“"lights out"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

if I did not know better I would think that this hotel was out of business from approaching the entrance on the highway. we were in town to visit my daughter attending U.A.. It was dark and could not find the hotel entrance. we were later told that the hotel was having electrical problems and all the exterior lights were not working. My wife stated "if we were not together she would have refused to stay there" since it appeared very unsafe. never stayed at a country inn and suites. it was very "bland" looking. unless this price is a great deal, i would keep looking !!

“NICE staff...Great place overall”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2010 via mobile

This hotel was very nice...i like the way it looks like a little home. It really makes feels like a home away from home. The people there was great...and my kids really loved the fresh baked cookies & the hot breakfast...especially the waffle maker. Great place to relax at from a long drive...

“Room was nice, but smelled like sewage”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2010 via mobile

Stayed for 1 night. I liked that I had a fridge and microwave but the room had a bad smell. I think they had sewage issues. The hotel could use a face lift. It's only an 8 minute drive from there downtown area, which offers a lot to do.

“OK hotel, very comfortable bed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

I was passing through Tuscaloosa and stayed at this hotel after reading a number of reviews online. Everything is pretty average -- the hotel itself is modern and the rooms are mid-sized. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming for this class ... a few cold items and a waffle maker. I'm not a huge fan of the style of the place in general -- the swimming pool is tiny, the front "porch" is a bit of a joke, etc -- but it was a very comfortable stay and I didn't have any trouble with check in or check out.

Unless you like interstates and highways, there is nothing convenient about the location. It takes about 15 minutes to get downtown and I would have much preferred staying closer (within walking distance) to the restaurants, bars, etc, downtown.
