WoodSpring Suites: Economy Meets Comfort
Now, let’s dive into what these hotels have to offer. First up, we have WoodSpring Suites, which provides excellent economy options for budget-conscious travelers. With both weekly and monthly rates, this hotel is perfect for those here for an extended stay. Each room comes equipped with in-room kitchens, complete with full-size refrigerators, two-burner stovetops, microwaves, and prep areas – talk about making meal prep a breeze!
Guests can also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and access to a 24-hour fitness center. With the option of queen- or king-size beds, it’s sure to meet every traveler’s needs.
Everhome Suites: Luxury Awaits
On the other side is Everhome Suites, showcasing a more upscale, apartment-style vibe with its 98 spacious rooms. Featuring gorgeous spa-inspired bathrooms and dedicated workspaces, it’s truly impressive. Travelers can expect fully equipped kitchens, including convenient dishwashers, making mealtime easy peasy.
Some select one-bedroom suites even include in-room washers and dryers, solving the laundry dilemma for those staying longer. Plus, guests can access a 24/7 self-serve market and a fitness center – who said staying away from home couldn’t feel like a luxury stay?
Huntsville: A Growing Epicenter of Activity
Did you know that Huntsville’s Everhome Suites is one of only three to open nationwide in 2025? With two more sites being developed in Chandler, Arizona, and Temecula, California, we are truly part of something remarkable!
According to reports, Huntsville was chosen for the new Everhome Suites due to its incredible growth as a hub for aerospace, technology, and innovation. In fact, construction delays were attributed to the city’s rigorous inspection process, illustrating just how serious they are about maintaining quality standards amidst a high volume of development projects!
Tourism on the Rise
Speaking of growth, a 2023 City of Huntsville report indicated that this year has seen more Certificates of Occupancy issued than any other year since the beginning of recordkeeping in 1983. With Huntsville’s population growing rapidly, welcoming hundreds of new residents each month, it’s no wonder Madison County welcomed nearly 4 million visitors in 2023 alone!
This influx of tourists resulted in an impressive $2.4 billion in travel-related spending, with over 2.8 million of those visitors opting to stay overnight in local hotels. Plus, visitor spending this year saved the average Huntsville household about $1,300 annually in taxes – an outcome that benefits everyone in the community!
As Huntsville continues to invest in infrastructure and development, we can only expect the demand for these new extended-stay accommodations to rise. With great events like the grand opening celebration, it’s clear that Huntsville is stepping into a bright future full of opportunity. So, get ready to make some unforgettable memories in this vibrant city!
