What guests think

At Courtyard by Marriott Birmingham Downtown at UAB, reviewers consistently praise the unbeatable location for UAB Hospital access and the generally friendly, helpful staff, noting clean, comfortable rooms and convenient walkability to restaurants and downtown venues.

Common drawbacks include frequent ambulance and helicopter noise, paid or awkward parking with occasional safety concerns, and an aging feel with maintenance issues like slow elevators, dated bathrooms, and inconsistent in-room amenities. Dining is on-site but limited: the Bistro earns mixed feedback, there is no complimentary breakfast, coffee can be scarce, and late-night options and room service are lacking. Best suited for hospital-related stays where convenience outweighs quiet and full-service amenities.

Love that it had a mini Market. Even though I didn’t use it, I love the option of having it there. Quick easy check in. Loved that the doors locked at night and only if you were saying there and had a key you could get in. Loved the extra rolling table and chair. Love the big space in the room. Love that the Tv was mounted on a flexible mount to move it around. Didn’t like that it didn’t have a safe and that it didn’t have a microwave.

I have stayed at other Marriott hotels. This one was very disappointing.The carpet was old and appeared to have ground-in-dirt and my sister said the rim of the toilet was disgusting. I’m amazed that there is no cleaning service or linen changes during your stay. This used to be part of good hotel practices. I will not stay here again.

I really enjoyed staying at your hotel. Everything was clean and top notch. Loved the oversized bath towels. I do have two suggestions. First. Maybe some larger trash cans, they were tiny and second maybe a night light in the bathroom. Having to turn on the overhead light at 2am was not good

It was great for that purpose, but everyone needs to realize that if you book for relaxation and quiet you will not get it, because the ER is right across the street and night and day the ambulances and med flights on the roof are coming and going 24/7.

TV could not be seen unless room totally dark. Front desk didn't seem to care about anything. No note pad in room. Sold frozen dinners in lobby but no microvwave in room. Lesser hotels provide them. Beds really low to floor and mattress sinks you even lower. Makes it really difficult for handicap people to get out.
