Decent
Decently clean and comfortable for a short stay at a cheap rate. Smells a little moldy and musty.
This hotel is newly renovated very clean quiet and the employees are what made my stay even more overwhelming. I will stay here every time I visit Tuscaloosa AL. Thank u for a wonderful stay.
The remodels on the property are very nice. The breakfast has a nice selection. The staff was very charming. The rooms are clean. The fitness room was small but had updated machines. Had a small issue but was addressed immediately. I would definitely stay again!
Apparently, the motel has undergone major renovations fairly recently. It is now anon-smoking facility. It was clean, bed was comfortable, had cell phone hookups, ample towels.staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plenty. Rate was reasonable.
The hallways need new carpet as they always stink but rooms stay clean. Housekeeping was perfect. My only real complaint is lack of elevators here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was amazing and kept my room clean. The hallways smell of cigarettes and could use some new flooring as the carpet looks gross but the inside of the room was clean! My only concern was that there were some guys sitting in the grass outside the room on the backside and it appeared they were sleeping there at night. I didn’t feel safe having a ground floor room because of this but that was only the first night I was there.

Not the worst hotel in Tuscaloosa
The lady working the front desk was great. I was in town to umpire baseball and she checked me in early. So I could shower and change before going to the school. When I went up to my room the hall way was nasty. Had trash bags in the hall and stuff all over the floor. My room was clean and the ac was cold. When I came back that night the hall way was clean but I had to get my room keys reprogrammed twice because they wouldn’t work. The bed was very comfortable.
This hotel was very disappointing! We paid over $200 for this room. Being that it was so late and area was booked for Alabama game, we had to settle for it. The room itself was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable with clean fresh sheets. It appeared that the bathroom was overlooked during the cleaning process. It was filthy! The floor was unclean, blonde hair all over the mirror, black hair all in the tub, no tissue on the roll. I literally wiped urine and filth off the toilet seat with a napkin. I asked staff to either have it cleaned or to have us moved to another room. They only had 1 room left with no tv and no staff to do cleaning. So I asked for cleaning supplies to clean it myself and was given 2 towels and some spray. After cleaning I realized there weren't any wash cloths present. We called front desk only to be told there weren't any clean towels in the hotel and the towels I was given with the cleaning solution were the towels she was giving us to bath with... ugh!! Worse stay EVER! We deserve a full refund.
Made reservations online took about 3 mins got to town checwked in with no issues stay was nice night shift and morning shift both ladies were pleasant
