It's also a solid fit for business travelers working near Redstone Gateway or NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and for families combining a stay with visits to Huntsville's science and children's museums.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended, since major attractions like the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Space Camp, and downtown Huntsville sites are a short drive rather than walking distance.
