While the UAB location may be a convenient one, it’s not the quietest, according to guests. In particular, you may find your sleep disturbed by the ambulance sirens at some point during the night, due to the proximity of the hospital.
The parking situation isn’t ideal, since the hotel shares a parking lot with the hospital, which imposes charges. There are some on-street spots, but they’re limited, and charge during certain hours, so it’s worth being prepared for this and including the cost in your budget.
The elevators can be quite slow, with guests saying that it can take a long time for them to get anywhere. This can sometimes lead to queues and crowding at busy times, so you’ll need to be patient, particularly if you’re on too high a floor to take the stairs.
