Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tuscaloosa Near University

The location, staff, and breakfast is what makes this hotel great...especially if you're travelling in for football games! The hotel is right next to the mall which offers a shuttle to the stadium and is also very close to the main streets, food, Target, UA, and downtown. We were upgraded with no charge to a suite, which was very helpful as we were travelling with a baby! Very friendly and hard working staff! The breakfast was good with a lot of options - we didn't feel a need to hurry to get down in fear of them running out or to go out for breakfast somewhere because of lack of food options. Free parking was also a plus!

I may be a bit of a hotel snob, and I definitely wiped down the entire room with Clorox wipes and Lysol before unpacking (I do this at most places), but after I cleaned up a bit, I was totally comfortable! There was some dust and the tissue holder in the bathroom was broken (with no tissue in it) but that wasn't a big deal as we had no real use for the tissue. It was just visually unappealing to have a hole on the side of the bathroom wall. The electrical sockets in the bathroom did not work, which was an inconvenience for blow drying hair and using the straightener, etc. There aren't electrical sockets by the beds, so bring a really long cord for any electronics you use at night time or just put them away!
