La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tuscaloosa University
The only thing I didn’t like is the fragrance sprayed in the hall ways, as an elderly person with allergies to fragrances this is hard on me. It’s difficult to hold my breath from the fourth floor to the loby

Ambassador Inn and Suites Tuscaloosa
Fantastic bed, big bathroom and room! The pillows weren’t fluffy, but the bed was so comfortable. The hallways were clean, but the cleaning product aroma was strong and not pleasant. The breakfast was basic but good.
