What guests think
Reviews of Tourway Inn describe a budget, no-frills motel near downtown, with many guests praising friendly staff, in-room fridge/microwave, and convenient access, while others report cleanliness inconsistencies, Wi-Fi issues, and a rough-feeling surrounding area.
Several appreciate the value for money and well-lit parking, and a few mention quiet nights. Recurring complaints include pests, hard mattresses, and maintenance problems (TV, outlets, plumbing), occasional construction noise, and check-in through a window. Expect a basic place to sleep near downtown rather than a polished hotel.

Give this place 6 months and it will go from good to better. They are renovating and it will be a very good motel when they are done. Small improvements like bath mats, fitted sheets, tissue boxes, and more electronic charging options would greatly improve things.

This is a very good (clean and comfortable) motel and the parking is probably the most secure in town. . . . I had a car full of stuff and, based on reviewers comments, none of the major hotels' parking inspires confidence. At Tourway the parking lot is well lit and has a fence that doesn't completely enclose but is enough to prevent people from casually walking through. And you can park right in front of the window of your room. And it's a good motel -- I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I've stayed there many times before and everything was fine. This time there was construction noise before 7am. I'm sure that many things will be new or improved, so in the future it will be back to a really good place to stay.

The room was ok. Had to check-in from a little window outside with bulletproof glass. It is in a rough part of town, and you better take all your belongings inside with you every day. I had to request new towels and wash cloth; they were not provided after the 1st night.

Felt very unsafe, particularly with all the random men wondering around the carpark, not guests, who also are there when you check in through the window- would have preferred to be able to go into reception. Filthy walls, dirty fridge, location isn’t near anything. Bed was comfy enough

It was 37 degrees and I had ro verify my reservation outside not indoors where the receptionist was. The first toom assigned yo me was room 129. It was a terrible room with smoke smellsl and No suitable amenities and the tub had a rusting spot. When I requested another room they sent me to room 120. It had the smell of exterminating gas, but I was so tried I fell asleep with my covid mask on. The morning I found a dead cockroach in the refrigerator. I told that to the manager but he did not compensate me and I trued calling Hotels.com but no representative came on the line.

There is no lobby. Check-in is via a kiosk window. The lobby is perpetually locked. We booked a room with a double bed and got one with a king bed. It was so late that I didn’t ask to change as that would make getting to bed take even longer. The linens were clean but threadbare. There used to be a pool but it’s been filled with concrete. The biggest negative was that in the morning, my 10yo found a bullet casing in the parking lot. The area around the hotel is pretty run down. It’s next to the interstate and leaving we saw numerous homeless people camped out under the underpass. We were fairly aggressively panhandled a few blocks away near the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. I definitely would not stay again. There hotel alone is mediocre but ok. The bullet in the parking lot and aggressive panhandling made me feel too unsafe to ever return.

The room was clean with the comforts of a refrigerator and microwave. I have no complaints about the noise or questionable guests. Overall it was very pleasant.

Hotel was very clean, customer service was great, and check in and out was quick and easy. Was nice having microwave and fridge in the room. Area felt safe, and parking lot was well lit. I was in town for a concert at the Legacy Arena, and it was a quick uber ride there and back. Would have been easily walkable also. Hotel is a little dated, and could use some freshining up. But was perfect for an overnight stay for the concert.

Some of the light fixtures did not work and the sink dripped constantly because of some issue with the knobs--the hot water knob spun both ways and the zero point was impossible to find. Overall, served me well enough for the one night I was there and was reasonably priced.

There were roaches in the room, the Internet kept dropping out, there were only 7 channels on the tv, the cold water knob was missing in the tub, one stop of the non slip runner in the tub was coming up, the beds were hard as a block of wood. We stayed only because it was just for one night and my grandson had an appointment at children's of Alabama early the next morning.

There is not much to write about this hotel. It is an old, outdated hotel still in business. It is a cheap hotel if you are looking for a bargain or in a tight budget. Do not expect to be wowed when you check in at the hotel or when you see your room. Everything in the room are all outdated furniture. One thing I could say about the room I stayed in, it was decent for a night stay. It is basically an 'OK' hotel...

The mattress also was very old and uncomfortable! But room was clean, sheets and towels were freshly laundered. However, there is a homeless camp right across the street!!! Wood pallets, grocery carts, and clothing hanging from the fence! Seemed very unsafe!

The hotel was in close proximity to downtown and all of the tourist attractions. I felt safe and it was peaceful while I was there.

When we were getting off the exit driving to the hotel it is in a bad neighborhood there were homeless people sitting on the ground, pushing buggy’s down the street. So we didn’t stay and plus they had no power that day.

There is no lobby. Check-in is via a kiosk window. The lobby is perpetually locked. We booked a room with a double bed and got one with a king bed. It was so late that I didn’t ask to change as that would make getting to bed take even longer. The linens were clean but threadbare. There used to be a pool but it’s been filled with concrete. The biggest negative was that in the morning, my 10yo found a bullet casing in the parking lot. The area around the hotel is pretty run down. It’s next to the interstate and leaving we saw numerous homeless people camped out under the underpass. We were fairly aggressively panhandled a few blocks away near the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. I definitely would not stay again. There hotel alone is mediocre but ok. The bullet in the parking lot and aggressive panhandling made me feel too unsafe to ever return.

The motel is sparse, but clean, and the owner very nice. We let him know the TV was not working, and it was immediately fixed. There are no unnecessary frills to pay for. I was in town for an art show, and all we wanted was a clean place to sleep, the Tourway provides that. If you need coffee in the morning, you may want to bring a coffee maker, there is a nearby gas station that also has coffee.

Great, no frills clean hotel. Right off 65. If you're coming for a concert, take an Uber. Lot of construction going on downtown on the one-way streets. Grocery store and fast food about 5 minutes away.

Perfect inexpensive place to stay if going to a concert at the BJCC. Check in was very pleasant and friendly. Only 2 suggestions, get new beds, they are very hard and my back was hurting from it the next day. Second, a snack and a soda machine next to the ice machine. There aren't any gas stations/restaurants nearby. Being able to get a small snack at any hour would be nice and also profitable I am sure.

Seems like tour way has remodeled most of their rooms. They look great and very well maintained. My only problem was there wi fi. Horrible to say the least. I could not get on the internet with my phone or iPad. When I called the front desk and asked them to restart their router the guy didn’t want to do it. As if I had the problem. He admitted that it has no internet and that it shuts off and on a lot. If you’re planning to get work done here via internet, you can forget about that.
