"The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Good bed and pillows. The towels were soft, and the water pressure in the shower was great. Check-in was a little long, but all was good. Great breakfast. Don't hesitate to stay here.2022-07-06"

"There was a leak in the 1st hotel room. The flooring was popping up in the 2nd room. 2018-08-08"
"Good location and rates. The hotel was showing some wear and tear, including obvious floor damage from an AC leak and stained carpeting. The toilet was a bit wobbly. Be sure to look in the drawer of the bedside table for a TV channel guide. The employees were helpful and accommodating, and the housekeepers did a great job during our 6-night stay. Go ahead and stay here.2018-04-23"
"Nice hotel, though it showed some signs of wear. More attention to detail was needed in both housekeeping and upkeep. There was damage under the AC, the shower needed new caulk, and the whirlpool was closed. The sundries area was severely under-stocked. The employees were friendly and helpful, though. Overall, we had a safe, comfortable stay with no problems. We'd stay here again.2016-08-17"
"The hotel was outdated. The carpeting in the room and hallways was old, and the room lighting was poor. Needed updating and modern touches. Worst of all, there was no hot water for showers in the morning; the problem was fixed just in time for our departure. The only positive thing about our stay was the friendly, helpful check-in clerk.2023-10-29"

"Good hotel with great front desk clerks. Only regular coffee was available at breakfast; the attendant said she'd make decaf, but we opted for tea. The pancake and juice machines were broken.2021-04-30"

"Nice, clean hotel. The staff was friendly. The breakfast crew woke me up at 3:30 AM, though; they were laughing and talking loudly in the hallway.2018-06-20"
"The hotel was in dire need of upgrades and maintenance. The bedsheet was soiled, and the housekeeper didn't change it; I had to call the front desk when I returned to get fresh bedding. No exhaust fan, so the bathroom got steamy when we showered. The carpet in the stairwell was old, smelly, and had water damage. The shuttle to the Alabama football game cost $10 each way. Great staff, but we won't be staying here again.2019-11-15"

Tuscaloosa is in west central Alabama, 60 miles southwest of Birmingham. It is the home of the University of Alabama and so earned the title, "The City of Champions."
Tuscaloosa has hotels throughout the city, but mainly downtown, near the University of Alabama, its campus and the Bryant-Denny Stadium. Other hotels are located near I-20, I-59 and on McFarland Blvd.
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
