Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Tuscaloosa near University

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, staff were friendly, and breakfast was good! I would definitely stay here again."

Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown near University

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice play to stay. The hotel was very clean. Right near the university. Breakfast was great. Would have liked to stay the next night, because we are attending the Alabama/Georgia game, but price skyrockets during these events. Price was great otherwise."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown University Blvd

10/10 Excellent

"The absolutely most comfortable bed I have had the pleasure of sleeping in while traveling. Quiet with great black-out curtains. While the breakfast was so-so the delightful woman overseeing the breakfast made it feel like a feast."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very spacious and equipped with many necessities including full fridge and freezer, stovetop, full length ironing board, etc. Also, the staff were helpful and kind. I’m not sure if the hotel owns the restaurant as well, but staff at “205” were extremely friendly as well. We really enjoyed our stay!"
