"Everything was great!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very spacious and equipped with many necessities including full fridge and freezer, stovetop, full length ironing board, etc. Also, the staff were helpful and kind. I’m not sure if the hotel owns the restaurant as well, but staff at “205” were extremely friendly as well. We really enjoyed our stay!"
