Hotel Details
3801 McFarland Boulevard E, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35405-2403 United States

Hotel Overview

Tuscaloosa runs on college-town energy, where game days hum along the Black Warrior River and the University of Alabama campus sets the rhythm of the whole city. The Best Western University Inn sits minutes from campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, an easy base for a football Saturday, a campus visit, or a concert down by the riverfront.

Dependable, comfortable rooms make for a simple landing after a long day, each with a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. A free breakfast opens the morning, free parking sits right outside, and the pool is there to cool off a warm afternoon before the game-day crowds roll in.

Crimson and white turn out in force on fall Saturdays, and there is no better feeling than walking back to a comfortable room afterward. Settle in and let Tuscaloosa cheer you on. The Bryant-Denny Stadium and the riverwalk along the Black Warrior both sit a short drive from the door.
