Guide to Alabama Hotels and Motels

Alabama hotels and motels abound, but which one offers the best accommodations for your particular business trip? If you plan to be there a day or a weekend, the accommodations you need will be different than those needed for a longer stay. If you are entertaining your clients or meeting with them for business, this can also be a factor in where you stay, especially if you are providing the meeting room.

Choose the best facilities to make your business trip a success. You may need wireless Internet, unlimited free local calls, a business center to send faxes or meeting room capabilities. On longer stays, you may prefer a suite to just a room. Look for the following when you make an Alabama motel reservation:

1. Look for Alabama hotel rooms for your short-term stay.

2. Select Alabama hotels and motels in AL that offer extended stay low cost options.

3. Choose Alabama vacation motels near local attractions for a work and fun business trip.

Look for Alabama hotel deals for short term stays

If you are going to Alabama for a one day business meeting, you just need a place to park yourself overnight, and then catch your flight home in the morning. As long as the room is clean, comfortable and offers basics such as Internet, it should do the job for you.

I recommend: The Westin Huntsville by Starwood Hotels & Resorts offers high-speed Internet service and the Westin "heavenly" bed for your relaxation. Country Hearth Inns & Suites provides free high-speed Internet access and Complimentary "InnCredible Breakfast," so have breakfast before traveling home.

Pick extended stay motels in AL for longer stays

When you will be staying for a week or longer, extended stay Alabama inns are your best bet for a successful business trip. These hotels offer more than one room suites; they provide full kitchens, business centers, high speed wireless Internet and meeting centers.

I recommend: Wingate by Wyndham provides kitchenettes in their suites and serves hot breakfast, free, every day. Top that out with a free copy of "USA Today" and a business center; this hotel is there for you on those longer stays. Days Inn offers king suites with extra room for the longer stays. They feature free high-speed Internet and free breakfast and offer many locations in Alabama.

Make your Alabama hotel reservation near a resort for business and pleasure

If you want to play golf or relax on white sand beaches on the gulf, Alabama inns offer various activities designed with fun in mind. Visit the Huntsville Space Center for a different vacation, or take in historical sites when you finish work and begin play.

I recommend: Doublehead Resort offers a nature trail, white sand beach and volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, so play hard after you work hard. Mentone Log Cabins, located in the mountains, offers log cabins with hot tubs for your relaxation enjoyment. Take in the views, and forget your work while you are here.
