Tuskegee University, one of the largest historically black universities in the United States, is a private university located in Tuskegee, Alabama. It was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave, and George W. Campbell, a former slave owner. Adams asked that an educational institution for blacks be established. After Foster won the election, $2,000 (per year) was allocated from the state general budget for such a school to be located in Macon County. It was officially founded on July 4th, 1881, with Booker T. Washington, then a 25-year-old teacher at Hampton Institute in Virginia, as its first principal, a position he maintained until his death in 1915. Tuskegee acquired university status in 1985. Today it offers undergraduate, masters, professional, and doctoral degrees to more than 3,000 students with a strong orientation toward the relationship between education and work force preparation in the sciences, professions and technical areas. It was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark (1966), and is the only black college to be designated as a National Historic Site.

"If you’re staying in Opelika Alabama a few days please try this property it’s amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I made mention that it was my wife’s birthday and upon leaving they gave her a birthday card. You don’t see this type of customer service anymore. I can say you will find great customer service at this property. Already planning another visit to the area."

"I stayed there on 08/10 and the place was disgusting. The bathroom had a used bar of soap in the shower and no toilet paper. The space was extremely dirty, and the bedsheets were stained with what looked like urine. I even had to go to the store to buy clean sheets and bedding just to get through the first night. The only reason I stayed the first night was because the entire town was sold out for a football game. This is far below basic hospitality standards. In my opinion, no one should stay...

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Opelika

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is amazing and makes you feel welcome. The room was clean even the coffee pot lid on the inside. "

Staybridge Suites Auburn University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and spacious. Very comfortable setup and the beds were cozy. The staff was very friendly. I overheard one staff member talking a customer through an issue and she kept explaining in a very calm and friendly tone until the customer thoroughly understood the problem as well as the solution. Fantastic place to stay."
