It was a pleasure staying here overnight on 04/29/2012. The front desk service was exceptional! The room was comfortable and clean. The cookies were great! Breakfast on 04/30/2012 was nice, except for the drama--the person that was servicing the breakfast area was in the kitchen area, out of sight from the dining area, but the door was open, and those...

A perfectly adequate property literally hundreds of yards from the northern edge of the UA campus and off of US 82 West. It is co-located next to Baumhower's Restaurant, which is a super sports eatery that has it's roots in the community 30+ years. Baumhower's is the closest (and only) restaurant within a 2 mile radius. The internet connectivty was... More

Any hotel that carries the Hampton flag is going to be at least a decent place to stay, and this hotel certainly was. The breakfast was of the usual Hampton high standard, if the breakfast room was a bit small for a three-story property. Front desk staff was particularly friendly and helpful. The rooms, however, were only adequate. No outlets... More

We stayed here on a visit to the University of Alabama campus. The hotel is located right next to the campus and you can take the back way as another guest had mentioned in a review. The front desk staff was very helpful and all but one person knew the campus and where buildings were very well. We did have... More

I spent one night here on a business trip to Tuscaloosa. The front desk staff was great and the housekeeping staff I met were all very friendly. The room was a double with two queens and it was extremely clean. The bed was comfy. I slept very well there. The bathroom was on the small side and didn't have an... More

We stayed here while my son was visiting the University of Alabama. Our room was nice, the pool was clean and there were even toys in the pool for my younger son. The breakfast area is huge. In other hotels, it seems like the breakfast area has gotten smaller and smaller.

My husband, however, has recently opted for another Hilton property - Hilton Garden Inn - in another part of the city.

Overall, the hotel was great. We enjoyed staying there. There was ample parking, decent continental breakfast, the rooms were clean and smelled fine. The bathroom was clean. It had a small refrigerator for storing cold things...and they had a nice little place downstairs where they sold drinks, snacks, etc. It's real close to everything and just off the interstate, but...

I needed a place to stay a couple of nights while visiting Tuscaloosa on business. This Hampton Inn is conveniently located. It is modern and up-to-date with attractive, comfortable rooms. Only con was I thought it was a bit pricey.
