Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was clean and the staff was nice and helpful. The outside area surrounding the hotel seemed a little iffy. You had to use your key to get into the hotel at all times: however, one of the side doors (with a lock) outdoor not close completely.
Easy on and off of Highway. Animal friendly. They have breakfast but nothing that I really eat. The only thing I would have appreciated is good coffee and something healthy like fruit. The coffee is horrible but the rooms were comfortable and the employees all were very nice.
The person working the breakfast everyone morning was wonderful. She was very engaging and she remembered our grandson the second day and asked him how he enjoyed the ballgame the previous and talked with him about it. She was great and the food was great.
This hotel has very helpful and friendly staff. I didn't have any pets with me but it's pet friendly. Clean, smelled nice, free hot breakfast included. Great value hotel. We always had plenty of clean towels. Room was spacious. Location was conveniently located just outside of the university area but a quick jump on the expressway and I was there.
This hotel was great! Friendly staff, clean rooms, and good breakfast selection. The fact the lobby was decorated in Bama merch was just the cherry on top!
Property smelled like smoke. Our initial room had an ugly smell. Floor was sticky. Sheets didn’t seem too sanitary. Asked to change rooms. The moved us ti different floor and that whole floor smelled like smoke even though non-smoking signs everywhere. My kids were covering their noses. One bed had stain on side of mattress. I felt itchy all night from probably bed bugs. The ceiling had a hole above the bed and the ceiling was cracking in two areas end to end and they had tried to do a bad patch job. The bathroom vent was rusty but more so dusty. The shower was were dirty. Stainless steel fridge was dented badly. Ironing board was stained in several spots. Couldn’t cancel remaining days for reservation until General Manager came to work next day. Advised of problems and she apologized, cancelled remaining days and said she would clean room extra good for the last day staying there for us. Came back from day trip and nope, just new towel and trash taken out. No new sheets, etc. I’m really not a high maintenance dude, but come on, put some money back into this place. Oh and $450/night Fri & Sat for game night. Was it worth it? Heck no! Very very bad experience. I will never stay here or any Red Roof Inn EVER. What is even the plus for?
We asked to change rooms because the room reeked of cigarette smoke and was a guaranteed no smoking room. The second room has a white substance all over the surfaces of the cabinets and the floor was so sticky ours shoes stuck to it. We did not even want to put our bags down. We left and did not stay in either room. We were told the person who could authorize a refund was not there. It was worth it to lose the money rather than stay there.
Overnight stay. The hotel is clean and quiet. The staff is friendly. Our room was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. Some of the furniture is old and the room is space but very good for the price.
