Home2 Suites by Hilton Huntsville

8/10 Good
"Very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was ok, location was very convenient for us. We stayed Friday night for one night. My only complain is the price. For some reason it was almost double of the regular price for this hotel. Maybe because of the good weather. But the price was a little bit unreasonable."
