La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Birmingham Homewood
Best Daycation out of my home. Very warm and inviting. Clean and the courtesy was at its hospitalities best. The area is perfect for shopping eating and having fun on one of the best sides of Alabama. The court yard is beautiful can’t wait to come back in the summer to get in the pool. Thank you ...

The room was not properly cleaned. There was no remote in the room. Went to front desk to get a remote and the remote still did not work. I emailed the manager but no response.
