Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Tuscaloosa, AL – University

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed here several times because it’s super DOG FRIENDLY!! Easy access to I-20. Clean rooms and great staff. The motel is on a busy road so it can be quite loud but earplugs work wonders. On this trip, the room we got smelled of smoke but the desk attendant, Barbara, changed us to another room lickety split. Thanks for providing a clean safe place for us to overnight with our pups. BTW, DOGS STAY FREE!!!!"

The Alamite, Tuscaloosa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The minute you walk in you feel welcome. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Valet parking via the app is a breeze. The stations on each floor with ice, water and extra k cups is a wonderful touch. The rooftop bar/restaurant is a great way to end your day."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown University Blvd

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve never met a staff member on the elevator ask me what room I was staying in and say I cleaned that one. I could tell she took pride in her work and honestly I was impressed. The room was awesome. So she should get recognition for that."
