From the photos I thought perhaps this would be a cool vibe/remodeled motel. I paid $500 a night (only place available for parents weekend on a football weekend). Location was so sketchy I would have left and slept on my daughters dorm room floor if my boyfriend wasn't with me. No housekeeping so no clean sheets or towels (serriously???). Only 2 very small bath towels. One tiny shampoo bottle that was only enough for one hair washing (again, no housekeeping). Bed was horrible - could feel the springs from the mattress all night and it squeaked with every motion. Next time I'll stay in Birmingham and spend the extra to uber to the campus. Maybe if less than $100 a night it would be ok, but if going to price gouge, at least have housekeeping and towels! Exactly what you'd expect from a motel 6, don't be fooled by the photos that make it look kind of cute!
The room appeared clean. Fixtures are modern and updated. Amenities are minimal, but that was reflected in the price. Overall my 3-night stay was comfortable enough. But one day I woke up and I had a giant cockroach in my hair. Later I saw another 2-inch long roach by the toilet. I killed both, but kept feeling like there was something crawling around my hair the rest of yhe day. Gross.
We stayed here while we were moving my daughter into college. Everything was great! We had an issue with the tv in our room and the man from the office helped us until it was fixed! Very nice and clean rooms will definitely be staying here when visiting my daughter!

The sheets needed to be bleached better.
The sound from the room above was loud.
The room was very clean and the bedding was nice. It’s a motel. If you’re visiting kids at UA and options are limited, this is a good choice and very close to the school. The staff were super friendly.

Bring your own towels if you dont want the headache of asking for enough to accommodate your family .
If you're traveling with dogs to Tuscaloosa, this is the place to stay. The staff is dog friendly and loves to meet them. The floors are Vinyl so you can clean up messes if there are any. The shower was zero steps so I set the food and water up in it and it was ideal. AND the dog run is well maintained, sunny and supplied with poop bags. Loved it.
TV system does not work. Staff moved me to a new room with the TV being one of the issues. The entire system disconnects frequently, making whatever you're watching re-start. There is no antenna TV at all.
There is nothing around the motel, so having a working TV is pretty crucial
The staff was wonderful the room were clean
I will stay there again in the future keep up the great work staff

I had no expectations here other than a clean place to get a good night's sleep. My expectations were completely met. The room was spacious, and although dated, clean and well-appointed. The night manager was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.
The room was not clean at all. The shower was nasty with black stains in the shower. The sheets were not cleans there as stain and someone else hair under the sheets. There was not WiFi or a working tv in the room
I had a quick overnight stay on a road trip. The gentleman who checked me in was very nice and very quick. I had an issue with the AC unit in my room and the security latch wasn’t functioning, but I was moved very easily to another room which was much better. Room was clean with plenty of towels and everything else worked great. The area is very busy, but I was still able to fall asleep early and get up early. Good for the price.
