“Excellent hotel in a convenient location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We spent one night at this hotel to attend an athletic event. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful, spacious king suite. It was beautifully furnished and well-lit with multiple lamps. The bed was comfortable and the linens were in good condition. The bathroom was well-lit for a hotel bathroom. The entire suite was immaculately clean. The hotel is near Coleman Coliseum and the football stadium but too far for most people to walk. Transportation is needed to get to campus and restaurants but both are within a short driving distance. As another reviewer noted, it is located on the edge of the severe tornado damage of April 2011. The devastation is still clearly evident from the hotel. The hotel and grounds are in excellent condition and are very well tended. The breakfast is typical of HI Express hotels -- cinnamon rolls, fruit, yogurt, cereals, milk, juice, bacon, eggs, gravy and biscuits and a pancake maker. The food was kept replenished and the breakfast staff was friendly and helpful.

Room Tip: We stayed in a king suite at the end of a hall. It was very spacious and quiet.

“An excellent hotel in Tuscaloosa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here in December 2011. The hotel is right on the outer edge of the April 2011 tornado that hit Tuscaloosa. The devastation is still VERY evident, especially on the backside of the hotel where University Ave is located.

Hotel itself took some pretty significant damage but one would never know. The hotel is in great shape. The staff were very courteous and the free breakfast was ample and delicious. Kudos to the Holiday Inn Express in Tuscaloosa!!!

This is a nice hotel right by University Mall. It is not far from UA campus and is a newer property. Very clean and part of the newer holiday inn express design.

“Very nice hotel in Tuscaloosa...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

We always stay here when visiting the University of Alabama or attending cheer clinics. Very clean, safe and reasonable.

Room Tip: Ask for upper floors at the back. Very quiet.
