Top hotels in Skyland Park
Candlewood Suites Tuscaloosa by IHG
Hotel Capstone
The rooms are showing their age although upgrading has apparently begun. Staff are friendly but the hot water was turned off for several hours and the dining room remained closed even after hot water was restored. No compensation was offered, not even complimentary coffee.
