    “Let's start with valet service 1st Daniel Thornton, I had to get his name. This gentleman showed the best southern decorum when he approached to service me at the valet service. I mean I was at an awe of the respect Daniel Thornton provided. Customer service is at an low these days. I just want to say thanks Daniel Thornton and staff for the service you provided at this hotel. The hotel staff was nice, clean kinda had a new York southern touch by being on the corner. The rooms were beautiful, housekeeping service was great. I'm still stuck on the valet service from Daniel Thornton. 10/10 thumbs up.”

    “Daniel was an awesome experience! He's so professional and charming. Daniel also explained everything clearly to where my checking in process went smooth. Daniel was so clean in his uniform and my wife kept telling me how good he smelled and looked! Daniel also helped us with all our luggage and walked us to the door, Daniel's hands were full and still managed to open the door for my family. My kids have been talking about Daniel since we left. Daniel is a complete gentleman and a great asset to the Hotel.”

  • Great Stay with a Few Dining Drawbacks

    8/10

    kaycharmaine986 · Business · 2026-07-24

    “Overall, I'd recommend staying here. Just be sure to have other food options in mind, as the on-site dining is fairly limited. The snack area had a very small selection. The Yard was enjoyable, but its hours were limited. The rooftop offered beautiful views, but the service left a lot to be desired. It was advertised to open at 4:00 PM, but the doors remained locked past opening time, and once they did open, we were told the kitchen couldn't serve food for another hour because the oven was still heating up. On the positive side, the valet service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our stay.”

    “We absolutely love coming to Birmingham! Work brings us to town quite often! We stayed in a King room for 4 nights. The hotel is centered around some of the best restaurants in town. Conveniently located, not far from the airport or I20. We can always count on the amazing staff at The Elyton to make us feel right at home! A special shout out to Alexis, who kept our room tidy and well stocked; and Terrell, who made sure our car was taken care of when needed. We look forward to our stay several times a month.”

    “My wife and I spent one night at the Elyton in the course of a road trip. The hotel appears to be in a nicely re-purposed building. We were upgraded to a corner room, which was comfortable enough. The hotel staff was friendly. We inadvertently left something behind when we checked out, and the front desk staff was extremely helpful arranging to send it to us. There are several very nice restaurants within a block or two of the hotel. The Civil Rights Institute, which is a must, is about a fifteen minute walk, as is the art museum. Overall, the hotel was a good choice for us.”
