I think we have stayed at every Hilton property in this area. The HI in Tuscaloosa is at the top of the list of most we have stayed at. Courteous employees welcoming the minute you walk in, warm cookies in the evening, very clean everywhere. 30 yrs old, but they repair what they can and keeps it up. It deserves more than a 5 star rating. Room looks great, bed was very comfortable. Out side landscaping was above most. Pool is great with plenty of tables and chairs. I could go on and on. Kuddos to everyone.
