Great place and perfect location. Very clear directions and they made it easy on us. Even provided snacks for us. Parking can be a little tricky in the evenings but that didn’t stop my 4 year old from saying the place was “beautiful”.

Downtown Fun

What a great location to all the fun downtown! Such a cool place inside too! It was cozy and made you feel like you were taking a step back into the Gatsby era. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cool spot in the heart of downtown Tuscaloosa

Stayed with my family and the place was fantastic. It is a second floor walk up so be aware stairs are required. Parking is a bit of a hassle but most days we didn't have any issues and the public lot is a very short walk. Place was well equipped and themed in a fun way. Easy drive to campus the strip.

Weekend in T town

Very unique with lots of character. Small bedrooms, but great for a short stay. Very convenient. Parking was tough at times with so many people in town but we were made aware of that in advance. I recommend!

Good location

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms are pretty small. The rules felt a little excessive to our group and silly. It made me uncomfortable that it was required to send a photo of my drivers license and a picture of myself. We didn’t need to contact the property manager during our stay.

Perfect downtown location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property for our daughter’s sorority parents weekend. We could easily walk to all the restaurants and bars in the downtown area. There’s plenty of room to spread out so you don’t feel crowded like most hotel rooms. I was a little concerned we might have noise from nearby businesses but not at all. The only negative is you have to climb quite a few stairs to get in the unit but that wasn’t an issue for us. Also, we were lucky enough to find parking close by since it was a weekend. During the week, you would need to park in parking garage a block away. Overall, we loved the convenience, amenities and uniqueness of the property plus the ease of booking and communication. Highly recommend!
