Top Central Alabama Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tuscaloosa University

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel was very nice. Our one complaint was that we checked in very late because of flight delays and needed a restful night. The A/C unit made such a high-pitched noise all night that we did not sleep well. For the second night we asked to be moved to another room. They were accommodating and moved us, however the A/C unit was only slightly better than the first room’s."

The Kelly Birmingham, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

8/10 Good

"The Kelly is a nice hotel in a great location. The rooms are well outfitted thought disappointed there wasn't a minifridge. The A/C works great though, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Aside from being charged for breakfast when it was supposed to be included in the room charge I paid, I would definitely recommend this hotel."
