Top South East Lake Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Hoover

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious with very friendly staff! Breakfast was amazing…try the bagels! Plenty of parking. Would stay here again."

Drury Inn & Suites Birmingham Grandview

8/10 Good

"The room and lobby were clean. The front desk clerk who checked us in was friendly and helpful. The breakfast - eggs were good, potatoes were cold, and the sausage was overcooked and hard/tough. The other items were good. The staff at breakfast were happy and friendly. Didn’t use pool."

Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB

10/10 Excellent

"Great atmosphere. Love the Blazer's Grill. Super friendly staff. Made my stay there really pleasant. The gym was good, too. Everything actually worked! Only thing missing was a business center. I had a client training that I needed something printed for, and while they were accommodating and offered to print it for me, it would have been nice to have a center onsite where I could have printed what I needed for myself."

Best Western Plus Birmingham Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this hotel because of it's proximity to our family, who we were visiting. We were very pleased with everything the Best Western Plus had to offer. In addition to the boxes we checked, it's close to lots of shopping and restaurants for every taste and budget. We plan to stay here again on our next trip down."
