This is a very old Motel in need of a lot of work! It's in a convenient location, just off the Interstate with plenty of restaurants and shopping around. The motel is old, old, old and needs update desperately.

We stayed at this hotel during a football weekend and all I can say is "Run"!. Our room was horrible, including blood stains on the shower curtain, vomit stains on the chair, mildew in the shower, a rattling air conditioner, and sheets and pillows that have to be 20 years or older. The breakfast is an absolute joke consisting of... More

My sister and I planned our Family Weekend vacation in July and this was the only hotel that was still avaliable in the Tuscaloosa area at that time. It looks relatively nice on the outside, but the inside is disgusting. There was some sort of black mold-like substance on the walls and when we opened the door a rush of... More

I stayed here only one night while riding thru Tuscaloosa. Two story motel with exterior doors to rooms. Check in was quick and the hotel staff was friendly and offered suggestions on places to eat. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. My room was on the ground floor and was a king, non-smoking room with a sofa. The room was... More

I stayed here for a total of six nights. Never had a problem. I didn't try the breakfast so I can't comment on that. The room was clean enough. Yes, it's definitely a dated hotel and you can tell. I agree that the bathroom could have used a little more attention, but it wasn't anything that I couldn't deal with.... More

This is not a Comfort property you want to bring your family to but if you are roaming alone, this should be your place. Very nice helpful staff in a property that provides basic sleep rooms with a no nonsense breakfast. It is relatively secure area with numerous fast food places within walking distance.

This hotel at 1901 McFarland Blvd (there are two in Tuscaloosa) has no idea about customer service. If you have any type of discount, make sure you have everything in writing because the management will not extend you any courtesy. We had a mix up with a special discounted rate and no one from the person I spoke to on... More
