Hotel Capstone

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and reception in particular were very friendly and very helpful. The room was cool and quiet and the TV had a sleep timer which is rare at most places I’ve stayed."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Well located and traffic was easy in and out. Bed was comfortable, room was great. Ate a Cobb salad at the 205, with the 205 cheese dip that was great. Livingston at the front desk was supper helpful and very knowledgeable, he must have been day shift just thought he needed a shout out, that someone that young was so good."

avid hotel Tuscaloosa University Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming ladies. The lobby is spacious and bright. Our room was small, but functional and the bed was clean and comfortable. Although the bathroom was clean the edges and seals around the shower were a little moldy and in need of a good cleaning. The walls near and below the desk had some stains. Gave us the impression that the daily cleaning needed to be more thorough."
