Absolutely amazing resort with superb location in the Gulf State Park. Guest rooms are very comfortable, clean and each has a balcony. The beds and bed linen are wonderful. The pool is very nice and a quick access to the beach is convenient. You may rent a beach umbrella and chairs as well. We rode complimentary bikes through the State Park. Food at the FoodCraft and Perch was delicious. The team members were friendly, kind and helpful. They spoke highly about their workplace. At the restaurant Joey, Tyler, Madison, Kevin and Carrie (pool side bartender) delivered 5 star service every time. The property is well designed, has many eco and sustainability programs. We liked that electric car charging stations were onsite. Finally, all areas are clean and constantly attended. I highly recommend this resort for leisure or business trip (meeting space is available). We will be back! Great job!!

My son and I were in Birmingham for twelve days for sensory therapy. We stayed at the Grandville Drury Inn. The entire staff was fantastic and friendly. They serve both breakfast and supper. Both meals were excellent, and the coffee is good. The hotel is exceptionally clean and well-kept.

The Hyatt made it less painful when a pothole on I-65 took out one of my tires on our way home to Dothan. They found us a room and Ms. Mary at the front desk allowed a late checkout so out repairs could be completed. Then Antoinne Longmire really helped us out. He saw that we looked like we needed help and offered my children and I a ride to the repair shop to pick up our car. He helped with our luggage and shared an inspiring personal story. Just what we needed. Here is a pic of him with my son. What a great guy!

First time staying at a Drury Inn, and it was very nice. Comfortable beds, nice sitting chair . Love the free popcorn in the afternoons, that's a nice welcome. The free breakfast in the morning was very good. The ladies do an excelent job setting it up, and keeping everything nice and clean. Could use a few more hand santitizers around the food area . The shower area in our room was very small, and needed updating. The vent in the shower does not come on, so the area gets all steamed up. They said that they turn on a ventilation system in all the rooms during the day at the same time. That did not make sense to me! Anyway, other than that, it was a nice stay.
