From what I could tell my room was the only room that did not have a digital thermostat on the wall. It had a thermostat, but nothing to change the setting. Settings were done on the unit itself which was confusing to set. Plus, mine did not work. The temperature would swing from very cold to very hot without changing anything. Plus, the unit would sometimes come on for five seconds every couple of minutes, and then shut off. Obviously it was broken, so I asked at the front desk to have someone look at it. While I was out someone obviously looked at it because there was no a label on the useless wall theremostat that to change the temperature to use the thermostat on the unit. Well, duh. So, I spent several uncomfortable nights waking up hot/cold, hot/cold.
I was given the handicap unit which has its pluses and minuses. I liked the big shower and not having to take a shower in a bathtub, but the vanity top was small and awkward. The doorbell was nice, but that would have only come in handy on Halloween.
Bed was comfortable, but the mattress had a tendancy to slide off the box spring, so I would have to adjust it every night. This could have been because I got out of bed so many times each night trying to adjust the temperature.
No bathroom exhaust fan, so the mirror was useless for about 15 minutes after taking a shower.
Breakfast buffet was average for hotel breakfast buffets, but I thought it was a little expensive for Huntsville. I tried the nearby Denny's, but that was probably the worst Denny's I have ever eaten at, so the hotel breakfast was probably a little better.
Hotel staff was friendly and helpful (except maintenance).
It really is probably more of a 3-star hotel, but because I could not get comfortable because of the temperature, I have to give it a 1-star.
Room Tip: Unless you need it, don't ask to be put in the handicap room unless they put in a real thermosta...
