Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Alabama Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great overall ambiance!"

Best Western University Inn

8/10 Good

"The pool was closed for “repairs” but it was full and there was tons of sand and algae growing in it. It was unsightly. The room was clean, ac worked great and breakfast was plentiful. Staff very friendly. Good location to shopping, highway and university. Entrance is obscured by an abandoned restaurant though"
