Best Western University Inn

We stayed here with our child for a competition. We checked out early in the morning. We accidentally left our Apple earphones in the room and thought they were gone. When we came back at 7 p.m. to ask about them, the staff first asked us to describe what the earphones looked like before returning them to us. They were very responsible and professional. The service was excellent, and we will definitely stay here again. We had a very pleasant stay.

Normally we don't book motels, but being family weekend in Tuscaloosa it was practical and made sense compared to the hotel we normally stay at when we visit. I was very skeptical, not gonna lie, but once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised. I felt safe, the room was very clean and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The best two nights of sleep we had in a very long time. I will definitely be booking here again for 2026 family weekend.

Positive: "" Negative: The location, not nice at all.

You get what you pay for. The room was decent. Walls are paper thin. I could hear people on one side arguing and the people on the other side’s dog barking. The rooms are dated like other reviews suggest but cleanish. I booked a smoking room because it was on the cheaper side, the room didn’t smell awful, it was okay. Parking is really good. I parked my car in front of my room so I could see. Stayed one night. There is a $100 security deposit and you have to give front desk your ID for them to make a copy, as well as your license plate number to stay. Overall it’s a decent motel to spend a night when traveling. Not a place where I would want to stay multiple days.

This place was clean and in a good, safe location. No unsavory people wandering around. The only issue I had was the mattress on one of the full beds. I could feel every spring in the mattress. The other bed was fine. Not sure why this one was so bad, but I would expect much better for the price I paid for this room. Everything else was fine.
