Top Athens Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Huntsville at the Space & Rocket Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and property. Staff was responsive and always polite. "

Anthem House Huntsville MidCity, powered by Placemakr

10/10 Excellent

"This place is great. Everything was perfect. The room seemed to be brand new. Fully furnished kitchen. Shops all within walking distance. This was super nice because you dont have to leave the grounds for anything. Lots of stuff to do all around within a mile. The staff was super friendly and helpful. This is a 5 star place in my opinion. The value for the money is unbelievable. I have payed more for hotels in the area that are not half as good as this place. Cant wait to go back when i have soccer in the area."

Hyatt Place Huntsville/ Research Park/ Redstone

10/10 Excellent

"EVERY ONE of the staff is amazing, personable, and do whatever it takes to please their guests. The entire property was spotless. We will definitely stay at this hotel again. Please let the following staff know they were wonderful: Elyssa, Chris, Anna and Sean! The BEST!"

Sleep Inn Athens I-65

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but was pretty nice alittle dated but clean, beds were comfy bathroom clean a plus for me and property seems pretty clean, check in and check out staff really nice, house keeping was great l forgot my phone cord and girl ran it all the way down to lobby before we left (thankfully lol)all and all would definitely stay again "

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Huntsville Research Park

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was ok for my husband but your ‘continental’ breakfast in America is a far cry from that in Europe - no fresh fruit that I could see. The room itself was a delight! Full marks La Quinta Huntsville for having such high standards and fresh, clean, modern amenities. Only slight downside were the coffee lids were too small for the machine. It was ok as I just boiled the water as normal and dropped the coffee bag in - which was good quality, thank you."
