La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Hoover
This hotel is extremely clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was packed in the morning but there was still plenty of hot food and places to sit. I would 100% stay here again.

The room was comfortable, but the hall and elevator were looking worn. Very convenient to the airport; the shuttle starts at 4 am which was helpful.
