The Spotlight on Best Western Carlton Suites

Comfortable Convenience Just Outside Downtown Birmingham

Modern, budget-friendly, and just a short drive from downtown Birmingham, Best Western Carlton Suites offers a relaxed stay with plenty of perks. Tucked just off Interstate 65 in Homewood, this all-suite hotel is under 6 miles from top music venues and the University of Alabama Birmingham. With amenities like an indoor pool, free hot breakfast, and spacious rooms equipped with microwaves and mini-fridges, it’s an easy pick for concert-goers who want comfort without the downtown price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its easy highway access and free parking, getting to and from shows is a breeze. The hotel is close enough to the action—just a short drive to Birmingham’s live music scene—but far enough away to ensure a quiet night’s rest post-concert. Guests also appreciate the early check-in (3:00 PM), giving you time to settle in before heading out, and the late check-out (11:00 AM) for a slow morning after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a suite and save
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist nearby
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans who need a quieter space to recover after a show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want free perks like parking and breakfast

Food and Drink Options

Guests love the daily hot breakfast buffet—perfect after a night out. While there’s no restaurant on-site, the hotel is surrounded by nearby dining options within walking or short driving distance. Each suite includes a microwave and fridge, making late-night snacks and leftovers easy. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll have plenty of flexibility to refuel.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site entertainment, it’s an easy ride to Birmingham’s lively downtown nightlife. From bars with local craft brews to music lounges and clubs, the city’s music-loving energy is never far away. Want something low-key? Bring a drink back to your spacious suite’s seating area and wind down in comfort.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, cleanliness, and especially the large, comfortable suites with sofa beds—perfect for groups. The free Wi-Fi and free parking are frequent highlights in reviews, and many mention the hotel as a solid value for the money, especially when attending events.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is starting to show its age in spots, with a few furnishings due for a refresh. Others mention that while it’s convenient to downtown, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues and nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Birmingham and want a spacious, affordable stay close to the action but away from the noise, Best Western Carlton Suites hits all the right notes.
