
