Came into Tuscaloosa for the first time, checking into the hotel was a breeze and general manager Taylor was totally awesome with all the help and advice for us. She gave us little ins and outs of the city and going to the football game. The Hotel was clean, friendly and staff was overwhelmingly helpful. Michigan Tide Family
