Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tuscaloosa-University by IHG
Clean, hot water, nice beds. Everything you expect when you have to stay away from home. They had a hot chocolate bar and my son absolutely loved it.

Hampton Inn Tuscaloosa-University
Black mold in the shower. Caulk is not a fix for mold removal. The bathroom floor was sticky.

Bel-Aire Motel Tuscaloosa
Hotel Capstone
Rooms need updating — the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor even when it was completely closed. Mattresses were not great. They did have great a/c and a nice lobby area but it is definitely not worth what they charge.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tuscaloosa University
Hotel is a little dated but we weren’t in the room much. They offer a continental breakfast which was good.

No hot water, no refills of soaps, shampoo pr conditioner or anything, no refills of towels. Garbage littered all over the premise especially outside the entrance to building on the reserve part.
