Magnolia Loft Suite - Family/Bunk Beds/WorkSpace
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Magnolia Loft Suite - Family/Bunk Beds/WorkSpace is an upper-level apartment-style stay in Bessemer, positioned above a charming 100-year-old home associated with Birmingham’s historic Southside. The suite is reached via an exterior staircase to a private entry, then additional interior stairs to the main living area, creating a more tucked-away, lofted feel for groups and longer visits.
Layout & Sleeping
The suite is designed around a large, open kitchen and dining/hangout area rather than a separate living room. It includes two bedrooms: one with a queen bed and a larger bunk room with two queen bunk beds, prioritizing sleeping capacity and flexibility for families or group trips.
Kitchen, Laundry & In-room Conveniences
Guests have a full kitchen setup with an oven/stove, microwave, and additional cooking facilities, supported by heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Practical amenities for longer stays include a washer and an ironing board, along with cable TV and free Wi‑Fi.
Parking & Access
Free parking is available, with access to a rear parking area via the alley (14th Terrace South). The elevated, stair-access layout is a defining feature to plan for when arriving with luggage or traveling with mobility limitations.
Area Context
While nearby places are not formally documented in this listing, the source notes the suite is just minutes from Five Points South, UAB, and a range of Birmingham restaurants and coffee spots. This positioning supports quick access to dining and campus-area destinations while staying in a residential-style setting.
Best for
This suite is best for families and groups who want high sleeping capacity, thanks to the second bedroom with two queen bunk beds plus an additional queen bedroom. It also suits longer stays and remote workers with a dedicated workstation, full kitchen, in-unit washer, and reliable basics like free Wi‑Fi, heating, and air conditioning.
Travel tips
Plan for stairs: access involves an exterior staircase to a private entry and additional stairs inside to the main level. If you’re driving, use the rear parking area via the alley (14th Terrace South) and allow a little extra time for unloading. Guests have noted a couple of tech/use quirks (for example, needing to unlock the microwave door after cooking), so a quick check of appliance instructions on arrival can save time.
What guests say
Reviews highlight strong overall satisfaction and repeat-stay intent, with guests describing the stay as a solid value and meeting expectations. Communication with the host stands out as a consistent positive, with quick and helpful responses before and during the stay. A minor theme is a learning curve with a few in-suite features (notably some kitchen and appliance operation details), suggesting the space is well-equipped but may benefit from quick familiarization on arrival. Guests also point out the stair access (inside and out) as an important practical consideration, especially when traveling with a group.
