The breakfast offered was what one would expect, but I really like those warm cinnamon buns! Healthier options were available, and the breakfast comes free with the price of the room. We were traveling to avoid Hurricane Ian, and then to visit Birmingham and Montgomery before heading back to Florida. Location mattered only in that it would be easily accessible, and it was! We stayed for two nights and can't say enough to recommend this hotel. It is very clean, and very comfortable, and the staff members are absolutely wonderful - very helpful and friendly! We wish we could let them know how much we appreciate them.

We have only good things to say!

Great location for Bama game. Shuttle to game across the street. staff was amazing. Very clean hotel. Big Al came to visit at a free reception they held. One of our best trip highlights! Housekeeping was top notch!

Door had about a 2 inch gap under it. Our room had a plug in just hanging out of the wall but not a big deal.

We love Holiday Inn Express because of the consistency across the brand. We know we will get a comfortable experience with kind employees!

We stayed in a handicapped room and the bed was so high it was difficult to get in.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was huge, the beds were incredibly comfortable and everything was very clean.

There wasn't a trash can in my room, which was strange, but not a big deal.

The location was great, close to the University. The desk staff and housekeeping were very friendly.

The breakfast didn’t meet expectations on the Saturday morning. There wasn’t much choice when we came through around 9:15 AM.

Alabama fan friendly LOL

a lot of employee smoking at entrance:( needs some updating and air conditioner stayed too warm and not allowed to adjust beyond set point:( when you pay for a room, you’d like to be able to keep at temp according to your body temp.

This is our go to hotel in Tuscaloosa, but we've tried others. Always friendly, keeping up cleaning and best free breakfast around.

During our stay the pool was closed for maintenance

The breakfast menu was excellent. It made my day and my daughter’s day brighter!

It was kind of hard to find parking when I first arrived at the hotel.
