The Spotlight on Travel Inn

Simple Comfort Just Minutes from Birmingham’s Live Music Scene

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly comfort at Travel Inn, located just off I-65 in Homewood, Alabama. Only a 10-minute drive from downtown Birmingham and close to Samford University, this no-frills hotel offers easy access to the city’s top concert venues without the downtown price tag. Rooms are clean and straightforward, with essentials like a microwave, mini-fridge, cable TV, and free WiFi.

Why Concert-goers love it

Travel Inn keeps you close to the action—with downtown Birmingham and major venues like the BJCC just a short drive away. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk makes late-night returns a breeze, and the quiet suburban location means you can actually get some rest after the encore. Free parking and easy highway access make rideshare pickups and drop-offs quick and hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable crash space near the music
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples enjoying a laid-back concert weekend
  • Fans needing a quiet spot to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who spend more on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, Travel Inn is close to several fast food spots and casual eateries. Vending machines are available for quick snacks, and with a microwave and mini-fridge in every room, it's easy to heat up leftovers after a late night. Many nearby diners also offer late-night and early morning breakfast options.

Nightlife Options

You’ll be just a short car ride from Birmingham's vibrant downtown nightlife. From cozy cocktail lounges to lively music bars, there’s plenty to explore before or after your concert. Prefer something lower-key? Travel Inn's Homewood location offers quieter surroundings within reach of the fun.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the low rates, convenient location, and friendly 24-hour staff. Reviewers often highlight the clean rooms and how easy it is to get to concerts, universities, and other Birmingham attractions. Many say it’s a solid value for a no-fuss overnight stay.

Areas for Improvement

The decor is a bit dated, and there’s no on-site breakfast or restaurant. Some guests have noted that amenities are basic—but for the price, most agree it gets the job done if your main plan is hitting the city for a show.

The Bottom Line

Travel Inn is a smart, affordable choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to rest without straying far from the Birmingham music scene.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Monique, VA, visiting Oak Mountain Amphitheatre

Disliked: No fan in bathrooms. Hot. Toliet sweated and floors. Just a place to lay your head after being out all night. Not somewhere to relax.

Very poor

Disliked: Honestly, I don’t usually leave reviews or complain, but this was completely unacceptable for any decent person. I want my money back.I don’t even know where to begin—this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. I was on a road trip and decided to stop here because I was very tired and just needed a place to sleep—but this turned out to be a complete disaster.When I arrived, the door wouldn’t close properly—I had to use a chair to keep it shut. Then I went to the bathroom and found that the sink didn’t work. I tried to stay calm and figure out what to do, but things only got worse. When I pulled back the sheets, they were stained and full of cigarette burn holes. There were no towels, no soap—nothing for basic hygiene.I didn’t even feel safe enough to walk to the front desk to report the issues, because the outside of the place looked very unsafe and we were honestly afraid to go out.To make matters worse, as soon as I sat on the bed, I started feeling itchy all over my body. I assume there were mites or bugs in the mattress. At that point, I knew I couldn’t stay even one more minute.I sent a message through the booking app, but no one responded. I left immediately and returned the room key. For just $10 more, I found a clean, safe hotel with all the basics. This place is absolutely unacceptable.The only positive thing was the receptionist, who was kind—but unfortunately, that doesn’t make up for how terrible everything else was.

Disappointing

Liked: Staff was friendly
Disliked: The room was dirty and in dis-repair. Smelled like mold and stagnant water. Room not as clean but saw no bugs. The room served its purpose.

Dingy place

Disliked: This kind of stay should not be tolerated. The place is old and I understand that but, it should not be listed on any booking platform. It’s not a family kind of stay. Pay up for more expensive stay, trust me on this one . I have booked 2 hotels for one night the night a have booked this room . Comfort in up the road is the place you want to book
