Stayed here instead of the Comfort Inn that we used to always stay at on trips between NC and TX but am very disappointed. The rate went up $10 between the time I initially researched hotels and a week later when I wanted to make our reservations. My confirmation email indicated I had reserved a King Room, Non-Smoking but we... More

Dear BowlinMama, Thank you for your review and for your stay. I am sorry that we fell below your expectations. We do our best to accommodate all bed type requests. It is not very often that we are not able to. I apologize we did not have the King room when you stayed. If there is anything you need next... More

We were exhausted from traveling and found this hotel along the way home. What a great surprise! Rooms were large and comfy as well as sporless! Staff was excellent and very helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel. Easy access off the highway, close to Birmingham. More

We stayed here one night. We used our points and this place was great they upgraded us to a queen suite and it was a really beautiful room it included a little kitchen area which was great for our child to have her dinner. The only draw back was the carpet was a little wet near the air conditioner. Otherwise... More

Visited the Holiday Inn Express in Bessemer in Aug 2011 for a quick one-night stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room (King with fridge) was decent, and clean, but had a musty odor. The a/c unit worked great. The bed linens were clean and pillows were awesome, as usually with this chain. No issues with the shower... More

My family used this hotel for an overnight stop to TN. We were exhausted from being on the road. Check in was fast and friendly. They gave us a huge room for my three year old to run around in. The beds were so comfortable. The staff was amazing and very friendly. The breakfast bar was good. The staff taking... More

We visit Bessemer frequently since my wife grew up there. Since her mother passed away in 2005, we've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Bessemer on 24 different occasions that I counted (plus I stayed a couple of times on business). We have been very satisfied every time. We brought the children's bicycles on top of our minivan one... More

After a long drive from Texas I got to my room and turned on the air conditioner. Right away there was a strong B.O. scent emanating from the system. I went down to the front desk and asked for some lysol. I sprayed the room with disinfectant which helped eliminate some of the odor but not all of it. Not... More

My family and I stayed here after a day at Alabama Adventure. Room was very clean and the king-size bed was extremely comfortable. When we left the room to checkout, my young son had forgotten his stuffed puppy dog in the room (although we didn't realize it at the time). As we got into the car to leave, a young... More
