Holiday Inn Express & Suites Birmingham Trussville, An Ihg Hotel

“Nice Place, Good Breakfast, so-so prices”

We stopped at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trussville after a full day of driving in the rain from Lake Charles, LA. We've stayed at a number of Holiday Inns during our vacation, and have been generally happy with them. This one was no different. Parking lot was fine, with a good area to park while checking in. Well lit and maintained. Lobby was functional, basic. Staff was friendly and greeted us on checking in and telling where to catch the elevator. The first room we got on the 3rd floor was about 90 degrees inside. Everything looked fine, but the AC unit was broken and only pumping out hot air. A visit to the Front Desk and they moved us next door. Much, much better. Nice and cool -- and also clean. The hotel is organized around a central open atrium. Usually this leads to a lot of noise, but for our visit everything was nice and quiet even though there were a number of dogs with guests. The King bed was comfortable, as was the couch in the room. Refrigerator worked fine and the ice machine just down the hall past the Presidential Suite. TV was great, remote worked fine. Decor was OK - pretty generic. Bathroom was with a tub/shower. OK. Basic and clean. Plenty of hot water and the toilet worked well. Breakfast was great. Everything you could want, plenty of seating, and decent coffee. So overall a good stay, though the price was one of the highest on our vacation.

“Good place for a traveler”

Very clean and comfortable hotel. The king bed was neither too soft nor too hard. We were pleased to find full sized pillows of varying firmness instead of the awful little squares many hotels now offer. There was a nice hot breakfast though it was not served until 6:30am which is late for long … more

We were pleased to find full sized pillows of varying firmness instead of the awful little squares many hotels now offer. There was a nice hot breakfast though it was not served until 6:30am which is late for long distance travelers. The only negative was the heating/cooling. The controls were disabled and routed to a wall thermostat where you could only set the temperature, so the fan kicked on and off all night. When off, the highway noise was pretty loud.

“Nice and loud”

Nice, clean hotel in a great area. Breakfast was awesome with several choices. The front desk lady did her job... but not the friendliest! Beds are very comfortable- however - they are kinda useless because we were unable to sleep!. We heard vehicles all night long from the interstate and frontage … more

Nice, clean hotel in a great area. Breakfast was awesome with several choices. The front desk lady did her job... but not the friendliest! Beds are very comfortable- however - they are kinda useless because we were unable to sleep!. We heard vehicles all night long from the interstate and frontage road. The people above us were stomping and vibrating the ceiling half the night with what sounded like a dance party! I would stay here again, but I would request a room on the top floor.. furthest away from the streets!
