AL Birmingham Amerisuites Inverness

[Travelnow]

This is a pleasant new facility located just off Highway 280 at Inverness Parkway. Check-in was painless and request for non-smoking king was granted with no problem. Parking lot was only about 1/3 full on a Saturday evening but there was at least 1 bus of high school softball players there. All rooms are interior and there are 6 floors. Our room was on a non-smoking floor and was pleasantly clean and comfortable. As with other Amerisuites, there is a half wall between an area with a sleeper sofa, chair, desk and efficiency kitchen and the bedroom area. The bath sink was outside the tub/shower/toilet area. Large tv with good selection of channels and HBO, even a VCR. The pool was outside and heated (?) but we did not try it. Bed was a little soft but ok. Shower was fine with good pressure. The linens were ok. Breakfast the next morning had a good selection, even eggs and sausage. There is a coffee maker and coffee in the room, even though coffee is available in the lobby. Plenty of free convenient parking. No problems with climate control. There is free wireless in the lobby and in the room. No unpleasant noises and there is even a small lake area just behind the hotel in an office park. This is a very safe area with lots of shopping and restaurants. We have gotten this hotel 2 times recently and it seems to come up a lot. Our lowest price has been $38. The Courtyard in this area is nicer but it does not have a free breakfast.
