Motel 6 Tuscaloosa, AL โ€“ University

Motel 6 Tuscaloosa, AL โ€“ University

10/10 Excellent
"We travel with our dogs and dogs stay free here so this is our go to place in Tuscaloosa. Itโ€™s convenient, clean, inexpensive and they have a small fenced area for the pups. Itโ€™s not fancy but it has everything we need at a great price. Staff is always friendly and helpful. McFarland is a busy street so it can be a little noisy but earplugs do the trick."
