It's separate.
Some of the hotels that people have listed are a some bit away from Kirkland. Not really far but 15-30 min depending on traffic.
Doubletree is very near Kirkland and is decent. Many people that don't live in Bham will say that's it's not in a safe area, though. I lived in the southside of Bham for 20ish years (and still work in downtown Bham) and I don't find the area unsafe. Southside, northside and downtown are just some places you just watch what's going on. It's not bad - just don't be stupid.
The Tutwiller is supposed to be very nice and historic. It's at 2021 Park Place, Birmingham, Alabama 35203 (that's on the northside Bham but not far). It's also fancier than Doubletree. Just a thought.
And Shel... Yes, there is a Ronald McDonald House @ 1700 4th Avenue South, Birmingham, Alabama 35233. I believe it's really new, too.
