We always stay at this hotel. The staff is amazing, the rooms are always clean. The parking is limited due to construction going on, so keep that in mind. Overall, we will be staying here again!

The front office staff, the breakfast staff and cleaning staff were all top-notch. The pool is beautiful and a welcome feature with the heat. The location is great- right across the street from the mall and Target. Five or six minutes, depending on where Student lives at university of Alabama. Falling in love with Tuscaloosa! Roll Tide!

The hotel was perfect! I loved the pre-game reception Friday night before the game, and the breakfast was fantastic! The hotel was clean with a spacious room. It is conveniently located with Univeraity Mall and shuttle bus service across the street. Bed was comfortable, convenient free parking. Outdoor pool looked nice but it was too cold to swim. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

First time we’ve stayed at this property since it’s remodeled two years ago. The gym & breakfast area is much better, the staff wonderful as always. The pool wasn’t open for the season yet but they allowed us to sit outside to enjoy the 80 degree day. Only issues we had is the remodel didn’t allow for any exhaust fans in the bathroom & not enough parking spots.

The hotel was fine, room was relatively clean except the floors were filthy. The area was also fine, the road outside was really noisy. We were also unaware that the pool was under construction.

The hot chocolate during this season was a great idea, especially for the kids. The only thing I did not like was that housekeeping was knocking on the door beginning at 9:30AM & checkout wasn’t until 11! But overall stay was great!

My only complaint is that the beds are much too high. I’m short and 72 years old. It was impossible for me to get in the bed. I had to go to Home Depot and buy a step ladder (an extra expense). I don’t see any reason why the beds should be that high. Seems like a liability to me.

Room was clean and spacious. Front desk was friendly. Check in was a breeze. Continental breakfast was good with a wide variety of foods. The reason I gave 4 stars is because check out is 11am and at 9am housekeeping was knocking on door. We had the do not disturb sign on the door. Then they came back knocking again half hour later. Felt very rushed to leave.
