Smaller and more compact than I prefer, but the room was paid for by someone else. There was broken tile in the shower. The staff was great. Friendly and social. Don't forget to grab free cookies in the evening.
Some coworkers and I stayed at this location for a conference, and we had an amazing experience. The rooms were clean with no weird smells, the bathrooms were immaculate, breakfast was good, and customer service was amazing. Garrett was extremely helpful, he answered all of our questions, and he helped me recover items that I left behind accidentally. I will definitely stay here again!
Standard Hampton Inn. Room was clean and stocked. Breakfast was OK. Close to UofA campus and an awesome minigolf place. East checkin in and checkout with app
Fantastic stay at the Hampton Inn. Staff was friendly and welcoming, from the front desk to the kitchen lady and the cleaning maids. Hotel was fresh and clean. Beds were comfortable and shower was great. Breakfast also had everything we needed. We will stay here again next time we are in Tuscaloosa.
I think we have stayed at every Hilton property in this area. The HI in Tuscaloosa is at the top of the list of most we have stayed at. Courteous employees welcoming the minute you walk in, warm cookies in the evening, very clean everywhere. 30 yrs old, but they repair what they can and keeps it up. It deserves more than a 5 star rating. Room looks great, bed was very comfortable. Out side landscaping was above most. Pool is great with plenty of tables and chairs. I could go on and on. Kuddos to everyone.
We have been staying here several times a year for four years. An all around great experience; clean, convenient and a kind staff. We’ll miss it here when our son graduates!
Everything about the stay and service were wonderful. They let me check-in super early and gave me water bottles and fruit. They room was spacious and comfortable. They baked cookies to give out in the evening. Breakfast was delicious. They also let me hang around to take a meeting in the lobby after checkout. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, great experience.
Great staff and very comfortable bed. They put out complementary cookies which were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend staying here.
