I stayed at the Bama B&B on the weekend I moved my oldest child to college. I have a full schedule while I was in town, and didn't get to spend much time there, but the time I did was more than I could have asked for. My son stayed in his dorm the night I stayed, so I was in the room alone and feeling very proud/happy/sad/sentimental/emotional. Crawling in the plush, comfy bed with fantastic bedding and tons of pillows felt like a hug. Staying somewhere so cozy and comforting when I was so emotional was just what I needed!

Thank you Kate! I remember how emotional I was when I dropped my baby boy off at a school over 13 hours away. I cried all the way home. I am so glad you felt comforted while here. We can't wait for you to come back and stay again when it's not so hectic!

My husband and I had never visited Tuscaloosa, our visit to the Bama Bed and Breakfast has us wanting to return and learn more about the city. We were driving from NE Georgia to Natchez, Mississippi and this was a great halfway point. Before we arrived, communication with Kim through texts was very helpful. When we arrived, we felt like we were visiting old friends. The home is beautiful, the bed was super comfortable, and Tuscaloosa was great! We had never used Uber, but were thrilled to be able to move into this century by using it. We wish we could have stayed longer than one night! We were going to drive the Natchez Trace Parkway and did B & Bs each night. This was one of the top 2 spots! We loved breakfast (amazing grits...tried cocoa gravy for the first time) and purchased some great jewelry by Amanda. We even purchased a set of sheets (soooo comfortable and soft)! We look forward to going back to visit soon!

I would like to thank the wonderful folks that own and run Bama Bed and Breakfast close the campus of the University of Alabama. We had the best time as the family, food, and accommodations were absolutely wonderful. We were there to wish our daughter a happy 20th birthday and the owners even let her come and have breakfast with us on more than one occasion. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Before we were scheduled to arrive the hostess texted me a couple of times and asked to let her know when we were an hour away. She gave us complete instructions on where to park and everything. The place was beautiful and the food was good. Our room was extremely small and so was the bathroom. Hardly room to turn around. There were notes with rules posted everywhere. "In the South we do not open the windows..." I am from the South and we do open windows. Within the first 5 minutes of talking with the hostess she asked if I was going to get the vaccine and I told her "no". She told me that she was as soon as she possibly could. We were required to wear a mask and we did, and it was enforced that we stand 6 feet apart at breakfast. She stood at the head of the breakfast line giving instructions and generously issued the hand sanitizer to each guest instead of trusting us to get some ourselves. ? I had so much I had to wipe some on my pants. We were told that in the South we do not cut biscuits we twist them off. So I accommodated her and twisted but I normally just use a knife. The blackberry jam was fantastic. We were told how to ladle the chocolate syrup (not my thing) on top of the biscuits as she glanced. We had a complete breakfast with grits and were given paper plates with Easter bunnies on them. There was a note on the patio door, where we ate, which told us to leave the plates on the table. Regular plates would have been more appropriate. The screen around the patio was torn. But we enjoyed the fresh air and warm weather. We will not stay there again because of the micromanaging. We enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere with less regulations and notes. We are very familiar with bed and breakfast inns and usually do not interact so much with the hostess and so many rules.

I'm so sorry we did not meet your expectations. Bed and Breakfasts are a unique experience, but certainly are not for everyone.

Bama B&B was recommended to me when I was looking for a place to stay while moving my daughter to the University for freshman year. I was not disappointed! We were greeted with such warmth, it was like walking into a big hug. The home itself was beautiful and family owned and lived in. I was expecting a little continental breakfast since they were limited due to Covid. OMG, the biscuits, the cocoa sauce, the bacon.....Everything was divine! The room we stayed in was retro Bama theme, and it was adorable, clean, and well stocked with complimentary snacks and water. I loved that there was a noise machine to use in the room too since I sleep with white noise all year. I honestly hated to leave and will surely stay there again when I'm visiting my daughter.

Quaint B & B in the heart of Tuscaloosa. A perfect spot to stay for a football weekend! The owners were so friendly, and the residence was all dressed up for Halloween and cute as could be. Breakfast was traditional southern fare with the most amazing cloud-like biscuits. I will definetly return.

Mama Bed & Breakfast is definitely the best place to stay when visiting Tuscaloosa. The house is charming, rooms are beautiful and quaintly decorated, breakfast was delicious, and the family could not have been more pleasant. Southern Hospitality for sure. I will be back.

My daughter and I stayed for two nights recently while attending a prospective student event at the University of Alabama. If she decides to attend, we will be frequent visitors. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. Breakfast was great! We had homemade cinnamon rolls one morning and biscuits another along with bacon,eggs,grits and fruit. The host family was welcoming and gracious.

Our first trip ever to Alabama was made extra special because of Bama B&B. It was a very quick trip to Univ of Alabama for my daughter to tour the school. She LOVED it and will now be attending next year. I think the fabulous hospitality at Bama B&B (and the best breakfast EVER!!) is at least half the reason she chose the school. Since our stay we have made two more reservations for the same suite for her orientation and then for her move in date. We can't wait to go back. It will make leaving our daughter in Alabama much easier knowing that we have a great place to stay when we visit.
