Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Multiple reviews explicitly call the property 'super clean' and 'the cleanest I have ever seen'; generally very positive cleanliness impressions, with one mention of a slightly humid/moldy smell in a single room.
Service
9.4
Consistently praised front desk and staff as friendly, efficient and helpful (assisted with amenities, pet accommodations, lamp/lightbulb replacement and quick responses); pet-friendly behavior noted positively.
Location
9
Described as convenient and easy off/on I-20, quiet, near truck stops and a Harley store — travelers found the location practical and restful for overnight stays.
Room Quality
8.4
Beds repeatedly described as very comfortable, AC worked well and water pressure praised; however rooms are slightly aged and there was one report of humidity/mild moldy odor, reducing the score slightly.
Amenities
8.6
Noted amenities include a small outdoor pool, digital key/self check-in and pet acceptance; generally adequate for an interstate stop though pool is very small and breakfast provisioning issues affect perceived amenity quality.
Value for Money
8
Most guests were satisfied and would stay again (good value for an easy overnight stop), but a notable complaint about a third-party booking overcharge lowered perceived value somewhat.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Mixed feedback on breakfast: several guests praised it, but others reported it was poorly stocked, limited in items, and that eggs tasted like powdered eggs — overall weaker than other categories.
Overall Experience
9.8
Overall sentiment is very positive: multiple 'excellent' recommendations, quiet comfortable stays, and explicit statements of willingness to return, producing a strong overall experience score.

The required security deposit was a major disappointment. Hotel already had my credit card. Why did the hotel have to ad
Pros:

Breakfast was good and the ladies preparing the breakfast were extremely polite.

Cons:

The check-in clerk was the rudest that I encountered along my travels all over the world. Confrontation related to hotel mandatory security fee on check-in.

Great overnight stop...quiet, comfy beds, and cold AC!
Pros:

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from Gatlinburg. The bed was very comfortable. We could control the AC and it was definitely cold enough (some hotels control the thermostat with a certain range). The water pressure in the shower was amazing. It was also very quiet and we were able to get a good night's rest for traveling the next day. Mr. Aaron was very helpful with getting a lightbulb replaced in one of our lamps. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had better eggs for breakfast. They tasted like powdered eggs. I would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here twice now! Good place to stay for the night!
Pros:

My wife and I came for a luncheon at the University and we had stayed here last year, so we knew it was a good place to stay!

We did the online, self check in, with the digital key, so we went straight to our room.

This hotel is just off I-20, and is surrounded by 2 truck stops, and a Harley Davidson store. So it is a quiet, easy off and back on interstate stop.

I had forgotten a toothbrush and razor and the front desk was very quick to help and very nice!

There is a very small outdoor pool out front, and when I say small, it is very small, but could be a nice place to cool off.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is bc it is just slightly a little aged Hampton…but it still doesn’t bother us, and we would stay here again!

When we stay in hotels we want these 3 things, in this order…feels safe, clean, and quiet…it meets all 3! We will definitely stay here again if we stay in Tuscaloosa!

Pros:

Beware of using 3rd party booking sites such as Booking.com. The hotel said that Booking.com made a mistake and charged $70 more two days before booking after they were paid by Booking.com. Sketchy!

Cons:

Pricing

I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Very clean and up to date. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
