The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Inn & Suites University

Simple Comforts Close to the Music Scene

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly comfort at Econo Lodge Inn & Suites in Huntsville. Located on University Drive, this 2-star hotel places you within easy reach of the city's best live music spots, shopping centers, and local attractions. With essential amenities like free WiFi, 24-hour front desk service, and in-room refrigerators, it’s a smart choice for travelers who need a no-fuss base near the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a solid pick for those catching a show in Huntsville. You're less than 5 miles from Southern Adventures and just a short drive or ride-share away from downtown venues. After the encore, return to a quiet room away from the late-night noise. The 24-hour front desk gives you peace of mind if you're arriving late, and check-in starts at 3:00 PM, perfect for a pre-show nap.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room and save
  • Solo travelers chasing their dream concert
  • Couples who want an affordable weekend escape
  • Fans seeking a quiet space to unwind after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is surrounded by casual dining spots along University Drive—many within walking distance and open late. You’ll also find room service available for those post-show cravings, and nearby breakfast spots to refuel after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel doesn’t host live music, it’s well-placed for exploring Huntsville’s bar and lounge scene. Downtown hotspots are just a short drive away, and University Drive offers a few dive bars and local haunts for a low-key nightcap.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s convenient location for events and its quiet surroundings, making it easy to relax after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the property is a bit dated and could use a refresh—but most agree it delivers solid value. A few guests noted the breakfast options were limited, so plan to explore nearby diners for morning fuel.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to Huntsville for a concert and want a clean, quiet, and affordable place to crash—Econo Lodge Inn & Suites hits the right notes.
