What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Capstone earns strong praise for its unbeatable on‑campus location and friendly staff, while feedback on rooms and facilities is mixed; cleanliness can vary, and guests appreciate the convenience of the on‑site dining and parking.

Reports include stained carpets, dusty vents/baseboards, mold in showers, and occasional musty odors. Rooms are generally comfortable and functional, though many note dated decor, very small bathrooms with awkward shower designs, limited outlets/lighting, and occasional weak Wi‑Fi or HVAC quirks. The restaurant and bar draw frequent compliments, but the outdoor pool is sometimes closed or needs work, and some guests mention extra charges for parking or in‑room safes. Expect a convenient, campus‑centered stay with friendly service in older, well‑used accommodations.

The lobby area is nice but the hotel is worn. They have also started tacking on fees for everything-parking, safe usage (even if you don’t use the safe?!?). Proximity to campus is a bonus but honestly there are so many cleaner, nicer places nearly as close.

The room was good. There is no counter space in the bathroom, and the one glass shelf slanted froward so that stuff slid off. The hotel charged a safe fee with tax that was not disclosed on the total by hotels.com. Even though it was only a couple of dollars, it is kind of annoying, especially since I didn't use the safe. They also charge tax on the parking fee.

Obvious spill stains on carpet that were not cleaned or treated. Shower was dirty. Location was great! Service I checked in early and told someone would call me when room was ready. No one called and I went to front counter to get my key and the girl who took my card info and license didn’t check me in. A lot of wasted time.

I love the location of the Capstone, but this trip was not as pleasurable as those I have had in the past. The room would get a film of dew every time there wasn’t a lot of movement in the room bc the air would cycle off. The staff was wonderful but after a four day stay- we had trash overflowing and no toilet paper. I wish they did a refresh each day.

Location was great! Having the restaurant, bar and outdoor pool was nice. We booked a suite and we felt like we were in a dark basement. There was a very small window with view of a roof. The carpet and furniture were very worn with stains. Paint was peeling in areas. The bathroom was tiny. Some updates would really help!

The room’s AC was constantly on full blast, and it was loud. I tried to turn the thermostat up, but the AC would not cut off, even with the thermostat at 80. Luckily, I like it cold, but this was a little ridiculous. There was also a musty smell in the room. The bathroom has nowhere to place toiletries. All the lights in the room are the bluest LEDs you could imagine. Everything else seemed clean, and the staff were nice. But, the conditions did not justify the price.

I booked a suite so I could host a movie night for my college student daughter and her friends. The suite had 2 TVs, both Samsung. Imagine my surprise when we realized that neither TV was a Smart TV. So, there went movie night. I was in room 276 which was very quiet with no neighboring rooms (exterior wall on one side and stairwell on the other). The housekeeping staff were VERY loud every morning beginning at 9 am. This hotel is average. It is clean and the front desk staff were pleasant. The lighted bathroom mirror stopped working on the second day. Maintenance fixed the issue while I was away from the room that afternoon. Bed was comfortable. The most annoying thing about my room other than having to cancel movie night because the TVs were set up like it was the year 2000 was how the shower was set up. It had a glass wall with a glass door that pushed inward. To turn on the water, you have to push the door open into the shower, stand with one leg in the shower to reach the control, turn the control on (it’s COLD!!!), adjust the water temperature while you get totally wet. It’s the most stupidly designed shower ever.

They messed up my payment twice. They charged me twice (on different cards.) Worked to get that resolved and they charged my card an additional night when we checked in. Had to work to get it fixed, but still pending and not falling off my card. They were lackadaisical about it. Location is the best feature of the Capstone.

We started with a partial roll of toilet paper. When we ran out, we looked for an extra roll. Nope. We called the front desk on the room phone to request more. No answer, left a message as directed. Waited, used tissues, then called again, same thing, no answer, “leave a message.” An hour later we left for breakfast and stopped by the front desk to relay the issue. They said “when you come back, stop by here and we will give you some.” Hmm, ok. So we did. Got up to the room at 1:10 pm, bed not made, no fresh towels—no back up TP. Left again, came back at 3:30, still hadn’t made bed. I called the front desk and was told “they clean the rooms for the incoming guests and if there is time, they will make up your room.” Hmm. So I asked for towels and TOILET PAPER. At 4:50pm, they knocked and dropped them outside the door. Once you’ve checked in—you’re on your own—zero service.

The best part about Hotel Capstone hands-down is the proximity to the university and all the cute affectations around the hotel celebrating Bama. The rooms are fine, nothing fancy but clean and decently appointed. The restaurant stays open till 10 pm, which is helpful and the food is quite good. Highly recommend if you want to be near your student, or near Bryant Denny or Coleman Coliseum on game days.

Hotel Capstone was amazing. Very clean, great service, the room cleaning staff was excellent and took care of our rooms daily after we left for the day. One day I was only gone for 25 minutes but when I returned the whole room was cleaned. The only issue I had was that the breakfast wasnt good at all. But that could have been a preference issue. I will definitely stay again & again! #RollTideRoll
