Top Children's Hands-On Museum Hotel Reviews

The Alamite, Tuscaloosa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with two bar options and a nice restaurant. Excellent location and friendly staff."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very spacious and equipped with many necessities including full fridge and freezer, stovetop, full length ironing board, etc. Also, the staff were helpful and kind. I’m not sure if the hotel owns the restaurant as well, but staff at “205” were extremely friendly as well. We really enjoyed our stay!"

Hotel Indigo Tuscaloosa Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super nice . Great clean hotel"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown University Blvd

8/10 Good

"Nice place"

Hotel Capstone

10/10 Excellent

"Caught the Capstone on an away game weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Next time though, I’ll ask if the football team will be staying there. The 5:45 am wake up call up and down the hallway was unexpected but got the day off to a roaring start!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown near University

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and there is a separate vent in the bathroom for moisture and noise reduction. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast options were good and are available until 10am. Convenient location to campus. Ample parking. Only caveat is that there is a median on the street so if you’re approaching with the hotel on your left you’ll have to make a u-turn somewhere to get there."

Ivory Dynasty by Collodge Downtown Tuscaloosa Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an electrical issue when we first arrived and reached out to the owner. He answered right away and had us move to another room immediately."

Bama Getaway - Walk to Downtown & Campus! Luxurious and cozy furnishings!

10/10 Excellent

"This rental was excactly like the pics. It was very clean and comfortable and very well appointed."

The Gatsby - a 1920s Speakeasy abode in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa!

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We planned to rent The Gatsby for our family to celebrate graduation together. The space was fabulous, the location sublime but the bedrooms/sleep arrangements were lacking. Frankly you can sleep a maximum of 5 people not the advertised 8. Sleeping on sofa's would be fine for children but not adults who have longer legs. We had two king bedrooms - one without a window so kept the door open - but fabulously comfortable. Only one futon at the property so my son slept there and we arranged for the rest of our party to sleep elsewhere. Great for 5 people, wonderful and as mentioned location and parking was perfect. Thank you for being very responsive and easy to deal with. Next upgrade would be the ceiling tiles but Really enjoyed our stay."
