This hotel is very nice, good breakfast, good rooms. Location is OK. But you have to drive to for any food. In the fitness room , the ellipicial feels like the gears are about to come off. And the tread mill belt slips, the switches to raise or change speed , only work intermittly. If the fitness room were fixed... More

I stayed here the beginning of April for 2 weeks on business. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I went home over the weekend and had to have two separate reservations. When I came back and checked back in, the room they first gave me smelled like smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. I went back down... More

It only took us four years of visiting our daughter at the University of Alabama to try this hotel and like the previous writer, most of our experiences in Tuscaloosa have been ho-hum, typical interstate chain hotels with a wide assortment of minuses and a few pluses.

It was beautifully furnished and well-lit with multiple lamps. The bed was comfortable and the linens were in good condition. The bathroom was well-lit for a hotel bathroom. The entire suite was immaculately clean. The... More

Stayed here in December 2011. The hotel is right on the outer edge of the April 2011 tornado that hit Tuscaloosa. The devastation is still VERY evident, especially on the backside of the hotel where University Ave is located. Hotel itself took some pretty significant damage but one would never know. The hotel is in great shape. The staff were... More

This is a nice hotel right by University Mall. It is not far from UA campus and is a newer property. Very clean and part of the newer holiday inn express design.

Stayed here last year for Alabama Fall Graduation. Excellent value, staff goes above and beyond for the experience. Shopping and dining options excellent. Great value.
