“This hotel's urban setting places guests near the UAB campus, but some experiences seem inconsistent based on what I've read. While the dining options at 'The Lab' offer convenient Southern cuisine, potential maintenance and housekeeping issues mentioned give me pause. It seems like a mixed bag depending on the room and the day.”
