Travel tips
The hotel's location near LongHorn Steakhouse (80m) and Beef 'O' Brady's (1.1km) means guests can easily walk to dinner without moving their car. Most local attractions -- Sand Mountain Park, the Albertville Museum, and Short Creek Falls -- are a short drive away, though Guntersville Dam and Goat Island require a longer trip of over 17km. Note that the nearest airports, Huntsville International (about 61km) and Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International (about 93km), require significant drive time, so plan ground transportation accordingly.
