Top East Central Tuscaloosa Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Tuscaloosa, AL – University

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very pleasant and quick to help me with everything I needed."

Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown near University

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was simple and easy. The lady who checked us in was Very Friendly! Got up to our room on the 4th floor. Room was super, super spacious!! We had 2 queen beds and a couch. There was a kitchen area with a full sized refrigerator. The bathroom was also super spacious with 2 large mirrors and 2 sinks! There was plenty of fresh/clean towels, washcloths and hand towels. The water got super hot in the shower and the water pressure was the BEST I've ever had at a hotel!! Loved that!! The a/c unit in the room wasn't the best but it kept us cool enough. It was right beside one of the beds, thankfully my husband loves to be very cold so he slept by it for the one nights stay. We all slept great, beds we're super comfy!! Sheets we're soft and smelled great!! We had to get up super early so we made it downstairs for the breakfast before we checked out. And WOWWW!! What an Amazing Breakfast they offered!! Super Impressed!! And, at checkout the lady was also super friendly! Definitely loved our stay!! Would stay again and would recommend this property to anyone!"
