Hotels near The First White House of the Confederacy, Montgomery

The hotel has a central location in downtown. Close to the river and many restaurants. I arrived to an attentive valet who walked me to the desk that allowed for an expedient check in from a clerk that was very personable but not too chatty. The dolls behind the desk are a bit creepy, but that is the only bad thing I would say about the hotel. The room is well appointed and I was fortunate to get a view of the river. The breakfast was satisfying the next morning as well. Every person I encountered was friendly and accommodating.

This is an older Embassy Suites. The staff at checkin was pleasant and nice. The atrium looks nice. The rooms are old and dated. Also it was the end of summer and it was really warm outside. The AC in the room had trouble keeping up and so it wasn't real fun to sleep in a hot room as it faced the east as the sun was coming up. Breakfast was fine and was up to the normal Embassy Suites standard, although it took the staff a bit to restock things on the buffet. Was curious was there wasn't any gravy for the biscuits, I mean Montgomery is in the deep south I figured that's a must. Would probably not stay here if I was paying, again the staff was perfectly nice, but the rooms were tired. Parking was ok for the most part, but Saturday night there wasn't any and I had to park in the last spot in the service entrance lot of the hotel. Was really irritating not being able to enter the hotel with my room key from the back of the hotel or the side of the hotel, so I had to walk all the way around to the front.

This hotel had very friendly staff. The hotel was very clean, including the room we booked. The price of the room was acceptable. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who can appreciate a good clean and hospitable place to stay while traveling.

I enjoyed the Marriott quality when I stayed two nights for work at the university. I miss the free coffee in the lobby that was been replaced by paid beverages. The hotel offers a bistro with reasonably priced breakfast and dinner. i am not sure about lunch service because I am gone. Excellent housekeeping. Attentive front desk staff. Free parking Free wifi. you can join Marriott rewards for free upgraded wifi. Several local restaurants offer a range of prices and types of foods.

I stayed here for a week to attend a meeting in Montgomery. The staff was exceptional. Check-in and check-out was quick and easy, and every staff member I interacted with was friendly. The room was wonderful. Very, very quiet. I never heard any of my neighbors or any traffic in the hallway. This has to be one of the quietest rooms I've ever stayed in, anywhere. It was clean upon arrival, and there were no weird smells or other oddities. One ding that made the stay much less bearable was the ”smart” thermostat. Kudos to the chain for wanting to do something green and eco friendly, but seriously? Putting a smart thermostat in the living room? During the night, regardless of how you set it, it will go back to ”away” mode. And of course, if you put it in the bedroom, it won't notice traffic in the living room. I enjoy sleeping in a cooler room, like 67 or so. Going to bed with the thermostat set to that and waking up to 73 was not enjoyable in the least. Once I figured out the trick, if I had to get up for a midnight run to the john, I'd give the thermostat some ”activity” and all was good then. I enjoy having the fan running all night for white noise. The HVAC had this ability, but it was so quiet, it wasn't really worth it. Not a big deal though, since the room was pretty darn quiet overall. Plenty of hot water for the shower. Never ran out, never had low pressure. The pillows were all super soft. I'm seeing a trend with this. Seems like every stay I've had recently in hotels has featured soft pillows. Attention, hotel chains! Some of us like a firmer pillow. Mix it up maybe? With 4 pillows on the bed, maybe make 2 soft and two a bit more on the firm side? Plenty of outlets including USB ports, too. Super nice touch there. Since this was a Homewood Suites, there was a full sized fridge/freezer in the room, along with a microwave, stove, dishwasher, and kitchen sink. A set of utensils, plates, and glasses were also available. If you were staying here long term, you wouldn't have to go out to eat every night. The breakfast was good, no complaints there at all. The hotel has an outdoor pool, gym, and there are printers available. There's also a little barbecue area near the pool and an outside fireplace that appeared to be gas. One of the elevators needed a little maintenance, as the floor was damaged and needed to be replaced. There was also some minor repair needed in my room, with a towel hook falling off the wall and a leaking faucet in the tub/shower. There are definitely plenty of places to eat nearby. For longer term stays, shopping spots as well. Overall, the say was quite pleasant. I'd stay here again anytime.
