Parking Notes
Guests are directed to use the “Air Garage,” where parking is free with a provided code. The garage “closes” in the evening, but the rolling security door opens when you drive up, and pedestrian doors with an elevator provide access after hours. Two-hour paid street parking is also available nearby and becomes free after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends.
Best for
Best for travelers who want a highly walkable downtown Birmingham stay with dining, nightlife, and transit close by—multiple bus stops are within a block and the train station is a short walk away. It also suits longer stays and couples’ getaways thanks to the full kitchen, in-unit washer, strong in-room entertainment setup, and a comfort-forward bedroom and bathroom.
Travel tips
If you’re driving, use the Air Garage code for free parking; the security door may be down at night but opens as you approach, and pedestrian elevator access remains available. For car-free trips, nearby bus stops at 20th St & 1st Ave N (roughly 34–70 m) and Birmingham train station (about 271 m) make getting around straightforward. Many popular restaurants and bars—like Paramount and Trattoria Zaza—are within a few minutes’ walk, so you may not need to drive once you arrive.
