3-Star Hotels in Jefferson County

Originally a mansion for a mining baron, the building fell into disrepair until an architect purchased and restored it. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and full of history and antiques. I shared the “Enchanting Turret” room with my older sister. The beds were far enough away that we were afforded ample privacy. The owner, Sheila, lives on the grounds and was a gracious host, offering both hospitality and valued advice about the area. On top of everything, it’s in a great area close to both restaurants and the airport. I give this establishment my highest recommendation.

The hotel is very good, the area is large, the staff is very warm, the breakfast buffet is also very good, it is recommended!

Very close to our venue. The hotel room was clean and spacious . Fresh new towels, refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher, sink, king size sofa bed as a comfy king bed. Hot water and cold Ac to boot. Breakfast was decent as eggs, waffles, grits and oatmeal on our 2 days. Fresh fruit and juices offered along with piping hot coffee. The market for after hours snacks and what nots is sparce. They need help in this area. Staff was polite and friendly.

This hotel is in a good location. It was clean. The bed was a little hard, but overall it was a good stay.

All good. The shade wouldn't shut in the room so we called the front desk. The young man who came to fix it was friendly, prompt and got it shut. Everything about our stay was excellent.

I don’t think the hotel was anything special, they didn’t have water in the room which should be expected for the price I’m paying. However Miss Lafaye was amazing. I used to be a night manager 15 years ago for a Hilton Property. She immediately saw how tired I was from my flight and got me checked in and my card with lightning speed. I can tell she’s very well trained and professional, and that made the highlight of my stay.

It is said that it is 4 o'clock to checkin. We can also arrive at three o'clock.

The daily breakfast was decent. I loved the fact that I had a microwave in my room. I’m not happy that a bottle of water in the vending machine was $2, though!

We wanted to stay in Irondale rather than Birmingham and although this property didn't have great or CURRENT reviews,the description said that it was renovated in 2024 and no other property had a better review. It was indeed updated in some areas and our room was very nicely appointed with new upholstery and modern furniture but it was not clean. There was a layer of dust (construction?) on EVERYTHING and long, dark hairs on the bathroom floor. The window glass was filthy. The freezer was so in need of defrosting that the door would not shut and we were unable to refreeze our flat ice packs. I would guess that no one has stayed in the room since the renovation and the room had not received a post-construction cleaning. The elevator was very dirty,noisy, and a bit scary to ride to the 4th floor. The regular clientele is obviously traveling construction workers. Staff was very friendly but unprofessional.

A nice business hotel with a free airport shuttle. After picking up your luggage at the airport, call the hotel and they will send a car to pick you up. We can arrange airport drop-off service even after 4 o'clock in the morning, great!
