Clean, Friendly & Budget Conscious!

Granted, it is an older property, but it is also very budget friendly. The room was quite spacious and suited our needs perfectly. Definitely worth taking a look at if you were budget conscious and just want something that is clean and in a good location. Front desk service was very congenial with our late check in. Friendly staff.

Better conditions in a war zone!

Toilet when flushed would back up and almost overflow, then after 30 minutes you could try to flush again to no avail. The bed was like sleeping on a piece of plywood. I slept better in some of the places i was in in Iraq and Afghanistan in the desert!

Don’t try to save a buck staying here

We were put in a terrible room in the back corner with a view of old toilets. The a/c wasn’t on. The door didn’t fit you could see light all the way around it. There was dirty underwear behind the bathroom door. Mattress was terrible. I just left. I msg the hotel and they did offer to switch me but I was already out. They could keep my money. Why put a person in such a room to begin with. The upside the staff was very friendly

Stay somewhere - anywhere - else

Motel was dirty, Floors were sticky, faucets constantly dripping, didn't even take a shower there as it was disgusting. Mattress may have been original from the 1990's - extremely lumpy and hard - like trying to sleep on lumpy plywood. Ancient flat pillows, and 2 super thin worn out small towels. Noisy as well - almost forgot, the fan in the bathroom (comes on with the light) should have a warning label about hearing damage! Stay far away from this Budget Inn. The only positive was that they were in Tuscaloosa, and had rooms for under $200/night graduation weekend. I would've stayed in Birmingham had I known the deplorable condition of the room beforehand.
