<p>I’m looking for a recommendation on a hotel close to the Birmingham airport. I’m coming in for a short visit and will be staying in Tuscaloosa, but my flight out is very early, so I thought it would be easier to move to a hotel right by the airport the night before I head home.</p>
<p>I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the Holiday Inn right by the airport. The area is questionable but they have 24 hour security guard watching the lot. I did not have any qualms going out to my rental car at 5 am, they also have shuttle service. The inside I would venture to say has recently been redone, everything clean, very nice and the staff was friendly.</p>
<p>We recently had a similar situation and used Hotwire. We ended up with the Holiday Inn which is at the same exit as the airport. Not the best neighborhood but the hotel itself was fine. It was clean and had been updated. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you! I’ll look into that. I’ve bid on Priceline before, but never used Hotwire. What specifications did you use?</p>
<p>On Hotwire we specified Birmingham Airport Area. It was a three star hotel and for the night we were there it was only $40 - quite the bargain!</p>
