I haven't been to one Buc-ee's that wasn't clean. If you like soda pop, it's cheap at the soda fountain.

It will get pricey if you don't stop yourself.

This is a hotel room review, not a club review…read more Interesting check in (with security guard in the lobby). Key card gives you access, via elevator, to the 7th floor where all the rooms are located. Door open to what feels like an apartment building. No reception desk, find your room by name and not number. Key card swiped near a number keypad on the wall opens the door. Room has 2 main areas and a bathroom, all spacious and clean. TVs allow you to login to your preferred streaming service. Room was quiet despite downtown location. Most of the suites looked the same to us with views and square footage the main differences. Seems that the thermostat was throttled overnight, which is a criteria we use when evaluating hotels. No coffee machine in the room. Shower temperature control is a bit "too vintage" and water was basically cold or boiling. All in all a worthwhile experience but we'd try other boutique spots in Birmingham before returning.

The room was perfectly clean, spacious, had a great view, fantastic shower, etc. I couldn't recommend this hotel more. When I was driving through Birmingham, I couldn't be more thankful that I stayed in this area and at this hotel. The parking is free with the room and is across a street, about a 1 min walk in a keycard access only structure. 10/10

If you're one of those people who drives an EV but it's not a Tesla, this charging station in the…read moreBuc-ee's parking lot is for you. You can sit here in your vehicle and look down your nose at those Tesla drivers as this charger is literally right next to their charger. This area includes 4 CCS at 350 kW and 4 CHAdeMO at 50 kW. All 8 charging stations were available when I drove by on my way in to Buc-ee's. Yes, this is in the Buc-ee's parking lot and while you're waiting for your battery to fill with electrons, there's plenty of shopping and eating to pick up from the gas station. Also, the restrooms are fabulously clean! [Review 2284 of 2024 - 244 in Alabama - 23299 overall]

People, People with Paws, and Little People oh my!…read more Pepper Place Farmers' Market is basically Birmingham's Saturday granola goes southern parade, except with better snacks and a lot more dogs. Yes, there is fresh produce, baked goods (a line about a block long for one particular vendor), and all sorts of things you absolutely did not plan to buy. But the real hidden gem is the free people watching. It is top tier. You will see stylish shoppers, not so stylish shoppers (yours truly) sleepy parents, tiny children weaving through the crowd like they pay taxes, and dogs who clearly believe this entire event was organized for them personally. The whole place has a fun, happy energy, and even if you came only for tomatoes, you will leave with a pastry, three unnecessary purchases, and at least one strong opinion about someone's hat. Also, pro tip: bring your kitchen knives to be sharpened while you shop. Nothing says "productive weekend" like artisan bread, fresh peaches, and a newly dangerous chef's knife.

Yes, the largest gas station in Alabama (says me) also caters to those who are crunching electrons. There's no shade in this part of the parking lot but there is plenty of shopping to do while you're waiting.

It's in a desolate spot to say the least. Near Guin or is it Gu-Win, heck, who cares. I will challenge this dude at work about his name now, though. Anyway It's sitting in a Holiday Inn parking lot with absolutely nothing else within walking distance. I am sure that there are snacks inside, I bet you could even score a free continental breakfast if you just slid in like you stayed there and acted real cool. Just act like your deaf if they approach you, works every time! I keep getting distracted However on the SC, it's clean, it' charges fast, it's cheaper than Tupelo one, that is 150kw max, and it's located on the way, on a nice route, to Tuscaloosa. There are also four "other type" of chargers here as well. There was a bass ass all electric Porsche charging near me. I wonder how fast that is?!?!? I didn't go in the HI, but I think maybe there is a restaurant inside in it. I'm working on that new pool, so all the corporate events are in my future! '24 - 96/101
