Hotel Indigo Tuscaloosa Downtown, an IHG Hotel

Experience the true spirit of Tuscaloosa at Hotel Indigo® Tuscaloosa Downtown, the city's first waterfront hotel overlooking the Black Warrior River. Admire river views from our rooftop bar, or grab one of our bikes on loan and head to the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk to watch paddleboats and kayaks ride the current. Less than a mile away from the University of Alabama, we offer the perfect place to stay for the electric excitement of football games and graduations. You'll find a myriad of unique shops and restaurants downtown, and you can see both local and nationally touring acts at Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, the largest outdoor music venue in West Alabama. Inside the hotel, locally inspired murals fill the walls - we also host a gallery expansion from the Kentuck Art Gallery just across the river - and our restaurant and bar feature authentic Southern food and drinks.

Love the Roof Top Restaurant

The food at this restaurant/bar is AMAZING! I love it! The servers are friendly and kind. My 4yo and 1yo love the food too which is saying a lot! If you have the chance to visit the roof top bar during your stay I highly recommend it!

Reviewed By danwJ7397OP

Although we did not use many of the amenities (pool, fitness rooms, conference rooms) we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We were there for the softball regional tournament to watch UT Chattanooga. Hotel Capstone is a great place to stay and very convenient to the venues on the UA campus.

Reviewed By fritznyc

Embassy was a one-night stopover to break up a long road trip. When we arrived, I was a little unnerved to see that there was a huge wedding reception that had spilled into the parking lot. Those concerns evaporated when the partiers welcomed us and offered to help with our luggage! That set the tone for the rest of our stay. We had salad/gumbo from the restaurant, and I was able to do laundry on my floor. The huge suite had a fridge, sink, and microwave. We were able to fortify ourselves with the free breakfast before hitting the road again. My knee went out the morning we left, leaving me barely able to walk. A maid noticed my difficulty, and thinking quickly, put me in an office chair and wheeled me to the elevator. The front desk took over from there and got me into our car. Missed the pool and happy hour this time, but we may return in July.

Pros and cons—

Reviewed By O339XYbillb

Pros—staff was friendly and competent. My accessible room was quite large with plenty of space to move around. Cons—no free breakfast. I’d expect a mid-priced hotel to have one. Also, my son-in-law discovered shortly after he checked out that his wedding band was missing and the hotel staff wouldn’t allow them back in the room to look for it. I’d probably stay here again, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Not for families

Reviewed By nolatn

After driving for over 4 hours with a 15month old and a 3 year old we checked into the Home2Suites intTuscaloosa, AL shortly after 9pm Saturday, June, 26th. We requested a crib in our reservation. First we were given a room without a bathtub. I tried to call the front desk but no one answered. I went down to the desk and asked for a room with a bathtub and also a crib. I was told that the hotel did not have cribs (not that they were out but that they did not have them at all). I tried to call other hotels but there were no rooms available. We switched rooms. I then asked if they offered play yards like some hotels. I was told "Ma'am, this is a hotel," as if a crib or anything for an infant/toddler to sleep on was a ridiculous question. I then said I usually get a crib when traveling and was just ignored. My husband had to go out after 10pm to Walmart to buy a play yard for our daughter to sleep in since she would roll off the bed or sofa. On top of that, the hotel was not the quality that I am used to when staying at Hilton Hotels. It was more like a 2-star or less hotel. Needless to say, we did not get the kids to sleep until almost midnight and we got very little sleep ourselves. I cannot express how distressing our stay was. I just called the hotel (Tuesday morning) and said we were traveling with a 15 month old and asked if they had cribs. Guess what, they said the did.
