It’s very clean , quiet and the staff is very nice and friendly. And I really appreciate the breakfast they serve. And especially Lisa at the desk she is awesome and very helpful. I enjoy my stay At Ambassador suites on Skyland Blvd.
We've only checked on an hour ago, the lobby and elevator was a little warm, but everything seems clean and smells nice. Our room is very nice and the bed very comfortable. I'm excited there is a tub but my husband is looking forward to his shower. A win for both of our tired, achy bodies after a long day of travelling. The front desk lady seems very nice too. It's very quiet @ 7:16 pm, we are very satisfied.
The accommodation was exceptional, and the caliber of service was truly exemplary. Our room appeared immaculately maintained and remarkably invigorating. I greatly appreciated the overall ambience of the hotel and the gracious, hospitable staff—particularly Lisa, whose radiant disposition and benevolence stood out. The complimentary breakfast further enhanced the experience.
I had a fantastic experience during my stay at Ambassador Inn & Suites. The rooms were clean and fresh along with friendly staff. Lisa at the front desk was kind, cheerful and helpful. I recommend people to stay at Ambassador whenever you are traveling to Tuscaloosa. Best place to stay and enjoy your holidays.
This was my second time staying here and I would absolutely come back again! The staff is always so welcoming and kind, which really makes a difference after a long day of travel. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the entire hotel has a relaxed and safe atmosphere. For the price, you really can’t beat the value — it’s affordable without sacrificing quality. The location is also excellent, especially if you’re visiting the University of Alabama or catching a game, since it’s just a short drive away. Overall, it’s a great place to stay, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and budget-friendly option in Tuscaloosa.
I had a wonderful two-night stay at this hotel when I visited Tuscaloosa. The accommodations were luxurious, and I was delighted with all the facilities I had access to. It was a wise decision to choose this hotel. I was thoroughly impressed by the staff, particularly Lisa, who worked at the front desk. She was incredibly helpful and provided valuable suggestions and answers to my inquiries. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. I wish you all the best for your future stays as well.
The owner and his staff were helpful, we had questions about the mini fridge (we had insulin for a pup) & he was up in just a few minutes, he was so kind, asking of anything he could improve, or anything we’d like to see in the future. The room was absolutely GREAT! The beds were extremely comfortable (we read reviews that said the beds were comfortable) and they in fact were, location was 8 minutes from the stadium, hotel smelled nice, just an over all great experience, we’ll be back!!! We were strapped for time as me and my friend worked the day before, and staff helped us have a great experience!
The stay was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Our room felt spotless and refreshing. I really enjoyed the hotel and the warm, welcoming staff, especially Lisa, who was incredibly cheerful and kind. The complimentary breakfast was a great bonus as well.
