Greystone Inn and Suites
Room is a bit dated, but clean. They provide free drinks and snacks in the lobby and the room. I looked around my room to make sure I wasn’t going to get charged $7 for a bottle of water, like in Las Vegas. Good value for the money.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Tuscaloosa Alabama Downtown
Fantastic hotel. We loved the suite style room with a separate bedroom and pull out couch in the living room. The attached Side-by-Side restaurant was great as well the daily happy hour setup and breakfast. We'd definitely pick this hotel again.
