Roll Tide! New to Tuscaloosa from Michigan.

The front office staff, the breakfast staff and cleaning staff were all top-notch. The pool is beautiful and a welcome feature with the heat. The location is great- right across the street from the mall and Target. Five or six minutes, depending on where Student lives at university of Alabama. Falling in love with Tuscaloosa! Roll Tide!
