This hotel is NOT adjacent or within walking distance to anything on the UA campus so dont let the "University" in its name make you think that it is on or... More

Great facility and location. Spacious breakfast area. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Cookies in afternoon. Best of all....great showerheads, which is a personal pet peeve of mine. Very close to Mall, restaurants and University of Alabama campus. Book early for sporting events.

This location was not the best of the Holiday Inn Express family in terms of service, but still a very good place to stay. When I checked in the two front desk clerks ignored me and then the lady just looked at me when I told her I needed to check in. I was not recognized as a Gold member... More

Stayed here for a conference Bad weather in the area forced us to begin the meeting in the hotel. The staff was super and so flexible. My room was possibly the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. Will return when in the area.
