Days Inn by Wyndham Hoover Birmingham
The staff were friendly at check in and check out, the room was clean, the air/heat worked, and the waffle maker was appreciated. We got new towels when we needed them and I liked the room did not have carpet.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood
The room was spotless and nice, cleaning never came by though and the walls are super thin. So just hope your neighbors aren’t going at it like mine did.
