Charming 3-bedroom house in fabulous Tuscaloosa! Close to all things UA!
Fantastic 5 night family trip to Tuscaloosa to visit University of Alabama and explore the surrounding area. House was adorable with all the Bama touches. Loved the extra touches of coffee pods, creamer and water bottles in the fridge, and a snack basket! Host was very responsive and had great recommendations ...

Hotel Indigo Tuscaloosa Downtown by IHG
The staff at the front desk, breakfast bar, and rooftop bar were so helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay while we were in Tuscaloosa. The only thing I didn't like was the shampoo and conditioner that was provided.
