My stay at the Courtyard By Marriott Birmingham Downtown At UAB was a mix of positive experiences and some disappointments. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially during a difficult family circumstance. However, I found the pillows and mattress quality lacking, which impacted my comfort during the night. Additionally, while the cleanliness of the room was commendable, I was surprised by the high parking fees associated with the stay. 😐

My stay at Courtyard By Marriott Birmingham Downtown At Uab was a mix of ease and frustration. While the hotel is perfectly located next to the UAB Hospital, making it incredibly convenient, I initially struggled with navigation and parking.
