“The location is a definitive advantage, with easy access to downtown Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama; I noted the staff's friendliness and a commitment to cleanliness in most rooms. However, some rooms, particularly smoking rooms, seem to fall short of expectations; even so, the property presents a budget-conscious option with some appealing qualities.”
