NORTH BETHESDA, Md. — The newest extended stay brand of Choice Hotels has landed in the Rocket City.
Everhome Suites, designed to meet the needs of long-term travelers, opened a 98-room hotel at 5581 Holmes Ave., just off University Drive, behind The Gallery shopping center and adjacent to Sam’s Club.
The hotel offers convenient access to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, MidCity District, and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Developed by EHS Huntsville LLC, the property was designed by Woolpert and constructed by Integrated Construction.
“Choice Hotels is experiencing significant expansion with Everhome Suites,” said Matt McElhare, vice president and lead for Extended Stay Brands, Choice Hotels. “Our recent openings in top markets like Huntsville … reinforce our first mover advantage in the segment and the value of our proven extended stay support system to developers and operators.
“Everhome Suites provides long-staying guests with a fresh, modern, affordable product and we look forward to introducing the brand in another 15 markets this year.”
Choice Hotels now has 10 Everhome Suites open across the country providing apartment-style accommodations . Everhome Suites is on track to have 25 hotels open by the end of the year with 20 currently under construction.
“The growth of Everhome Suites is a direct result of our strong collaboration with developers and owners to continuously value-engineer the brand so that it is well positioned for growth within the new construction midscale extended stay segment,” said Ron Burgett, senior vice president, Extended Stay Development, Choice Hotels. “For the combined economy and midscale extended stay segments, our brands including Everhome Suites represent about half of all hotels that opened in 2024 or are currently under construction.”
