The staff is excellent and recognizes you by name. The hotel has a hip edgy feel and the hotel is conveniently located near area businesses. Best of all it is only about 15 minutes away from the airport.

The hotel is very new and modern. It is my preferred place to stay in Birmingham, although it is just a few blocks off the main drag. The lobby bar is very well designed and a good place to get a drink after a long day of work.

I recently stayed 3 nights at the Aloft while in town for a wedding. The hotel was in a good location (walking distance to 19th street, the main shopping/restaurant area of Homewood Village) and the staff members were all very friendly. The room was clean and the housekeeping service was efficient (they came early) and tossed the room daily. The... More

All of the ALoft hotels I've stayed in have the same. There are no surprises for me as I enjoy the layout. What I like best about this one is its location. There are plenty of dining options with walking distance which something I like!

I loved this hotel. Only thing is they say the rooms are sound proof? Nope. I'm laying awake at midnight listening to very loud voices from outside it seems ( we are on 4th floor) and loud laughter. I would like to get some sleep tonight!

Have stayed at this property on two occasions. Very friendly staff, nice rooms (stains on the carpets), great restaurant that is connected and great little diner around corner (Salem's). Hallways always dirty on 4th floor, housekeeping needs improvement. Will return but should have someone checking property daily, broken computer in lobby, etc. Fix or get new one.

I stayed at the Aloft with 3 friends when we were in Birmingham for a wedding. The location and proximity to Birmingham young-adult friendly bars was great, and the accommodations were fine. We weren't picky travelers, but I would recommend the hotel to others passing through Birmingham.

This hotel is not on the luxurious side, but is comfortably basic, EXCEPT for the room lighting. There are two lights over the bed, and they are operated by one switch. It is two on or none on. Very uncomfortable if one person wants to go to sleep and the other to read. The staff is really nice and helpful,... More
