Situated near the amphitheater, location is key when traveling for business or pleasure, which is why our Northport hotel has everything guests need for a great trip including a prime location.
The University of Alabama brings many out-of-towners to the area, and our friendly staff reveres southern hospitality, treating guests like part of the family the minute they arrive. With the campus only a few minutes away, it’s easy to take in a legendary football game or the lecture of the year, or for visiting faculty and staff to enjoy an extended stay in a spacious, quiet room. Whether it is business, academics or a vacation that brings you here, depend on our staff to make you feel welcome.
College football is a huge draw, and there’s no better way to ring in the autumn months than with a home game or two. We also cater to groups and give a warm welcome to rival teams and fans of U of A alike. Our convenient location close to Tuscaloosa and downtown also makes us popular with travelers who are looking for something more than games and academics. Slip away and enjoy the nightlife or explore the bustling Tuscaloosa area. Both are a brief drive away.
Summer camp is another big draw of the area, both at the University as well as other nearby locations. At our Northport hotel, we make it easy to access the town as well as the great outdoors just a few miles away. For summer camp parents, you can enjoy a longer stay at our property while the kids make the most of their summer in Alabama. Luxurious bedding, modern accommodations and the most helpful staff in town help make your summer one for the record books.
From business trips to family road trips, staying at the right Northport hotel can make all the difference. Enjoy the fall foliage or simply spend your summers relaxing at one of the nearby water recreation sites. Campus events happen year-round, too.
Book your next stay at the Best Western Catalina Inn and enjoy a fantastic value! Enjoy your stay.Show More

This is a MOTEL not a hotel. Keep that in mind if you want a safe, nice, clean hotel- do not stay here if you do. Staff were friendly and helpful as there was no hot water in the morning and we had to take cold showers before checking out. Room had a terrible small so turned up the AC but it did not help.

Thank you - fast check-in is appreciated for a tired, late night traveling duo. Very comfortable and tidy room, near abundant retail and food establishments you may desire for travels or lengthy stay. Air was cold and working wonderfully. A good night rest. The modern shower tubs have a slight lip over-hang around the top of the tub part, which creates a crease all the way around the tub(s). That area has been overlooked and mold is noticeable all the way around when laying in the tub. Otherwise spotless.

Stayed here while in town for a volleyball tournament. This is an older motel but it has been remodeled. Checkin/out was quick and easy. Our bed was comfy. My daughter slept on the pullout sofa and she said it could have been better but it was only for 1 night. The hotel was easy to get to and there were plenty of food options around. We would stay again if back in the area.

We stayed one night for a volleyball tournament nearby. It is an older motel but has been renovated. Check in and out was easy and staff was friendly. It was very clean and the bed was comfy. There are lots of places to eat right across the street along with a cvs and Walgreens. You do have to drive past the motel and uturn to get back to it but it wasn’t that bad. We would stay here again.

The rooms are a decent size, the beds are comfy, the rooms are always kept nice and clean. The water pressure is good, the refrigerator is a decent size and works, the ac/heater works very well, there is a fan in the bathroom (I hate going to the bathroom in places without a fan to make a little noise). The bath towels were thick and comfy. The price was $92 - I don't know if that is good or bad - I don't really compare prices much these days. Maybe that was a holiday rate and normally its cheaper? Anyway - seemed a decent rate to us. The staff is nice and friendly, the breakfast covers all the bases and always seemed warm and not like it had been sitting there for hours or anything. I have no complaints - my family has stayed there once or twice a year for 3 or 4 years now and we will continue going back as long as the high level of cleanliness and friendly staff continue. Its not the Ritz-Carlton or anything, but if you like a nice clean place that checks all the boxes and gives you nothing to complain about, this is your place. There is some construction going on on the road in front of the place and you have to weave into a few traffic cones to get into the main road, but that wasn't difficult and presumably that construction will finish sometime in the near future and the cones will go away. One thing my family likes when staying in a motel is feeling safe in the parking lot. Some places seem dark and scary or have scary people roaming around at late hours. I don't see any of that at this motel - we always feel safe.

Hotel was very clean. Breakfast was exactly what is expected. Ice machine was easily accessible. Rooms were exceptionally clean. Will definitely stay here again. Very short distance to Bryan Denny Stadium and great restaurants.

Spent one night in town for a game. The Best Western Catalina Inn was clean and very well maintained. The double bed room was comfortable. Staff was pleasant and there was a small continental + breakfast offered in the lobby. Super convenient to get to campus pre and post game. This is an older style hotel, one story with doors opening to the courtyard parking. We felt safe in the area and would stay here again.

This is NOT a Hotel. This a Motel. There is a big difference. Entrance to all rooms are from the exterior. The prices are way too high for a Motel. They charge $95 for a Motel. Should be more like $55 for a Motel.

There aren't many hotels in Northport so I took this one because it's the nearest one to tomorrow's destination. Despite it's age, this place is clean and comfortable with a very nice staff. A Waffle House next door but everything else is across a very busy highway. I will stay again when I'm in town.
