There was not a microwave in the room… I’m a disabled veteran and couldn’t keep leaving the room just to use the microwave downstairs. There was no way to make copies of documents ( couldn’t even get the front desk to make just one copy for me). The bottles of personal hygiene products were not enough for two people on a 2 night stay. The prices at the front desk were ridiculously high. Overall I would not recommend this location if you need microwave access and a business room for clerical work.

Conveniently located and clean, but thin Walls

Hotel was nice and new. Very Strong smell in hallways. Smelled lik3 carpet cleaner x 100. So if you or your family have odor sensitivity, spend the extra 20 bucks and go elsewhere. Also, paper thin walls. If your a light sleeper then good luck. Comotion outside woke me up several times d3spite being on the 3rd floor. A couple back and forth fighting all night in the parking lot. Inside the hotel was quiet. Everything else was great, but i personaly would not stay again. Not even for the great price.

We really enjoyed our stay here (as always). We always come back whenever we visit Tuscaloosa. Clean room, comfy bed, nice morning breakfast, etc. It is a well maintained property and the people working here are great. Overall, a great value for the money.
