Where to say in Tuscaloosa for one night
I'm spending one night in Tuscaloosa, can anyone recommend a nice place under $100?

Hi!
I like the Jameson...and the Fairfield. Avoid Sleep Inn!
Be sure you are not staying on a football weekend...prices zoom up and often hotels require a three-night stay.

Actually Sleep Inn is one of the places I was thinking about, why do you say avoid it? |

The Tuscaloosa Sleep Inn is an old motel, not the newer Sleep Inns. I reviewed it on Tripadvisor. Want sheets without cigarette burn holes? Pillows that aren't flat? Bring your own. Among other issues.

I stayed there some 20-some years ago! It was fine then, and I know I've seen them do a couple of extensive renovations since our stay. It's right next to the interstate, so you might want to take earplugs...just in case.
Actually, it's probably been 4 or 5 years since we've overnighted in Tuscaloosa in a hotel. We usually drive down and back for games. While daughter was in school we stayed in her apartment.  |

The Motel 6 had cockroaches. I could tell. I looked closely.
Although there were many, they seemed well behaved and didn't make the trip back in my car, for which I'm grateful.

It's hard to beat a Comfort Suites as most are pretty new and the service is great. I noticed though that the one on McFarland is $125 a night  I recently stayed in one in another state for less than half that. |

Yes, stayed there for daughter's graduation. Rooms were worn out, and the hotel was full of cheerleaders in town for a competition. After 10 p.m., though, they were quiet. Stay away from Motel 6 if at all possible!

It was probably a Friday or Saturday during football season.  |

Thanks everyone for advise! Does anyone know if there is a football game in town on the 9th that would cause rooms not be available?
