Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
4 UAB KING SUITE+5 MIN WALK TO RESTAURANT is a modern, newly renovated, fully furnished condo-style unit in a gated community in the Birmingham–Southside area (listed under Bessemer, United States). It’s positioned as an “at-home” alternative to a traditional hotel, with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and free off-street parking—an uncommon perk in the downtown area.
Suite layout & in-unit features
The unit centers on a large bedroom with a king bed and a convertible sofa that switches to a queen-size sleeper. Comfort-focused touches include central air conditioning/heating, a smart TV with cable, and premium-speed free Wi‑Fi. Storage is a standout, with multiple closets plus a large walk-in closet attached to the bedroom.
Kitchen & everyday essentials
A fully equipped kitchen is provided with refrigerator, oven/range stove and hood, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, and a 12-cup drip coffee maker, along with cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. Basics such as paper goods and trash bags are also supplied, supporting longer stays and self-catering.
Amenities & recreation
Guests have access to both an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. The covered private balcony overlooks the pool/courtyard area and connects via a large sliding glass door from the dining area. Additional practical amenities include an iron/ironing board, washer, heating, air conditioning, and a smoke-free setting.
Location & nearby dining/transit
The condo is described as a short walk to UAB campus and UAB Hospital–Highlands, plus restaurants and nightlife in Five Points South. Dining close by includes Dreamland BBQ (about 204 m away), Chez Fonfon (about 1.1 km), Sauce & Suds (about 1.1 km), and The Garage (about 1.6 km). Nearby public transit stops include 15th St S and 11th Ave (about 565 m) and UAB – Blazer Hall (about 843 m), while Birmingham Train Station is about 2.34 km away and Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport about 9.2 km away.
Best for
This condo-style stay suits travelers who want a residential setup—especially longer-stay guests—thanks to the full kitchen, in-unit washer, and ample closet space. It’s also well-suited to UAB-related visits due to its walkable access to the UAB area and nearby transit stops, plus free gated off-street parking for drivers.
Travel tips
If you plan to use transit, the closest bus stop options include 15th St S and 11th Ave (about 565 m) and UAB – Blazer Hall (about 843 m). Drivers can take advantage of the free gated off-street parking, which is notably convenient for the downtown/Southside area.

What guests say
Reviews commonly highlight a cozy, comfortable feel, with particular praise for the bed and pillows. Guests also point to the sense of security associated with the gated community and describe the unit as clean and nicely furnished. Connectivity is noted positively, with fast Wi‑Fi mentioned. A minor downside raised is that strong air fresheners/fragrance in the unit may bother scent-sensitive guests.
