Hotel is clean and the staff is awesome! We were there for soccer and it was close to the stadium. My only complaint would be it’s a little loud if your room is next to the street but other than that I would highly recommend.

Great stay

Nice hotel and nice, clean. Took away one star just because they didn’t have a roll away bed as requested in the notes. There were 3 college students, and 2 beds. The girl slept in one bed and the boys had to share one. It would have been nice to have an extra bed for one of them, but otherwise the stay was great.

Best in Tuscaloosa

The hotel really exceeded my expectations. My room was pretty spacious. Very modern room with great bedding, couch was really cute and could be used for a bed as well. The bathroom and shower were really nice. I know Tuscaloosa is pretty much a small town but this hotel gives big city energy! Every front desk associate I encountered was very pleasant and had a great attitude. If I visit the city again I will definitely stay here.
