Probably the closest hotels are at the I-65/US72 (Athens) intersection. There is a Quality Inn there that used to be a Hampton, or vice versa. I know you like Hamptons, but the closest I know of is in Madison, AL near the I-565/Wall-Triana exit. It will take about 20-25 minutes to get to the field from there. The hotels at the I-65/US-72 exit appear to be cheaper.
The field is about 20 minutes from my house, so I don't stay in hotels too often
