Kelly Ingram Park — Attraction in Birmingham

Great Value. We are traveling in November over Thanksgiving so it is not a great time because of the weather and there are very few people around. Hotel has a nice breakfast..make your own waffles, eggs, sausage and all the basics everyday. Great work out room with towels and water. Pool area is nice. There is a zero entry if you want to be able to walk right in. The fountain 🖋️ n the water is nice. My teens went in for a few minutes but it is too cold at this time of year. Dog friendly! (Plus there is a dog park about a mile away). They even have bones at the front desk. We were upgraded to a suite because we are diamond . The room was huge ! However only a sink, mini fridge (no freezer) and a very hard to use microwave. It was clean overall. We had a rollaway bed in our room and still tons of space. In terms of the gulf view, I don't think it is worth paying extra for, since you can only see a sliver thru the actual condos on the water. Good Destin location. Easy to walk to the beach access. We were debating between this Hilton and the Tru..this one is better if your main tail is to have easy walking access to the beach. Same area as the Home 2suites. We stayed for 5 nights over Thanksgiving week. Unrelated to the actual hotel...close to The Track (outdoor putt putt and go carts ..good location...

Use Caution when visiting this park. Beautiful park, but you can't feel safe. Homeless hangout. Before we crossed the street to check out the park we saw some homeless hanging out at the corner of the park. We decided to walk past them and continue to check out the park, but very quickly we were being followed by two of them and approached by one of them offering to give us a tour. We accepted and he was very nice. He was hard to understand at times but gave us information we probably wouldn't have known otherwise. But he did explain we were in the "hood hood" and he didn't know those other people over there or what they would do. He said if we ever go back, definitely don't come down there after dark. Even though the guy was nice, we were still cautious of him. Of course, being from Texas, we were carrying just incase they tried to do something bad. Which carrying made us feel more safe.We gave the guy $40 and he went on his way. Right when we got back in our truck, a guy came out of nowhere in a ski mask walking past our vehicle...definitely some shady characters down there. Very sad people can't go learn about history without being uncomfortable. The park deserves 5 stars...we went in the fall and the trees were beautiful. But the people around it is why I can only give this...

This is a wonderful and informative park to visit across from the civil right's museum and 16th street Baptist church where 4 little girls were killed in basement bombing and the other corner, author shores law firm whose family I spent many years visiting and did my divorce which is not one of my happiest days I felt like I'd lost a child for a finalized minute or two October 27, 2005. Sobering and I rarely drink anything alcoholic not even on wedding day the one day I did Not buy a new outfit at Monday between classes at Miles College. Left Biochemistry Dr. Subramanian class and returned a newlywed bride age 32 thought I was grown with my mother in attendance probably saying at last! I thought I heard GOD'S APPROVAL. Must have been the pilot light on the stove cooking all that meat his left side of refrigerator the first 2 years then it stopped working empty. That was the first major kitchen appliance I had ever purchased from the one his mother gave him buying herself a new one. She came to visit asking where's "Her" refrigerator. In my best non orajel voice I could muster to the sweet lady...
