    Great location when I’m in Huntsville visiting one of my distributors. Parking seems to be an issue though. Plan on arriving early if you don’t want to park in the hotel next door parking.

    We stayed there twice, seven days apart. It's a nice Hampton Inn, with a very nice pool, exercise room, and dining area, and it's located in a quiet spot away from other buildings. The breakfast wasn't great, there was no nightlight in the bathroom during our second stay (and I accidentally left mine there when we left 😟), and the beds were too soft for us. I think they needed to change the HVAC filter in the second room, since I'd start sneezing every time it came on. It was also irritating that they charged a $3 fee for parking in their lot in the middle of nowhere. It's the first time I've run into that one. Due primarily to the soft beds, we'll look for a different Hampton Inn next time we're in the area.

    Hotel is very clean and well maintained. Staff is very friendly and the room I had was comfortable and clean. I feel they didn’t have an adequate amount of towels in the bathroom but that’s a minor thing. Breakfast was hot and ready in the morning, nothing to brag about but for a quick hot breakfast it was good. Plenty of common space downstairs for lounging or visiting. They have a nice indoor pool to use which is really nice. Only real issue is the 3 dollars they charge for parking, it’s not a lot of money but it’s the principal. The cost of the room should already be covering operating and maintenance expenses of the hotel and to nickel and dime people is just disrespectful. What’s next, charging a fee for water and electricity?
