Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Homewood AL, Homewood

My visit was to attend a convention meeting with Alabama Baptist Convention. This hotel was a wonderful place to stay. The staff is very attentive and concerned about your stay. If ever I am in Birmingham overnight again I will choose Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Homewood for that stay.

Liked: It was clean, well maintained and very comfortable.
Disliked: Slow elevator.

I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

Liked: It was very clean.

Exceptional

Very good

OK for the price

Liked: Relatively up to date facility. Fairly clean for this type of motel. AC worked well, and the room had a microwave, refrigerator, and hair dryer.
Disliked: Room where the breakfast buffet is VERY hot when serving. Too hot to eat in there - very unpleasant. The entire lobby is too hot in the morning. Hall carpets are stained, broken mirror in our room. They required another $50 "security deposit" charge on my card, although I already paid Booking.com.

Hot and uncomfortable

Disliked: Room temperature was absolutely ridiculous. 4 adults in a two bedroom room. Unit in the room would not go below 75. So it was miserable trying to sleep while also sweating.

Practical

Liked: Bed was comfortable. Convenient location
Disliked: It was hot in the hotel Hotel needs updating

Good

Poorly managed and unclean.

Liked: Gentleman at front desk was friendly enough.
Disliked: It took forever to check in, and the hotel was very dingy. We went to the room for my colleague and the door was locked from the inside. There was already somebody sleeping in the room! We asked for a different room and the front desk person was very confused and not sure what to do. We left the hotel as it was already very late and went to stay at another hotel.

Disappointing Stay

Liked: Convenient location accessible to expressway and shopping.
Disliked: Breakfast was a disappointment. Hotel was being painted, so it was in disarray, and fumes made it hard to breathe. Paper bag breakfast was unnaceptable...rate should have been much cheaper because of this.
