Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 655 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by STLGirl07 Not Worth The Money When I pay the amount of money that this hotel costs, I have certain expectations. This hotel did not live up to them. Our shuttle was involved in an accident before we left the airport and even before the accident, the driver was unfriendly and not helpful at all when I asked a couple of questions. Upon arriving to the hotel, everything was closed except the bar. I just wanted a snack, but there was nothing to be found unless I wanted to order from room service. However, I have an issue with paying $9 for a bowl of cereal or $15 for a waffle. Especially with what I paid for my room. That amount should include a continental breakfast, parking, and internet but none of those were included. As far as my room went, the room was okay. The tv had horrible reception and the shower was freezing cold even when turned all the way hot. The couple of times I asked staff questions, they were very unhelpful and unfriendly. I could not even find the pool because the signage was so confusing. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel and will not be returning. May 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by hosanna Perfect Bed I stay here once a summer for a two night stay to attend a business conference. The bed is super nice and the rooms are quiet and clean. The staff is nice and friendly. I would have given an excellent review instead of good, but for two points: There is a $10 charge per day for internet and there are not enough dining options. The room service is quite high. Other than that, everything is very nice and I don't regret ever staying at The Sheraton in Birmingham. May 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Larry Problem with water in shower On the morning of 5/9/13, I could not regulate the very hot water in the shower. After running the water for 10 minutes, the water temp went to full cold! We could not use the shower at all. I reported the problem to the front desk however we needed to get going. At checkout, I was awarded points to be used for our next stay which helped ease the disappointment. The scalding hot water could be a very serious safety concern for future guests. May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rory76 Excellent location I loved the fact yhat you are walking distance from the Civil Rights District, Downtown, and thethe Convention Center (BJCC). You are a short cab or DART ride from 5the star dining and some great attractions. Great place to stay. May 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pat123 Room not up to par water in shower never got hot. TV didn't work correctly only received half the channels. at check out I was offered 2000 points but cost me 3000 points to stay. Points never posted to account. May 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by OAMoore Honest Assessment The hotel itself is a great facility. During check-in, the representative didn't seem to be attentive nor willing to check me in. She never acknowledged me, another representative finally did. Once I got to my floor, on the Club Level, there was bags of trash in the hall-way next to my room; it was 5:30 p.m. Unacceptable! Someone finally removed the bags of trash sometime after 8 p.m. The Club Lounge was excellent. May 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Buzzell00077 Courtesy I was very pleased with the friendly staff, and am glad I was able to stay with y'all while in Alabama. Thanks for the kindness! May 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kara Yellow Water = BAD SIGN This hotel was a huge disappointment. The water in the sink, toilet and bathtub was yellow/brown the first time we used all of these and for one of the people I booked a room for, her water was this color for all four days we were there. The water pressure in the shower was practically non-existant. The water in my shower, sink AND toilet was scalding hot. The remote control for the tv was broken. The registration clerk upon check-in was extremely rude. I hope I never have to stay at this hotel again. May 6, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ozziebraves23 Unsatisfactory Room was not clean, didn't feel clean for the price, room service was sub par for the price, TV in room damaged, AC made noise all night long. May 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PapaGeorgiou Average stay Hotel was ok. The room was nice; bed was amazingly comfortable. The plumbing in the hotel definitely needs some work. In the PM, the sink faucet only produced warm water and in the AM it took a while for the warm water to heat up in the shower. The coffee machine in our room didn't work but at least the hotel provided free coffee in the lobby. May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by John12 Great night sleep! The bed and pillows were wonderful! To have that many rooms, it was very quiet. We had a room with glass overlooking the downstairs and it was nice. Breakfast buffet was really good. The entire staff was friendly. Perfect place to stay when going to BJCC for an event. May 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DP13 Nice Folks - But Grossly Inefficient Concierge folks were very helpful and friendly. But every other experience was with poorly trained staff. One day my room was only half cleaned. The floor supervisor obviously did not inspect after her staff finished rooms. May 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cindy1035 Not consistant I travel every other week and have stayed here since april. I always ask for the green choice. Sometimes I just get it other times I don't get it without turning in the ticket. The last 4 times I have always drank all the bottle water that was left. This past time I was charged $3.00 Sometimes they take all my towels and wash clothes even though I requested the green choice. Sometimes I get shower gel and sometimes I don't. Just be consistent. May 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by jimis Could have been great, but wasn't Toilet would not flush, had to call maintenance 30 seconds after arrival. Staff was unfriendly. Had to take cold showers at 8am because we did not have time to wait for maintenance again. May 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jay06 Unbelievable Staff and Attention tonDetail I can not say enough about every staff member at this hotel. They made a very difficult trip just a true pleasure to come back to the room each day and night. Everyone from valet, to the front desk, lobby bar and restaurants made it a point to call me by name and that shows attention to detail. I will be staying again soon and anytime I am in the area this will be my home away from home. Thanks to everyone. May 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Redface EMS I truly enjoyed the services rendered by the EMS group. Johnny, Ethel and Tes was more more present than my CSM from the Sheraton. They were there night and day. I thank all three of them and they are a valuable assets to the Sheraton Birmingham hotel. May 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DKGEO Valet Parking Didn't relaize until I returned home but Valet scraped my front bumper. I wondered why they were not helpful getting all of my bags in my car..... May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Red75 My recent stay in Birmingham A great staff of professional folks that did everything possible to make my stay a great experience. April 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappy6floor Needs Updating This property is conveniently located in the downtown area and is attached to the convention center. However, it is in need of being brought up to date. My room was not very comfortable nor inviting. We chose to be other places only to return to the room when we had to. It was a double that should have been a king. Two beds made the room cramped and you only had a small path to walk. A single king size bed would have made the room much more comfortable. No refrigerator was in the room of course, due to there was no room for one.. I am in doubt that this large property was sold out and I was told there was no way to switch to another room. When checking out, 200+ middle and high school students were in the lobby trying to check in and there was only 2 people working the front desks. It was approximately 11:00 am and the sign plainly says that check-in is at 3:00 p.m. I had to wait several minutes just to check out. NO sense of urgency was displayed to assist those who were checking out. April 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Will Outstanding as Always Overall our stay was outstanding as always. The staff and service was impeccable. I was just a little disappointed in the foods available in the club lounge as well as the short and combined service times; the choices were the most limited I have yet experienced at any SPG hotel and at all the other places I have been a guest of the evening service hours were split between Hors d'œuvres and drinks and deserts after. Nonetheless, I was made to feel comfortable and like an honored guest; thank you! April 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy6floor This hotel has a great outer look The hotel looks good from the outside and the lobby but the rooms need great improvements. The guest room we had the misfortune of staying in was very uncomfortable. The room had two full size beds, a table, a desk and a 4 drawer cabinet as well as a office chair. This was way to much for the room and because of all of the furniture we could not move around without being on top of each other. I was very surprised by the size and style of the room and suggest major changes immediately. Now lets talk about the bathroom which was no better and the shower was the worse I have ever experienced. The water pressure was awful it took forever for the water to get hot. For the price I expected the rooms to be spacious, the beds to be comfortable and the bathroom to be much larger. I would be more than happy to offer suggestions for improvement such as: clean carpets in halls, lobby and rooms. I would suggest to clean the furniture in the rooms and there needs to be more plug in. The ice bucket in our room was not only dirty but it also leaked and each moring the tray was full of water. Also to add more hazards the one plug in we could find was over the leaky ice bucket which was very dangerous. April 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by VolleyballHsv Sheraton Birmingha I was overcharged for my stay. When I arrived the room they sent me to was not cleaned. It took 1 hour to receive keys for another room. I arrived at 8:30 so it was unacceptable that late in the evening to wait for 1 hour. I have called and left several messages about my bill. It has been 3 days and I have not had a call back. April 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Smith8450 This Hotel Needs Some Improvement I was shocked to find that there was no refrigerator or Microwave in the room. My tub had an issue that the staff fixed immediately. So your staff was very good. Our organization was considering the Sheraton Birmingham for a future convention, but I don't believe that's going to happen. No mints on the tables in the meeting rooms. There's got to be some complimentary services. April 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aprice Hotel Location Great Convenient to conference location April 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by volleyballmom Disappointed Beds were good, shower was weak. Price did not commensurate with accomodations. Bell carts should be available for customer use - especially on Sundays. Pool was down and never was made aware of it at booking. Having to pay daily for wifi was totally unacceptable. carpets in hallways were stained. April 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Angie1230 Bad Experience I was at your hotel for a convention on April 19-21. When I arrived the lady at registration was very rude. I spoke with a manager and he took care of that. On Thursday night 2 doors down from me a dog barked all night. On Friday night a group of teens next door played and screamed all night. I called security twice and it did not stop. It went on until 4:45 in the morning. Then the dog started again on Saturday evening. I called security again and they came up and checked it but it did not stop. Then I was told that breakfast is $24.95 a person, that was ridiculous. The room was very nice and clean, but my stay was miserable. April 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by K1298 Was just okay :( The hotel & room were very clean. However the problem I had was that there wasn't any carts to load your luggage. They made you use the bellhop. The check in desk staff wasn't friendly except for one gentleman. They allowed the other guests( students) to be loud, yelling, and running in the atrium which all the rooms overlooked. This went on ALL hours of the night. Also, there was a problem with the water turning scolding hot without notice and my lock on my door was literally coming off which took 5-10 min to get in each time. Had my company not paid for my stay I would have requested a refund. April 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by katie413 One BIG drawback In general, I loved the hotel - it was clean, the staff was wonderful, and the room was great. HOWEVER - I was not warned when I booked (over the phone) that the same week as I was there (for business), there would be 1,000+ high schoolers there for a convention. The result was that from early in the morning until 1 or 2am, I heard high schoolers screaming, running through the halls, yelling across the atrium, and generally acting like children. Kids will be kids, but I was there on business and it made it difficult to sleep at night, or even to get work done in the evening as it sounded like there was a circus outside my door. The group of kids had FAR too few chaperones and kids were out of control. Good customer service would have been to warn me that I'd be there the same time as this group (a chaperon told me they'd booked almost a year in advance) and to recommend I stay at the connected Westin or another hotel. April 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Williams Guest Room When my daughter and I entered our room, we ordered room service, and began to get ready for bed. As I was walking to the phone I stepped om a wet spot on the carpet. My daughter stepped on another wet spot. All in all, there were 3 spots. The smallest of the spots dried over night, but the other two only dried some overnight. The next morning, I went to the Concierge, he contacted housekeeping, and someone came to dry the spots. That was satisfactory. That night, I went to turn the light out next to the bed, and the push button got stuck. I pulled it out, but the entire light fixture shifted on the wall. I unscrewed the light bulb in order to sleep. This was a bit concerning because I did not want the light to fall on me during the night. This is the reason I rated the stay average. April 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Shastar Worst experience in a Sheraton ever I have been going to starwood hotels for 15 years. Mgrs in the past have always been sympathetic if I ever had a problem with any area with the hotel. Ie. check in , a.c heat. Etc. I had a horrific experience upon checking in. It took me 2 hours to calm down. I informed the mgrs. Assistant mgr.. She could not care less . She gave me lip service about how she'll take care of me when I come back. Does she really think I'm a dummy. This experience with how I was treated by mgrs. gave me a very poor taste in my mouth as to staying in any more sheratons. April 19, 2013

However, unless strategic investments in U.S. public libraries are broadened and secured, libraries will not be able to continue to provide the innovative and critical services their communities need and demand.

First baby boy conceived with IVF alternative
London: A couple revealed that they were the first to conceive with an IVF alternative dubbed the `fertility sat nav`.
Marie and Mirco Martinelli believed they would never be able to have children after suffering three miscarriages in just two years.
They signed up for IVF but were told there was a two-year waiting list for treatment.
So they took part in a trial for DuoFertility, a ground-breaking temperature measuring device that promised pregnancy within 12 months, reports the Daily Mail.
They began using the device in January 2009 and were delighted when Marie became pregnant just after seven months.
Baby Alec was born on March 20 this year and is the first baby to be born through the device - which claims to be statistically as good as IVF.
In May 2008, Marie and Mirco married in Italy and decided their only option was to use fertility treatment - but lost hope when they were told of the lengthy waiting list for IVF.
Shortly after, Marie noticed an ad for DuoFertility - a small coin sized patch which takes 20,000 temperature readings every night to pinpoint the exact moment of ovulation.
She began using the product in January 2009 and was delighted when she fell pregnant just months later.
The non-invasive device comprises a tiny patch thermometer worn under the arm. It promises to alert a woman to the moment her temperature rises half a degree as a result of ovulation.

Jon Corzine's 'Global' Disaster
There was a breaking development that occurred on The Hill today.: A member of the financial sector made a poor decision, bankrupted a company, and was formerly an elected official.: No, it wasn't Mitt Romney — it was former Democratic Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine.: Corzine, who hedged against the European debt crisis, incurred losses in the billions, which lead to the collapse of MF Global.
One mystery that plagues this investigation is Mr. Corzine's David Copperfield act that wiped $1.6 billion from Global's client fund, which occurred days before the whole firm crumbled.: Dina ElBoghdady of The Washington Post reported about this episode in financial malfeasance that cost people their jobs, and their savings — but it wasn't too important since they relegated the piece to page 18 in today's edition.
Furthermore, it took ElBoghdady six paragraphs to even mention that Mr. Corzine was a Democrat because they party of progress doesn't dabble in such unscrupulous activities like this.: The report about Mr. Corzine's epic failure at MF Global was released today by the House Financial Services oversight subcommittee, but didn't mention any felonious activity conducted on behalf of the former Democratic governor.: : They're going to leave that to other prosecutors, who have launched their own investigations.: In all, "farmers, ranchers, and ther customers may never get back over $1 billion of their money as a result of [Corzine's] decisions, Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex.), the House panel's chairman, said in a statement."
So, if Democrats and liberals hate Mitt Romney for being a rich man who devours companies, then shouldn't they be picketing outside Corzine's residence castigating him for his negligence?: If any Republican acted as horribly as Corzine has done in managing a firm, like MF Global, this would be on the front page — and dominating the news cycle for weeks on end.
Jon Corzine is worse than a vulture capitalist.: He's an incredibly incompetent manager of people's resources, which explains his failure as a governor.

The Panasonic TC-P50U1 is a pretty basic model, at least as basic as they come in the 50-inch plasma category (that's a lot of screen real estate, mind you).

On Saturday, they overcame a 13-point deficit against Ohio State for their latest escape act. Before that in the tournament, they won close ones against Purdue, North Carolina State and North Carolina. They were comeback kids in the regular season, as well — a season that began with low expectations for a roster that got hit hard by graduation and other departures, then fell to 7-3 after an ugly, unexpected home loss to Davidson.
"I was a little frustrated because I thought that we were underachieving, underperforming," Self said. "I thought we were a stale team. I thought we were slow. I thought we didn't play with great energy. I thought the things we had to do to be successful, we weren't committing to doing them."
Somewhere in that mess, however, he saw the potential.
Much of it shined through thanks to the development of All-American Thomas Robinson, known for his first two years in college as a role player with NBA skills. He was allowed to blossom when he got regular playing time this season and is averaging 17.7 points and 11.7 rebounds a game. He was the only unanimous AP All-American and was in the conversation, along with Davis, in most of the player-of-the-year voting.
"We know how good Thomas Robinson is," Calipari said. "We all up here know. We went against him in New York. He is as good as they get. He's a vicious competitor, great around a rim, expanded his game."
These teams met in November at Madison Square Garden, a 75-65 Kentucky victory in the second game of the season. There wasn't much conversation about that one Sunday.
More noteworthy were all the historical aspects of this game.
Basketball, of course, was invented by James Naismith, who later went on to establish the KU basketball program in 1898.
Adolph Rupp grew up in Kansas and learned the game under Naismith and the next KU coach, Phog Allen, then moved to Kentucky. Over four decades, "the man in the brown suit" won 876 games and four NCAA championships.
So many iconic names have followed at both places: Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Brown, Danny Manning at KU; Dan Issel, Rick Pitino at Kentucky.
Come Monday night, somebody else could get their name up in the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse or Rupp Arena.
"I dreamed about it as soon as I saw the brackets," Self said. "I did look. I said, 'How cool would it be to play Kentucky in the finals?' You guys know better than me, but when do you have the two winningest programs in the history of ball playing each other? I don't know when. From a historic standpoint, I think that's really cool.'"

Smoker May Have Caused Retirement Home Fire; Dozens Still Missing
The Toronto Sun reports Saturday that an employee at the Residence du Havre retirement home that caught fire on Thursday, killing at least eight people and leaving about a dozen unaccounted for, says he's "95 percent sure" that the cause of the blaze was a cigarette.
The newspaper quotes Bruno Belanger, an orderly at the home in L'Isle Verte, Quebec, as saying that less than an hour before the fire alarm went off, he had prevented a resident from going outside to smoke a cigarette:
"He said residents are not allowed out after 11 p.m. because the doors are locked from the outside."
"Also concerned about the bitter cold, Belanger said he asked the elderly man to return to his room and wait until morning to have his smoke."
"The orderly said he went to check on the man in his room a few minutes later, just to make sure, then went to the kitchen to prepare the next day's lunch."
The deadly blaze began just after midnight, officials say.
The CBC reports that while "[the] cause of the deadly blaze has not been official determined, ... police sources told Radio-Canada Friday that the fire originated in one of the resident`s rooms."
Meanwhile, the search for bodies continues. The Associated Press reports: "[the] painstaking search through the iced-over remains" of the retirement home resumed on Saturday morning, with crews using steam in an effort to melt through the thick blocks of ice.
"I think we can all agree here today, that the 24 people that are still missing - I think we can assume the worst, but you have to understand that we're not going to confirm any deaths until we've actually recovered the remains," police spokesman Lt. Guy Lapointe said in a news conference Saturday morning in L'Isle-Verte.
According to the AP:
"Search teams of police, firefighters and coroners slowly and methodically picked their way through, working in shifts in the extreme cold about 140 miles (225 kilometers) northeast of Quebec City. The afternoon temperature was around 3 degrees F (minus 16 Celsius.)."
The CBC says that emergency crews stood down for the first time Friday night.
"The conditions are very, very difficult," Lapointe was quoted by the CBC as saying. "Our people are exhausted."
The Canadian broadcaster spoke with Alphonse Gagnon and his wife Yvette Michaud, who live in a home facing the Residence du Havre and said they know many of the residents.
"A visibly shaken Gagnon said he noticed a glow coming through the partially closed blinds early Thursday morning and screamed for his wife to get up."
"'It was hard to look at. Everything was on fire ... I can't even talk about it,' he said, trying to hold back tears."
"Michaud sobbed as she described watching the residence go up in flames. She said she was terrified the raging fire was going to spread to their home."
"'I said to my husband, "We're done for. We're done for. We're going to burn. We're going to die. We're going to die, too."'"

Islanders make Mark Streit the NHL's first Swiss-born captain
Sep 21, 2011, 2:46 PM EDT
Going into the 2010-11 season, Mark Streit ranked as a significantly underrated offensive defensemen and arguably the top reason why the New York Islanders might have been feeling optimistic. His prodigious skills and hockey IQ were on display during the 2010 Olympics, when he stood out alongside goalie Jonas Hiller on an over-matched Swiss squad that gave the U.S. and Canadian teams some serious headaches.
Of course, things fell apart when a preseason shoulder injury ended that 10-11 campaign. Combined with Kyle Okposo being sidelined for a big chunk of the season, it seemed like the Isles were doomed from the start.
Heading into this summer, the Islanders faced a touch decision: who should become the team's next captain now that Doug Weight retired? Some people argued for 2009 first overall pick John Tavares while others championed Okposo. Yet if the Islanders decided to break with the recent trends of naming a young face of the franchise and instead opt for a veteran, then Streit would be the obvious choice.
Arthur Staples reports that the Islanders decided to go with Streit, which makes him the NHL's first Swiss-born player to become a captain. The Islanders confirmed the news moments ago.
After scoring a career-high 62 points in his last season with the Montreal Canadiens in 07-08, many believed that the Islanders might get burned by signing Streit after a breakout year. While Streit hasn't matched that lofty point total in Long Island, he was outstanding in his two seasons with the Islanders, scoring 56 points in 08-09 and 49 in 09-10. The 33-year-old blueliner fought his way to the NHL, premiering with the Habs during the 05-06 season at age 28.
In my opinion, the Islanders really couldn't go wrong with either Streit, Okposo or Tavares. It might indeed be wiser to go with a veteran presence, especially since the team can transition the "C" to Okposo or Tavares once Streit retires, leaves for a different squad or fades from relevance. Streit only has two years remaining on his current deal, so it's possible that the team might move on to a new leader after the 2012-13 season.
Either way, it's a great reward for a player who paid his dues. The Islanders are among a handful of "wildcard" teams who could be playoff contenders as easily as they could have lousy seasons, so the onus will be on Streit & Co. to get the job done.
- bcisleman - Sep 21, 2011 at 5:04 PM
Congrats to Mark! A well-deserved honor IMHO. The key for the NYI will be the health of the defense and getting solid play from their goaltenders. With improvements to JT's and Grab's games, Streit and Ox here for a full year, Nino likely making the team and maybe Stromer as well, this team will score more than enough goals (I'm guessing 250-300) to make the playoffs. They will have to work on keeping their GA down well below 250. If they can do that, there really isn't any reason why they cannot make the playoffs and maybe even make some noise there.

Castro's dream for Cuba's artists
Chad's response to the threat posed by Boko Haram

South Africa's ruling ANC has dismissed an application by Julius Malema, the firebrand leader of its youth wing, to drop disciplinary charges against him, saying the hearing will resume on Monday.
"The NDC [National Disciplinary Committee] rules that the respondent's application to quash all the charges is dismissed," Derek Hanekom, the commitee's chairman, said in a statement on Friday.
The decision was taken after examining arguments brought forward by Malema's representatives to have the case dismissed, Henekom said.
Malema, 30, faces internal charges of "sowing divisions" in the ANC and bringing the party into disrepute.
His outspokenness and racially charged rhetoric have also made him one of South Africa's most controversial figures.
Five other senior youth league officials are also charged in the hearings, widely seen as a battle for influence over the ANC ahead of party elections next year.
Jackson Mthembu, the party's national spokesperson, told Al Jazeera from Johannesburg that the message the ANC was sending "is that all party members, without exception, need to embrace the values that made the organisation [what] it is today."
There has been a heavy police presence outside the ANC's Johannesburg headquarters after police clashed with Malema's supporters at the beginning of the hearing on Tuesday.
The scuffle left a police officer and at least five journalists injured.
Speaking at Luthuli House, the party's headquarters, Hanekom said Malema presented 22 arguments as to why the case should be dismissed and the committee discussed them for two days.
The hearing is widely seen as a showdown between South African President Jacob Zuma and Malema who has galvanised the support of the country's poor black majority with his calls for a state takeover of mines.
Malema has also called for nationalisation of white-owned farms and the redistribution of wealth.
Zuma faces a major ANC meeting in late 2012 when the party that dominates the country's politics elects its leaders.
He will be in a strong position for re-election if Malema - who played a major role in his rise to power - is sidelined but could be a lame duck if the youth leader stays in the ANC and helps others rise in the ranks.
The youth league would like to see Zuma replaced by Kgalema Motlanthe, the deputy president - a change that would almost certainly make Motlanthe South Africa's next leader at elections in 2014, and Zuma a one-term president.
Malema was found guilty of criticising Zuma in another ANC disciplinary hearing last year and faces possible expulsion from the party if found guilty again.
