The first night we got here and we put on our swimsuits excited to go take a dip. Unfortunately, it was closed. We were a little upset, but I guess this is a normal every week occurrence for them for maintenance. The concierge said it would be up and running again in the morning. I'm not sure why a hotel would choose a weekend to do maintenance and not a Tuesday... But there we were. Monday comes and he goes back and the Pool is still out of order. Upsetting to say the least.v before he left afternoon, it was still closed. The night we got here but supposed to be open at five. We go down to grab a drink and the bars closed. Needless to say we left. We came back late that night about 1030. I wanted to get a water as I'm a Hilton Honors member, but there was no one at the desk. We waited. We waited again. There was literally no one there so we ended up grabbing a water. I'm not even sure if I was supposed to pay for it, but there was no one there. The following morning, the hubs and I go downstairs to get breakfast. Breakfast is absolutely delicious, however, 90% of the tables were absolutely disgusting. Someone bust them, but no one had washed them. Embassy suites have a lot of greenery and indoor spaces that make you feel like you're outdoors in a park. This embassy suites does not have that same park like vibe. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is good. Outside of that do not expect a lot of perks or frills. It's not a bad hotel by any means, it's just very dated without enough staff support.

I usually go to the Emagine Novi, but the movie I wanted to see wasn't playing at a time that…read moreworked for me. I saw that it was playing at the Palladium at a more convenient time, so I decided to there.. I'd actually forgotten about this theater. It was odd to me that the theater is on the 4th floor; I wasn't sure I was in the right place, and because I was there at an odd time (early Friday afternoon), there weren't any other people around. The young man at the concession stand (where they were also selling tickets) was very kind and courteous; he even asked if the amount of butter on my popcorn was ok. The theater area seems very upscale. There's a piano playing, and just a nice ambiance. The theaters themselves have the reclining seats and are comfortable. It was a little chilly in there (I was the only patron for a while, and then one other person entered the theater, so it was basically a private showing!), so I was glad to have my jacket as a blanket. The only thing I really didn't like was the parking situation. Yes, Birmingham gives you 2 hours free parking in the structures, but the movie runs just under that amount of time, and by the time you walk to & from the theater, you're over the 2 hours and end up having to pay.

I've been going to Emagine Palladium for more than 25 years, and it's always been a reliably great…read moreexperience. The seats are comfortable, the sound is excellent, and I've always appreciated how smooth everything usually runs. Last night, though, was disappointing. I always get a popcorn bucket with the free refill, and when it's time for that refill, I simply walk up to the counter and they take care of it. This time, I was told I had to go all the way back to the end of the line. The line was long--easily a 15-20 minute wait. That left me with two choices: miss a big chunk of my movie or go back to my seat without popcorn. I chose the latter. If this is a new policy, it really doesn't make sense. A dedicated spot for refills would solve the issue and keep the experience consistent with what longtime customers expect.
