    The Cobb Lane B&B was nice, clean, and felt very safe (its across the street from the police station). Its in a great location to the Five Points area and is walkable to several restaurants/shops. We stayed in the Periwinkle room and the TV in the closet was a little unnecessary. A flat screen TV in the main large dresser would be a nice and easy upgrade. The dressed mannequin in the room as a little strange, and all the dresser surfaces were filled so there wasn't as much room to put our things. The food was good, but not great. Our room was extremely hot during the night, even when the hallways were a comfortable temperature. According to the other guests in that room, there was an issue with the temperature in that room being too cold. Overall, we enjoyed our first Bed and Breakfast experience.

    Loved it!

    I used to live in Birmingham, Alabama near this bed and breakfast. I always thought it was the cutest house but never had a reason to stay there since I already lived close by. Since then, I have relocated to Dallas, Texas but came back to celebrate my birthday in Birmingham with friends. Two of our favorite places in Birmingham are J. Clyde and Blue Monkey which are practically in the backyard of Cobb Lane B&B. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly making our stay very enjoyable. We missed our alarm so weren't able to be down when breakfast was served so she sweetly placed a note on our door to inform us that she had left coffee and juice on the table and our plates of food covered in the kitchen. This was very thoughtful and appreciated. We felt immense amount of privacy and the rooms are beautifully decorated. I definitely recommend staying here if you are in Birmingham.

    Recent overnight stay - very clean, comfortable. Excellant choice for someone needing to be close to the UAB hospital/university campus.

    The company over breakfast was delightful, and my room was very comfortable and lovely. I notice now that the description of the room I had (Camelia) indicates there's cable television, but I never saw a TV anywhere, even in the living room.

    Innkeeper Response
    We thank this guest for their kappreciative comments. Their TV was in their closet, situated for favorable viewing from their bed in typical hotel style with remote control. Perhaps they didn't put their clothes away in their closet since they would have seen their TV which has all networks and 45 channels. Each guest room has a TV with all the channels. We thank them for coming.
