Pleasant surprise

The exterior is pretty shabby, but the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was unexpected (not in the travel website guidebook!) and full of choices.
Enjoyed our stay!

The employees were all exceptionally friendly, the hotel was very clean and out of every motel/hotel we stayed in this week during our road trip, this was by far, my favorite! We actually decided to extend our vacation by one more day and booked another night.

Location may off-set lackluster maintenance

The cable TV reception was nearly non-existent in the first room I was assigned. After moving next door to a room where the cable actually worked, I was disappointed to find the second room did not have a microwave or mini-fridge (which the first room offered). Both room's had the showers mounted at about 5 ft level, which is pretty low.

I stay at a lot of La Quinta Inns as I travel. They are always pretty moderately priced, generally pretty comfortable, and generally easy to get to and around the main sites of a city.
This last point is especially true of the La Quinta in Huntsville at the Space Center. Located on University Drive, it is right in the middle of the commerce side of town with the mall, the supercenters, and many shops and restaurants within a mile of the hotel. This La Quinta sites about halfway between the space center/botanical gardens and downtown Huntsville, with the historic sites and museums.
Price-wise, the La Quinta Inn is on the lower end for this area. Everything (but the gas) is moderately priced in Huntsville, and the $50 per night seems to be a pretty good deal compared to others in the area.
The cleanliness and overall quality on this hotel were good but not exceptional. There were some papers left in the dresser from a previous stay, but the room did feel clean. The continental breakfast was poor; I ended up eating out instead. The staff was friendly.
The amenities this hotel offers are similar to others in the neighborhood. There is a pool. All rooms have basic cable TV. The two ice machines closer to the back of the hotel were both broken.
I recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Huntsville, Alabama, strictly due to its location, as it is pretty average on everything else.
