Top Alabama Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown near University

8/10 Good

"My husband, son, and I stayed here to attend a concert at the amphitheater. It was an easy walk, although there are no sidewalks on that side of the road, so you kind of have to take a long way if you want to stay on the sidewalk. The people at the front desk were so nice. The breakfast choices were good. The bed was comfortable enough. The walls are too thin, and I heard the entire conversation of my neighbors at midnight after they let their door slam to go in their room. They weren't trying to be quiet, though."
