Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hotel Capstone

10/10 Excellent

"location fantastic"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Alabama Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked this hotel. It's a little more expensive than the other hotels in the area, but it's very nice, has good amenities, and is convenient to places to eat and shop. All of the staff was nice. My only complaint was having to pay for parking. If there's an issue with people parking there who shouldn't be, then provide your guests at the hotel with a complimentary parking pass. If you are paying for a room, you shouldn't have to pay to park, too."

Ivory Dynasty by Collodge Downtown Tuscaloosa Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful second story room just loved it. Loved the balcony. Felt very cozy. Met Barden. He really helped to make suggestions on where to go what to do what to eat and what’s happening around town and met some of the staff. Also, very lovely couple. I definitely will be back."
