Great Hotel Centrally Located in Huntsville...

Across from Huntsville best BBQ (Dreamland), the hotel was central, clean, modern and spacious. I was impressed with the value and would say it was one of the best during my last road trip. The free breakfast is in a separate building - which was a little odd - but the variety was great. The best breakfast spread of my trip in fact. I would recommend this hotel and plan to stay there when business brings us back to Huntsville Alabama...

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Walk across the street and have the Dreamland BBQ - it is southern hospitality personified. Have a rack, their special sauce and top it off with pecan pie... "it's some good "... After 10:00 pm all restaurants but Chillis down the street shuts down at 11:00 pm by he way during the week - so try to eat earlier than we did one night. Chillis has last call for alcohol at 10:30 pm unfortunately!

RPM INSPECTION TRIP TO HUNTSVILLE 061810

The bed was heavenly - it was just a little noisy with several families that were staying in the wing where I was. The staff was wonderful and the room was great and I TRULY appreciate being able to smoke in the room.

Not bad for overnight business stay

Room was very clean, which is vital to me, but the walls were thin, and I could hear my neighbors easily all night long.

OK

Holiday Inn desk lady was extremely helpful. I had a very heavy suitcase, and with a bad back, I couldn't schlep the bag up a flight of stairs (no elevator at this Holiday Inn express. So she switched rooms for me to a first floor suite (I'm a platinum priority club member).

Very friendly staff, room was nice, spacious. The breakfast was great

This was a very nice visit, I was on business so I did not get to fully enjoy. It was easy to find, easy to check in. I would certainly recommend this Hotel if you need to be close to the space center and airport. Room was very comfortable!

Family Friendly

This hotel was very comfortable for the price. Some of the carpeting is a little old in the hallways but I understand that they are scheduled to replace this by the end of the summer. Most of the staff are very courteous and helpful. My only complaint is that my iPod and the speaker case were left in the bedside table (I placed it there myself) and when I called to advise them that I left it there the housekeeping manager stated that housekeeping was not able to locate it and they would call me back to advise. I still have not heard from them.

It is located in a good area. There is a 24 hour pharmacy just across the street that is very convienent and several restaurants all within walking distance to the hotel. There is also a very large shopping mall just 2 miles down the road with additional restaurants, gas stations, and entertainment close by.

I had a great stay

the Hoilday Inn Express in Huntsville, AL was very comfortableplace to stay in that town. I was lucky enough to stay in one of their suites which I thought was had a nice roomy feel. it had a living room with a TV desk and a wet bar with a refridgeator and a very nice bathroom. the bedroom had it's onw bathroom and TV. The amenities we great and the staff at the front desk and at the breakfast bar were very helpful people. i would choose that hotel again!
