“Overrated and tried”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2009

This property has had its day - and its day is over. The rooms are quite worn, the bathroom grout is badly stained and mildewed in the shower/bath. The tub was very slick and when I called for a rubber safety mat, it never came and I was told on a follow up call that the hotel did not have any. The hotel lives off its meeting business and those who live far away who come to shop at the attached shopping center.

“Continuing to decline”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2009

person found this review helpful

I reviewed this hotel back in Dec 2006 and most of what I said then still applies. My main reason for staying here this time was to attend a conference being held in the hotel. When I arrived in my room I found the toilet seat completely broken in half. It was obvious from the doorway. That should have been caught by housekeeping and fixed before another guest got there. Maintenance was quick to respond and replace it. They still do not have wireless in the building but this time I did get my travel router to work. However they also still charge $10/day for their internet service. Very few hotels are still charging for internet services these days. There used to be a regular restaurant here where you could get breakfast and other meals for a more reasonable price. That's now closed. Your option for breakfast now is Shula's and it is overpriced. Not sure if anything in the mall is open early for the breakfast crowd (eating prior to 8 am). They nickel and dime you to death (parking, etc). There is plenty of free parking around the mall, but I wouldn't want to park my car overnight here in an area without security. Wallpaper in my room is peeling as well. Beds are great! If I weren't planning to do some serious shopping while I was here, I'd probably would have stayed somewhere else.

“This is a very elegant Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2009

The Wynfrey is an older establishment; well located for the Southern Birmingham Traveler. My room was updated and the bed was WONDERFUL!! Very clean and enjoyable. The hotel is connected to the Galleria Mall and you can walk right from the hotel into the mall; great! Also, Shula's Steak House is in the Hotel.

“Not worth the money at all”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009

Went with a group to this hotel for several days. Definitely not worth the money. No internet access except in the lobby (or steep price in the room). Data center computers didn't work and no one cared. Very high priced hotel. Location next to a mall is nice and it was clean. Our room was horribly noisy and no fans to turn on to drown out the noise.

“it was just ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2009

I enjoyed my stay. Although nothing any more special then the LaQuinta inn we stayed at the night before. I traveled with my teenage girls and the convince of the mall was great. That made the stay.
I read another review of the carpet being stained, ours was stained as well.
I parked my own car and was still charged $9. I would figure that after paying the price we paid for the room we would at least have been able to park with out a charge.
We ordered a roll away bed the evening of our stay, and a luggage cart for when we left. Both times it seemed to have taken over 20 to 30min for them to arrive.
It was a beautiful hotel, but my experice was as if I have stayed at any other hotel, but with out vending machine.
So it was just ok. The mall made the experience.
