I had a wonderful time staying at "American best value Inn".The beds where comfortable,the shower was hot, the towels where places nicely, comes with a fridge and microwave for food and beverages,and the tv had great channels. And don't get me started on the customer service; There was a lady at the front desk (Tameka) she was so polite, welcoming, understanding and professional I would like to thank her again for her cooperation.10/10 will stay again!!

The staff was so friendly and our room was very clean we had no issues at all got to cut up some with the ladies who clean the room didn't get their names but they deserve a raise if I do say so. Most of the time I've stayed over night in a motel the ladies wasn't friendly but here I must say they were great if we needed anything they was quick to get it I just wish I had ask their names. I do remember the office girls name it was Tiffany and she was so sweet and friendly too Thank y'all for the great accommodations

Good place for the price. Close to the main roads, so expect the occasional police siren. The room is in good condition, although there are a few marks on the wall. The windows need cleaning. The vending machine is empty, but the light is still on... So there's hope. The Wi-Fi speeds are good, at least in my room.

Could not be more impressed!! Very clean hotel! Employees were outstanding! The location was PERFECT! And to top it off, on an Alabama A-Day weekend they allowed 1 night reservations and did not raise prices. They had coffee, cereal, some fruit and donuts in their breakfast area but there is a Waffle House touching their parking lot. There is also a Shrimp Basket touching their parking lot. They have smoking and non-smoking rooms. All around A+++ I will DEFINITELY stay here again if the chance arises!!

This place was great. We had a group of 14 staying at the hotel, they kept all our rooms together which made it perfect for bloody Mary's in the morning. The rooms were clean and well maintained thru out our stay. The staff was great they made our stay perfect. As we were booking this trip there were a few in the group hesitant about this hotel, by the end of our stay their tunes had changed. This may be one of the best values in Tuscaloosa on game weekend. Keep up the great work I look forward to staying again.

I have been staying here for a week now the service and rates are really good. Room service come like they're supposed to. The owners are really nice the parking lot is always clean. Also it is not noisy and they're not a lot of funny characters sitting around outside. Also the rooms are beautiful and well cleaned. That is why I rate this hotel five stars.
