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.

Just a place to sleep, welll almost.

Hotel was in a convenient location for restaurants and to get to out location. However, our room waant that clean. It was onvious the floor in the bathroom wasnt swept or mopped. The wall infront of the sink had toothpaste splashed on it. We did attempt to have breakfast on the first morning as they did advertise what did look like a decent breakfast. However, when we got into the breakfast area it wasn't anything like they advertised. Hardly any choices and then they told us the have a breakfast off the menu would be $15. Due to the selection we choice simple eggs, bacon and grits. Food came out and first bite of the bacon it was obvious it had been sitting. The grits were cold. The only decent thing were the eggs. I ended up having eggs and yogurt due to the good beinf vold and terrible. Not worth the money go around the corner and have a good breakfast it better. The second night there was someone in the room above us that kept running around the room with the heaviest steps and that went on from 4am until we finally said, lets just go. We left at 7am.

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.

My opinion if I'm paying for a meal it should be delivered to room, 32 dollar for two people. Most rooms offer free breakfast. Also the bar that's upstairs why can't you smoke outside, I seen alot of people up there wondering why,
